Next-match recommendation
Start with simple answers: play near your tank, call Devil Dinosaur focus early, punish isolated Duelists after their mobility is down, and pick supports for survival plus tempo instead of pure damage boosting.
What changed
- 1Devil Dinosaur joined the roster, creating a new frontline variable while players learn the matchup.
- 2Emma Frost and The Thing gained more frontline staying power, while Deadpool's Vanguard form lost some damage and ultimate sustain.
- 3Several Duelists received sharper tools, including Iron Fist, Mister Fantastic, Moon Knight, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Squirrel Girl, and Wolverine.
- 4Strategist changes pushed Mantis toward movement utility, softened some Invisible Woman and Loki pressure, and improved Rocket and White Fox support patterns.
Who benefits
- 1Brawl teams that can group around tougher frontliners and finish fights together.
- 2Rocket Raccoon players who use the extra healing charges and faster ultimate timing to stabilize messy fights.
- 3Mantis players who use speed to reposition teammates instead of only chasing damage-boost value.
Who needs care
- 1Teams relying on old Loki or Invisible Woman pressure to win without clean target focus.
- 2Deadpool players who were leaning on raw Vanguard-form gun pressure and ultimate sustain.
- 3Players who ignore Devil Dinosaur's team-up pressure with The Punisher.
