1. Passive (Merlin’s Champion) – Black Knight’s passive grants extra Charge and a boost to the Speed Bar the first time Black Knight runs out of Charged.
2. Special (None Shall Pass) – Black Knight’s special ability should be your second option for T4. This will apply Immunity to self, an extra ally, and all Out of Time allies.

Black Knight ISO-8

Black Knight performs in the role of Fortifier masterfully and is ideal for maximizing his supportive role. His passive grants consistent barrier generation, bolstering team survivability. Another viable option is Striker which boosts his piercing damage, capitalizing on his high armor for additional punch.

Best Black Knight Team in Marvel Strike Force

Black Knight’s power shines in Arena, where he helps the most powerful characters to dominate the ranks. For everything else, he forms a particularly strong partnership with the Out of Time Marvel Strike Force Team. This team has powerful heroes like Captain Carter, Captain America, Cosmic Ghost Rider, and Starbrand. Here are some of their highlights: 

• Captain Carter: High damage potential, multi-target attacks, and fast cooldowns make her an extremely versatile and offensive character.
• Captain America: Excels at protecting allies, can remove negative effects, generates skill energy, and protects his team, he is also capable of some damage while granting speed and increasing health.
• Cosmic Ghost Rider: Each of his abilities deals more damage the more buffs the enemy has. Additionally, he can manipulate combat with stuns.
• Starbrand: He has a high damage stat and the ability to deal more crit for each Out of Time ally in the squad. He can also apply negative effects on enemies.
