Is Darkhawk Good in Marvel Strike Force

Darkhawk is a fantastic character in Marvel Strike Force who excels in Raid Tech nodes with several benefits that make him stand out. Perhaps most prominent is his ability to spread negative effects to enemies while also giving Offense Up to allies. This can help him and his team deal more damage while debilitating their foes. In addition, his passive ability allows him and his allies to heal whenever they score a critical hit.

His utility gets even better when in a P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Team with the chance to distribute extra Ability Energy, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Counterattack to his allies. In addition, he can fill his and his P.E.G.A.S.U.S. allies’ Speed Bar in Raids. This can make them act faster and more frequently than their enemies. Additionally, he can reduce the Speed Bar and Critical Bar of enemies.

Darkhawk T4 priority

T4 materials are rare and valuable resources that can be used to upgrade your character’s abilities to their max level. However, not all abilities are worth upgrading with T4 materials. Here are the T4 priorities for Darkhawk’s abilities:

1. Passive (Bird of Prey) – Max out this ability first to maximize its Critical Damage. His passive heals him and his allies on every critical hit, so focus on these attributes.
2. Ultimate (Dark Flurry) – Offense Up significantly increases this skill’s damage and now applies two turns of Offense Up to all PEGASUS allies.
3. Special (Raptor Beam) – Investing in this ability at T4 is important. It now spreads negative effects to adjacent enemies and grants allies Offense Up for two turns on self and Tech allies.

Darkhawk ISO-8

The best ISO-8 class for Darkhawk is Raider. This class gives Darkhawk a chance to apply a Vulnerable debuff to enemies whenever he crits. It also gives him extra Crit Damage and Crit Chance, which can boost his damage potential. Along with his innate extra-critical bonus, this class is the most impactful for him.

Best Darkhawk Team in Marvel Strike Force

Darkhawk excels alongside Tech allies and achieves peak performance with the P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Team. This formidable squad is perfect for Raids and comprises the following members:

• Iron Man (Infinity War): Iron Man’s area attacks benefit greatly from Darkhawk’s bonuses, and he can spread positive effects to other allies. In Raids, he reduces the resistance of enemies who are Vulnerable from any source.
• Rescue: She is the team’s healer and buffer. Her special ability provides Barrier and Regeneration to all allies while also cleansing negative effects from Tech allies.
• Kestrel: She can stop enemies from summoning. She also boosts focus and resistance for P.E.G.A.S.U.S. allies. In addition, she excels at inflicting Defense Down on enemies and capitalizing on it.
• Ironheart (MK II): She uses Immunity, Deflect, and generates ability energy for her allies upon spawning. Moreover, during Raids, she not only boosts allies’ Speed Bars but also inflicts Trauma, Stun, and Defense Down.

The P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Team dominates in Raids, particularly Tech nodes in Incursion Raids. They deliver substantial damage, offer robust buffs, provide consistent healing, and maintain effective control over the enemy team. Moreover, their synergy is exceptional.
