Is Kraven the Hunter Good in Marvel Strike Force

Kraven the Hunter is a very good character in Marvel Strike Force who hunts down his targets by flipping various positive effects throughout his actions. He can also apply Offense Down and other negative effects like Ability Block and Bleed with all of his attacks which can be devastating on the enemy team.

However, it is Kraven’s Charge mechanic which is the most important part of his kit. Indeed, for each Charge that he has, he will see his damage increase by a significant amount. This is put to devastating use when using his Special or Ultimate abilities, which expend all Charges at once to cause huge damage to opponents.

When Kraven is used in Cosmic Crucible you will see him performing at his full potential. In this game mode, he can apply Ability Block to Controller targets, completely neutering much of their utility. Additionally, he can also gain further Critical Chances against Supports and his attacks can reach up to four opponents, making him extremely effective against large groups of enemies.

Kraven the Hunter stands as a testament to the power and versatility of Brawler characters in Marvel Strike Force. His ability to inflict negative effects while dealing significant damage makes him a valuable asset to any team. Whether you’re conquering Cosmic Crucible, decimating opponents in Blitz, or dominating Alliance War, Kraven the Hunter is sure to prove himself as an indispensable weapon in your arsenal.

2. Special (Can’t Run, Can’t Hide) – The Special flips Immunity and applies Ability Block. You should look to max out this second after Kraven’s Passive.

Best Kraven the Hunter Team in Marvel Strike Force

The best team for Kraven the Hunter in Marvel Strike Force is without a doubt the Superior Six. Formed by Green Goblin (Classic), Lizard, Spider Slayer, and Doctor Octopus. This team works very well in Cosmic Crucible mode, but they will also perform well in Blitz and Alliance War. Below are the strengths of each member of the Superior Six team.

• Green Goblin (Classic): He is one of the biggest contributors to team bonuses in Cosmic Crucible with several effects that cannot be Dodged or Blocked.
• Lizard: He is the team’s Protector, responsible for keeping his teammates alive for longer. To do this, he has tools that can flip positive effects on enemies while spreading positive effects to his allies.
• Spider Slayer: He helps his team by granting Offense Up to allies who can deal the most damage. Additionally, you can grant Deflect and Defense Up to your allies and get assists on your attacks.
• Doctor Octopus: He is the team’s Legendary support, ensuring protection from negative effects for his team while disrupting enemies.

Since Kraven has the Sinister Six tag, he can also fit well into one of these teams. Ideally, in this team, he should replace characters with lower power or the main damage dealer.
