S-Tier

Captain Marvel

There’s simply no better tank in Midnight Suns than Captain Marvel. Right out of the gate, her ability to give out hits just as hard as she can take them makes her a great choice for any team composition. She signs even brighter, both figuratively and literally, when she activates her Binary ability after three card plays, making her already excellent move set even stronger.

Magik

The environment is a powerful tool in Midnight Suns, and no one uses it better than Magik. Her ability to reposition enemies just where you want them with her Limbo Portal can be invaluable for AOE abilities, as well as making the best use of environmental hazards. Her legendary ability, Darkchylde, also ranks as one of the best in the game, granting Magik invulnerability and taunting every enemy for a turn.

Spider-Man

Spider-Man is as fast as he is deadly, much like his arachnid namesake. Chain Strike deals high damage and can target up to four enemies once it’s upgraded, making it an ideal for cutting down weakened enemies. Meanwhile, Opportunist can give you that extra oomph you need to secure a KO, by removing the cost of two environment attacks.

A-Tier

Captain America

While he’s not quite a top tier tank, Captain America is still more than capable of soaking up tonnes of damage. He can quickly relieve pressure from allies with Dig In, smacking enemies back with the upgraded version of the card. Tactician is also quite powerful, providing two heroic essence, a large amount of block, and allowing you to draw two cards.

Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange is a hybrid that acts primarily as a support, but his buffs can seriously help increase the amount of damage your team can do. Blessing of Vishanti quite literally increases the attack values of abilities in your hand, and he can deal a good amount of damage himself too, if you manage your heroic essence carefully, with abilities like Bolt of Balthakk.

Ghost Rider

If you enjoy the thrill of taking risks for an ultimately greater pay off, then you’ll want Ghost Rider by your side. His fiery abilities such as Immolate can create a chaotic chain reaction of explosions, while Lash lets you smack enemies about in any direction if you can pay the toll of taking a bit of damage yourself.

Iron Man

Iron Man is another hybrid of sorts that leans more towards a damage role, relying on redraws to enhance his abilities with additional effects. Leave It to Me can really help Tony Stark’s cards thrive, and it’s a particularly powerful combo when paired with Air Superiority.

B-Tier

Blade

While Blade is in a league of his own when it comes to cool factor, he is merely a decent dealer of damage. Strike is one of the best abilities early on in the game, helping to clear up multiple targets. Unfortunately, his kit works best when your enemies are bleeding, which means he ends up being quite reliant on cards like Make ’em Bleed and Glaive to truly shine.

Hulk

Hulk arrives very late in the campaign for Midnight Suns, making his overall usefulness a bit hard to define. For the short time you have him around before the final mission, the not so jolly green giant can hit enemies like a truck.

Nico Minoru

Given the unpredictability of the Staff of One, Nico can just as easily feel like the most powerful hero in your team or a sitting duck. She’s the closest thing that Midnight Suns has to a healer, with abilities like Blood for Blood and Restore. Sadly, there’s not much need for healing abilities unless you’re playing on the higher difficulties, making Witchfire her most valuable card if you can maximise its usefulness.

Scarlet Witch

Scarlet Witch arrives fairly late in the campaign, so you’ll need to work a little harder to build up her deck. Her base cards aren’t fantastic, but she can be built to put out decent AOE damage with cards like Unleashed, Chaos Reigns, and Hex Field.

Wolverine

Another late addition to the roster, Wolverine thankfully arrives with a great set of starting cards. The main reason he pales in comparison to other tanks is his reliance on lifesteal from Beserk which only lasts one turn, and the health-boosting Rapid Healing.

Don’t let our ranking deter you from picking someone who better fits your preferred play style, but our main advice is that you take a tank, damage, and support on each mission.
