Using Striker in Marvel Strike Force

This section discusses the use of the Striker ability in Marvel Strike Force and its importance in raids.

Striker Ability

• The basic ability of Striker is not used often, so it is not necessary to invest in T4 upgrades for it.

• The special ability of Striker is a turn one ability that guarantees a stun. It is crucial for raids and should be upgraded with T4 materials.

• Upgrading the ultimate ability of Striker is important as it provides additional value by turning enemies based on the number of Bifrost allies and applying slow effects. It increases the value by 75% instead of just 50%.

• Even if you don't have a full team, using Val, Loki, and Sylvie can still be effective with their Turning Wind plus slow abilities preventing enemy attacks.

Choosing ISO-8 Classes for Striker and Loki

• Other ISO-8 classes are not considered significant or necessary for Loki's abilities.

Evaluating T4 Upgrades for Loki

This section evaluates the T4 upgrades available for Loki in Marvel Strike Force.

T4 Upgrades for Loki

• The basic ability of Loki has low damage output and is not considered important or impactful enough to invest in T4 upgrades.

• The ultimate ability of Loki does not provide any value in raids as no character can go under stealth in Mystic nodes. It is not necessary to upgrade this ability with T4 materials.

• The special ability of Loki, which increases the chance of mind controlling two targets, can be upgraded with T4 materials if desired, but it is not essential.

• The passive ability of Loki is the most important one for raids as it provides healing and revives Asgardian allies when they drop below 50% health. This ability should be upgraded with T4 materials.

Understanding the Passive Ability for Loki

This section explains the importance of the passive ability for Loki in Marvel Strike Force.

Passive Ability for Loki

• The passive ability for Loki activates multiple times during a match and provides healing and revives to Asgardian allies when they drop below 50% health.

• Other T4 upgrades for Loki's abilities are considered traps and not impactful enough to invest in.

Evaluating the Beast Raid Build

Beast Raid Build

• The Beast character has low damage output on his basic ability, making it less significant to invest in T4 upgrades.

• Other abilities of Beast are also not considered impactful enough to prioritize upgrading with T4 materials.

Team Impressions and T4 Recommendations

In this section, the speaker provides impressions of the full team and offers recommendations for T4 upgrades.

Full Team Impressions

• Valor (Val) is the most important character on the team.

• Other characters like Loki and Beta Ray Bill are not as crucial.

• Investing in New Warriors, Mamu, Doctor Doom, etc., is optional.

• Val's abilities include positive effects on blocks, healing, ability block application to multiple targets, shutting down enemies, AOE damage with additional revives, and exposing enemies to vulnerability.

• Val's passive ability gives energy to the entire team and deals additional damage to enemies.

T4 Recommendations for Val

• Upgrade Val's basic ability for more positive effects on blocks and applying ability block to multiple targets.

• Upgrade Val's ultimate ability for AOE damage and additional revives.

• Upgrade Val's passive ability for exposing enemies and giving energy to the team.

T4 Recommendations for Loki

• The basic ability T4 upgrade is not impactful as most of the damage comes from Val.

• The special ability T4 upgrade is useful in turn one situations but not essential.

• The ultimate ability T4 upgrade increases chances of mind control but can be skipped if already receiving invites from other sources.

Summary

The speaker emphasizes that investing in Val is crucial for success. Upgrading her basic, ultimate, and passive abilities with T4 upgrades will enhance her effectiveness. For Loki, only select T4 upgrades are recommended.

Piercing Damage with T4

This section discusses the piercing damage with T4 in relation to Battery Bill.

Piercing Damage with T4

• The T4 on the special ability of Sylvie is important as it provides an additional stun and should always be available, especially since it is a turn one ability.

• In Raid and Alliance Wars, the special ability's stun is crucial for control and should be prioritized over increased damage.

• The ultimate ability of Battery Bill has a controversial T4. It offers normal damage with a low multiplier based on positive effects. However, the damage increase is not significant enough to justify using the T4.

• Flipping all positive effects into Blitz on each enemy is recommended instead of focusing on increased damage from the ultimate ability.

• The passive ability of Battery Bill has a low damage multiplier and applies defense down to only one target. It is considered a superfluous T4 due to its limited impact compared to Thor's multiple target attacks.

• Overall, the special and possibly the ultimate abilities are the only T4s that truly matter for Battery Bill.

ISO White Recommendations for Battery Bill

This section provides recommendations for ISO White classes to use with Battery Bill.

ISO White Recommendations

• Red Riser, Striker, or Skirmisher ISO classes can be used for Battery Bill.

• Using Skirmisher class ensures that he lands stuns in game modes where it provides more energy. However, it may be challenging to pull off due to counter attacks from characters like Bifrost team and Heroes Guardians.

• Striker class can activate his passive more often but outside of Alliance Wars, his passive does not have much impact.

• Reddit (Raider) class can also be used in Alliance Wars, but it is not significant outside of that game mode.

• Skirmisher class is recommended, especially if using Battery Bill in Dark Dimension 6.

T4 Recommendations for Teen Loki

This section provides recommendations for T4 abilities for Teen Loki.

T4 Recommendations for Teen Loki

• The basic and passive abilities are important T4s for Teen Loki.

• The passive ability gives 100% counter attack chance and 60% more damage if characters have regeneration on them. This only works in Raid.

• The basic attack or isolate attack applies regeneration to the entire team if the T4 is used, resulting in 100% counter attack chance and 60% more damage for the team. If regeneration is present, the basic attack and counter attack also deal an additional 100 damage.

• The special and ultimate abilities provide slightly more damage to single or multiple targets but are not crucial.

• Teen Loki can be skipped as a character since his impact is not significant enough.
