Iso-8
Gwenpool is an excellent choice for the Raider Iso-8 class, since both her Ultimate and Special attacks target all enemies, maximizing the chance to apply and trigger Vulnerable effects across the opposing team and do more serious damage. However, within the Retcon team, it can also be a strong option to assign her the Striker Iso-8 class. Because Gwenpool typically goes second (right after Jeff the Land Shark), as a Striker, she can immediately capitalize on Vulnerable effects placed by Jeff—especially if he is equipped with Raider, which is generally the best fit for him. In that case, she will grant additional Defense Up and additional Barrier with every attack against an enemy with Vulnerability. This synergy allows Gwenpool to exploit those Vulnerable targets right away, increasing both her damage output and the overall effectiveness of the Retcon team’s attack rotation.
T4 Priority
P – Passive ability
U – Ultimate ability
S – Special ability
B – Basic ability
Passive – She gains a crucial ability for War Defense: with 4 Retcon allies, she prevents enemies from filling or reducing Speed Bar for themselves, their allies, or their enemies. This upgrade is one of the key reasons the Retcon team is so powerful on War Defense, as it completely shuts down many speed-based strategies. Anyone planning to use Retcon as a War Defensive unit should prioritize maxing out this Passive for Gwenpool.
Ultimate – Deals significantly more damage and also applies Safeguard, Defense Up, and Speed Up to herself and all her Retcon and New Warrior allies. This upgrade is fantastic, as it guarantees your team receives crucial buffs when Gwenpool uses her Ultimate, greatly increasing their effectiveness in battle.
Special – Gwenpool deals increased damage. On Crucible Offense, it fills her Speed Bar by 70%, and in Battleworld, if she has 4 Retcon allies, it also fills her Speed Bar by 70%. This upgrade is extremely valuable in Battleworld, allowing Gwenpool to play again almost immediately after using her Special at the start of the fight—often letting her follow up quickly with her Ultimate. For War Defense, aside from the extra damage, this upgrade doesn’t offer much benefit, but in Battleworld, it greatly boosts her impact.
Basic – She will clear all Barrier from the primary target. If that target has Barrier, Gwenpool will Barrier herself for 30% of her Max Health (instead of just 15% if the primary target does not have Barrier). It’s a solid upgrade that isn’t essential, but it can be useful for extra survivability and controlling Barrier-heavy opponents.

About Character
Gwenpool is one of Marvel’s most unique and entertaining characters. Unlike most heroes, Gwen Poole isn’t from any comic book universe—she actually comes from our own “real world.” A huge fan of comics, Gwen suddenly finds herself transported into the Marvel Universe, where she decides to become a superhero, taking on the name Gwenpool.
What sets Gwenpool apart is her awareness that she’s inside a comic book. This “meta” knowledge gives her unusual powers: she can break the fourth wall, talk directly to readers, manipulate comic panels, and even use her knowledge of other characters’ secrets and stories to her advantage. While she doesn’t have traditional superpowers, her creativity, resourcefulness, and unpredictable nature make her a formidable force.
Gwenpool’s stories are filled with humor, action, and clever commentary on comic book tropes. At first, she tries to act like a typical hero, but soon realizes that the rules of the Marvel Universe are more flexible for someone who understands how stories work. This allows her to do things other heroes can’t, but also forces her to confront questions about responsibility and belonging.
Ultimately, Gwenpool teaches us that anyone can be the hero of their own story, even if they don’t fit the conventional mold. By embracing her outsider status and thinking outside the box, she shows that creativity and self-awareness can be just as powerful as any superpower.
Gwenpool is a Brawler who, On Spawn, gains Taunt, allowing her to cover her teammates right from the start. Additionally, at the beginning of combat, she applies 2 Evade to herself and to her Retcon or New Warrior allies, boosting the team’s overall mitigation and survivability.
In War Defense, Gwenpool gets extra bonuses, especially when teamed up with the Retcon squad. These bonuses enable her to prevent opponents from manipulating Speed Bar—whether boosting their own or reducing the Speed Bar of Gwenpool and her allies. This gives her team a strong advantage in controlling the flow of battle.
Most of Gwenpool’s attacks target all enemies, letting her deal more than solid damage across the board. At the same time, she consistently buffs her own team and debuffs the enemy, amplifying her value as both an offensive and defensive asset. With this unique mix of crowd control, protection, and offensive potential, Gwenpool is a powerful force on any team—especially when working with her Retcon allies.
