Iso-8

Wolfsbane can be built as either a Striker or a Raider, and both Iso-8 classes allow her to deal excellent damage. However, Striker is generally a slightly better choice because, aside from her Special, her two other attacks (Basic and Ultimate) target only a single enemy. The Striker class lets her make the most of these single-target hits with extra Iso-8 attacks, stacking even more Bleed (mainly through her ability to prolong the duration of the negativities with Iso-8 attack) and increasing her overall effectiveness. Raider is still a strong option, especially if you want to maximize crits, but Striker tends to provide more consistent value for Wolfsbane’s kit.

T4 Priority

S – Special ability

P – Passive ability

U – Ultimate ability

B – Basic ability

Special – Deals increased damage and, in Crucible, if she has 3 New Mutant allies, reduces the duration of all positive effects (except Stealth) on all enemies by 2. This is a classic anti-Safeguard mechanic, allowing you to strip buffs from the enemy team in Crucible regardless of whether they’re protected by Safeguard or not. It provides the New Mutants with a reliable way to bypass one of the toughest defensive layers, ensuring they can keep enemy buffs under control in high-stakes matches.

Passive – Apply +1 Bleed to all enemies already affected by Bleed whenever Wolfsbane or any New Mutant ally lands a Critical Hit, up to a maximum of 10 Bleed stacks per enemy. This upgrade makes it possible to stack massive amounts of Bleed on the opposing team, especially since New Mutants have mechanics that enable them to consistently land Critical hits throughout the fight. The result is relentless damage over time, putting constant pressure on enemies and making it very difficult for them to recover.

Ultimate – After using it to attack her enemies and perform everything, Wolfsbane gains Offense Up for 2 turns and Speed Up for 2 turns. This means she’ll play sooner on her next turn and deal increased damage, making her even more dangerous and allowing her to maintain offensive pressure after her Ultimate. This upgrade adds a great self-buffing component, boosting both her speed and her damage output in the flow of battle.

Basic – Deal slightly more damage and always flip Regeneration on the primary target (up from a 50% chance). While this isn’t a crucial upgrade, it’s still a useful improvement, making her Basic more reliable at stripping healing buffs from enemies, and more useful, especially if we decide to give Striker Iso-8 Class to Wolfsbane.

About Character

Wolfsbane, whose real name is Rahne Sinclair, is a Scottish mutant best known for her role in the New Mutants team within the Marvel Universe. Born and raised in a strict religious environment, Rahne’s transformation into a mutant was both a blessing and a curse—she discovered she could shift between human, wolf, and wolf-human hybrid forms, granting her enhanced senses, speed, agility, and strength. However, her upbringing led to deep internal conflict, as she struggled with guilt and fear over her abilities, believing them at times to be sinful.

As a member of the New Mutants, Wolfsbane brought a unique mix of vulnerability and bravery to the team. Her powers make her an exceptional tracker and close-quarters fighter, while her loyalty to her friends is unwavering. Rahne’s bond with her teammates, especially with characters like Dani Moonstar and Warlock, helped her grow more confident in herself and her place in the world. Over time, she has learned to embrace her dual nature, using it to protect others and to fight for mutantkind.

Wolfsbane’s character is marked by her emotional depth and resilience. She often serves as the heart of the New Mutants, balancing moments of self-doubt with acts of courage. Her journey from a frightened girl to a confident hero resonates with many readers, making her one of the most beloved and relatable members of the New Mutants roster.

Wolfsbane is a Brawler capable of dealing massive damage to all enemies. All of her attacks are Piercing, meaning they ignore enemy Armor and hit much harder than standard attacks. She can apply Bleed, Heal Block, and Disrupted to opponents, reduce their Speed Bar, and prolong the duration of most negative effects already afflicting them.

One of her standout features is her ability to grant Speed Up to the entire New Mutant team whenever an enemy has Stealth. Additionally, whenever any New Mutant ally lands a Critical Hit, Wolfsbane applies an extra Bleed to all enemies who are already bleeding, allowing her to stack huge amounts of Bleed on all enemies throughout the battle.

In Crucible, Wolfsbane becomes even more dangerous. She passively fills her own Speed Bar whenever enemies receive Bleed, prevents opponents from assisting each other, blocks them from increasing their own Speed Bar, and stops them from reducing the Speed Bar of your team. All of this makes her a relentless force and a major threat to any enemy lineup. Simply put, Wolfsbane is a powerhouse who brings relentless onslaught and disruption.
