Iso-8

Franklin Richards works exceptionally well as the Striker Iso-8 class. This allows him to convert 3 of his own negative effects into positive ones and simultaneously turn 3 positive effects on his target into negative ones with his Iso-8 attack. It’s a powerful way to both cleanse himself of debuffs and disrupt opponents by flipping their buffs into harmful conditions.

T4 Priority

P – Passive ability

S – Special ability

U – Ultimate ability

B – Basic ability

Passive – Give him a +5% Speed boost until he completes his first turn, and Fantastic Four allies receive the same benefit. If there are two or more Fantastic Four (MCU) allies in play, Franklin will grant an additional +45% Speed to himself and all Fantastic Four allies, resulting in a total Speed increase of +50%. In the Arena, with two or more Fantastic Four (MCU) allies, all other allies will gain an extra +50% Speed. This upgrade significantly enhances the speed of the entire Fantastic Four (MCU) team or the Arena team at the start of the fight, providing them a considerable advantage over opponents.

Special – Allows him to reduce the duration of Safeguard by 2 turns on both primary and secondary targets if he has two or more Fantastic Four (MCU) allies. Additionally, he will deal increased damage. This is an outstanding upgrade because Franklin can copy and flip all positive effects on the primary and adjacent targets, after using his Special. So after the upgrade, even if the targets have Safeguard, which protects them from striping or flipping of buffs, he will remove it and then copy and flip all positive effects present on them without any issue.

Ultimate – Deal increased damage and, more importantly, clear all Charged effects from all enemies. This is an excellent enhancement, as it removes Charged from opponents, making them much weaker since characters that rely on Charged mechanics become significantly stronger while they possess Charged effects.

Basic – Flip 3 positive effects on the target to negative and convert 3 negative effects on himself to positive (up from 2). This is a solid upgrade, as being able to flip more positive effects into negatives on opponents and vice versa on yourself is always advantageous.

About Character

Franklin Richards is a character, known as one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe. He is the son of Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic) and Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), members of the Fantastic Four. Born with incredible powers due to his parents’ exposure to cosmic radiation, Franklin is classified as an Omega-level mutant, placing him among the most powerful mutants in existence.

Franklin’s abilities are vast and primarily rooted in reality manipulation and psionics. He has demonstrated the ability to create entire universes, reshape reality, and manipulate time and space. From a young age, he displayed extraordinary potential, often surpassing even the most experienced heroes and villains in terms of raw power. Despite his immense abilities, Franklin has been portrayed as a compassionate and kind-hearted individual, often grappling with the responsibility that comes with his power.

He has been instrumental in saving the universe on multiple occasions, including creating pocket dimensions and assisting his family and allies during cosmic-level threats. His relationship with his family, particularly his father Reed Richards, is a central theme in his character development, as they work together to understand and manage his powers.

Franklin Richards is a symbol of untapped potential and the challenges of wielding great power responsibly. His character continues to evolve within the Marvel Universe, representing hope, growth, and the limitless possibilities of imagination.

Franklin Richards is an exceptionally powerful character in the game, showcasing abilities that make him a standout controller. He introduces two significant mechanics: the Negative Effect “Silence” and the Battlefield Effect “Future Foundation.” Silence prevents affected characters from applying positive or negative effects to allies or enemies, and they are also unable to reduce the duration of positive effects. The Future Foundation Battlefield Effect, triggered by Franklin’s Ultimate ability, is particularly impactful in Arena mode. Once activated, it cannot be cleared or replaced and lasts until eight characters (allies or enemies) have completed their turns. During this time, on an enemy’s turn, Franklin applies Silence to that character. He also prevents enemies from filling or reducing Speed Bars for themselves, allies, or enemies. Those two effects are available in Arena. Additionally in all game modes enemies cannot assist while this effect is active.

Outside of these mechanics, Franklin Richards brings a host of other valuable abilities to the table. At the start of the battle, he passively increases Speed for himself and all Fantastic Four (MCU) allies, and in Arena mode, this extends to all allies. He restricts enemies from increasing their Speed Stat (except through positive effects) and gains 4% Speed Bar to his entire team whenever any Fantastic Four (MCU) member uses their Special or Ultimate abilities. Furthermore, Franklin can copy buffs from enemies and redistribute them to all allies, and then flip those buffs into debuffs on opponents, simultaneously strengthening his team while weakening the enemy. His ability to reduce the duration of positive effects on enemies (countering Safeguard mechanics) is only one of many things that makes him an incredibly strong and impactful character in the game, potentially one of the most powerful in Marvel Strike Force.
