Undoubtedly, the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) has taken over the film industry with its steady release of new movies and series that hardcore fans can't get enough of. And as the MCU introduces new characters like Namor, the cinematic universe continues to expand to new lengths. But, while longtime fans have enjoyed how Marvel has adapted their favorite heroes to the big screen, the video game adaptations haven't always hit the mark.
Games like Guardians of the Galaxy or Marvel's Avengers were met with harsh criticism, which ultimately led to their failures. Some Marvel games have lived up to fans' ambitions, and Marvel Future Fight is one such game that lets players play as their favorite heroes and villains. But, there's more to Marvel Future Fight than picking a hero since players also need to choose the right Artifact if they want to win the fight against evil.
7 Wolverine - The Immortal Warrior
Skill:
- Ageless Healing Lv.4
Players who want to clear a level successfully need to ensure their team stays alive, and while that's easy in the early stages of the game, the enemies are much stronger in the later stages. So, an effective Artifact to have, no matter the game mode, is Wolverine's Artifact since it can save a hero from dying.
And that's because as soon as a hero has less than 5% HP, the Artifact's skill activates, recovering 50% of their Max HP. And if Wolverine is part of the team, he'll recover an extra percentage of HP for each Total Instinct buff he has on. On top of that, using Wolverine's Artifact grants the user Guard Break immunity.
6 Gilgamesh - Roar of Valor
Skill:
- Forgotten Immortal Lv.4
Even though Gilgamesh isn't often regarded as one of the most powerful heroes since he lacks certain abilities that make him Superman-like, he's still one of the strongest Eternals in the MCU. Gilgamesh in Marvel Future Fight is a decent hero, especially if a player needs a tanky character. And that's because his Leadership skill (Ruthless Power) increases Basic Defense by +50%.
But, his Artifact is where his real strength as it recovers HP by 80%. Moreover, Roar of Valor also increases Max HP by 75% (an additional 0.1% for each Total Instinct buff). This Artifact has a cooldown time of 27 seconds, allowing players to heal their team constantly.
5 Hela - Blessing of Death
Skill:
- Infinite Death Lv.4
Hela is a powerful Support-type villain in Marvel Future Fight since most of her abilities buffs Attack and Dodge rating by a certain percentage (depends on villain level). But, players will need to include in their team a tank since Hela is quite squishy compared to other Support-type villains.
Despite having a long cooldown (180 seconds), Hela's Artifact can save an entire team in a pinch. That's because the Blessing of Death Artifact activates whenever a party member's HP reaches less than 5%, boosting their HP Recovery Rate by 50%. Players can increase their party's HP Recovery Rate the more Total Instincts the party has before activation.
4 Sersi - Vision of the Ancients
Skill:
- Eternal Resurrection Lv.4
Unfortunately, Sersi falls short of being a true Blast-type character due to her poor toolkit and because most of her Sersi's skills are limited to the other Eternals. But, players that have access to all the Eternals (Gilgamesh, Ikaris, Thena) will be able to breeze through most stages as they synergize better than other factions.
The good news is that her Artifact (Vision of the Ancients) is among the best ones in Marvel Future Fight since it can revive one party member at 50% of Max HP every 300 seconds. As players can expect, this skill can come in handy when facing boss-like enemies.
3 Heimdall - Vision of the Realms
Skill:
- Eye of the Universe Lv.4
Undoubtedly, Heimdall is one of the best Tank-type characters in Marvel Future Fight since he decreases all damage received by 25% and increases Dodge Rate by 35%. And players that equip the Asgard Invasion Uniform will allow Heimdal to remove any Debuff every 12 seconds. But, interestingly enough, Heimdal's Artifact doesn't boost a player team's Defense but instead increases their overall damage.
It increases basic damage dealt (20%) to any character in the Super Villain faction. Of course, most players forgo using Artifacts that are limited to a specific faction, but the Super Villain faction is among the most common ones in Marvel Strike Force, making it extremely useful.
2 Emma Frost - Diamond Queen
Skill:
- Diamond Enhancement Lv.4
Barriers and Shields are one of the most OP buffs in Marvel Future Fight as they can render most attacks useless. Veteran players tend to counter these buffs by using Speed-type characters since they can essentially defeat an enemy character before they're able to make a move.
But, of course, most players don't like using Speed-type characters since they're usually squishier than most. Fortunately, players can use Emma Frost's Artifact to reduce the amount of damage received (35%) while reflecting it to the attacker. On top of that, this Artifact also boosts the Max Attack by 0.5% per Total Instinct stack.
1 Scarlet Witch - Love and Chaos
Skill:
- Chaos Explosion Lv.4
Scarlet Witch is a must-have Universal-type character in Marvel Future Fight since she can heal herself and penetrate Super Armor, Barrier, Shield, and Invincible buffs. She can also buff her Energy Attacks, making her a well-rounded character similar to Doctor Strange or Adam Warlock.
But, her Artifact is what makes her shine as it increases damage dealt toward Super Heroes and Super Villains by 20%. And to top it all off, players can further increase this damage buff for every stack of Total Instinct, up to 200%. So, without any doubt, the Love and Chaos Artifact is the best Artifact to use in Marvel Future Fight.
Marvel Future Fight is now available for download on Android and iOS.
