Is Ms. Marvel (Hard Light) Good in Marvel Strike Force?

Ms. Marvel (Hard Light) is a good protector in Marvel Strike Force who can perform well in different game modes. She is especially good in Arena where she can boost her max health by 50% with her passive ability. In addition, she can also flip taunt on the enemy team. 

Raid is also a good fit for her, as she can heal and apply barriers to her allies which allows them to continue fighting on the City nodes. In addition, the Secret Defender team can help you achieve good results in the Blitz game mode. Indeed, there’s no shortage of ways to use this good character.

Overall, however, it is her ability to apply Safeguard to Secret Defender allies in Arena with two of her abilities. That’s a great advantage for the team in this game mode.

Ms. Marvel (Hard Light) 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 Ms. Marvel’s (Hard Light) abilities:

1. Ultimate (Hard Light Slam) – This is the most important ability to upgrade with T4 materials. It will increase the damage and apply +1 Safeguard to self and Secret Defender allies. You will often use this ability on her first turn, so having Safeguard ready immediately is very valuable.
2. Passive (Superfan) – This is the second most important ability to upgrade with T4 materials. It will slightly increase the barrier and armor that Secret Defenders get. Additionally, only in Arena mode, this will raise the max health of Ms. Marvel (Hard Light). This will make your team much more durable and resilient.
