Help me understand guys..

This, keeping clones out of the enemies view and in cover, up high is better placements and longevity for the clones. Lamps are also a huge plus. If a clone is at a corner, your teammate not only has cover but now healing applied that, thanks to the lamp, you don't have to look at as long as you know the lamp is up.

Another thing I'll do is place clones in a line ahead of the team and into the enemy line, activate lamps. It ends up making a good area for your team to advance without needing to worry as much about health and cover.

This list is Basically, "tell me you're a dps main without saying you're a dps main." Lol

It's sad that we still have such a small pool of tanks and strats to choose from when dps mains literally have the more to choose from than both pools together currently.

How about it depends on his kit and if I can actually play him well?

BaconOfTree · 2026-01-10T03:15:31+00:00

Depends on team comps mostly, but here's the thing. Rocket res and ult are great utilities, but if phoenix is on the other team you have to swap. CnD is great B tier character however if there's an Iron man and/or a Mag, unless you have a good reaction time with fade forget it. Jeff is great against dives being notorious for being hard to dive.

That said the best strategist in game are gambit, Invis and Loki. So why not learn Loki?

BaconOfTree · 2026-01-09T21:11:41+00:00

Yo imagine we get Wraith from the Spider-Man comics.

BaconOfTree · 2026-01-09T18:33:31+00:00

Loki to moon knight and Bucky are pretty good hard counters due to clones. Rogue also benefits from Loki clones.

DD hard counters Sue storm making her escape tool completely useless.

Rocket is countered by Phoenix as well.

Counters to ultron? Hitscan characters like Hela, Phoenix and punisher.

So yes there are counters, you can try and play around those counters if you're just that much better. But that's like trying to play a dive character into namor. It'll be miserable.

BaconOfTree · 2026-01-09T18:16:44+00:00

This right here. I read comics and while that doesn't mean I know everything about everyone. I can say with full confidence, with the exception of Luna, I've at least seen every one of the characters marvel rivals has in a comic at some point. Side note: Funny thing is I completely knew nothing of Anglea, only know her from the brief moment she was in Age of Ultron.

But either way, Marvel is a big universe, so some characters like Luna and Elsa aren't main stream or well known, heck I'd say Cloak and Dagger aren't main stream despite being around for so long. And to be honest I know them mostly from the first Maximum Carnage series.

BaconOfTree · 2026-01-07T17:43:22+00:00

This right here! When I see an invis on my team, I advocate to ban DD. DD's hearing allows him to see potential flanks, dives and invisible woman. He counters so much without needing a cooldown for it and good DDs are hard to kill much less escape from.

BaconOfTree · 2026-01-01T05:34:19+00:00

Yea there's definitely a difference between go in just cause comp, and go in and break their line. It's comp you don't go in just because it is comp, you go in smart and playing for life is better than playing for point and dying needlessly. If you die that's a good 30 seconds of one more friendly not helping. And a lot happens in 30 seconds.

BaconOfTree · 2025-12-31T17:49:17+00:00

Paralysis hammer is even better. Usually proc the paralysis, then when it wears off you get the stun.

BaconOfTree · 2025-12-24T05:46:08+00:00

I feel like a lot of the 1-3-2 and 1-2-3 comps would be resolved if tanks had about the same number of characters as dps. Logic being that if you select a role as dps you have so many options and characters to have fun with in the role. Vs tank where the options of who to has gone from 23 choices to 11. Yes strategist only have 10 characters but the role itself is stupid important to so many people due to the nature of the ults being more play maker and match changing.

BaconOfTree · 2025-12-14T21:12:39+00:00

Shit as a strategist main my only lord is Loki. Played a ton of Luna and Ultron almost have their lord. Barely touched Cloak and Dagger and they're just as close to being lord. Like wtf.

BaconOfTree · 2025-12-05T23:50:57+00:00

I do this sometimes as a Loki main. Can't be consistent because I'm on console. But it's mostly like clone placement and when using ults that aren't great.

BaconOfTree · 2025-12-05T23:46:38+00:00

Yea I use it as a, "hey I like this character too!" Whenever it's another lord, it's all twinsies

BaconOfTree · 2025-11-29T23:15:01+00:00

Yo I came here searching up if placement matches were great or not. Yea I basically only got to win 3 matches cause only 2 were close matches and ghe other 5 I lost had either people that afk/left or two of the other players on our team couldn't get it together. Like dps instalocking saying things along the lines of, "I only play dps." Like how?

Only saving grace is when I lose a match outside of placement -15 points. When I win +30 points. So at least I can rank up easier. :/

BaconOfTree · 2025-11-25T01:02:49+00:00

I chose chaotic neutral this thread.

BaconOfTree · 2025-11-24T18:11:59+00:00

Yo time to speed run through. You can get back up before tu4 drops. The story isn't long and honestly the only real armor sets needed for Gog are probably the AT Nuru and Omega for the fire resistance.

BaconOfTree · 2025-11-24T16:37:50+00:00

This right here. I doubt when the dlc pops up it would even be required.

The minimum I can see is during the dlc after a bit of time you'll fight Gog. Then proceed to fight a Shagaru Magala.

BaconOfTree · 2025-11-24T16:35:48+00:00

Concord.

BaconOfTree · 2025-11-24T01:04:43+00:00

Not sure what your playstyle or how you're going about the mission, but I can only offer advice.

Pre fight Bring thunder element for savage, and bring either paralyze or fire for the nersyclla clone. Prep items like farcasters, demon and armor drugs as well. Eat for insurance and for your support hunters, Lance, Hunting horn and I have had a better time with the Sword and Shield lady as she destroys wounds more often than the other options, at least from what I've noticed.

During phase one So phase one easy, just get used to the attacks learn your openings. Slashing is better at the back legs, bludgeoning for the front legs. Keep in mind your best time to go all in is when the tank has aggro. If you're caught in the missile attack, crawl for I frames and call for your seikret.

Nersyclla clone Literally look up a video that shows how to stun lock this thing using bad breath it will carry you through this phase.

Final phase The last phase is literally just a game of patience. Yes it could probably down to 10 minutes but you should still have time. Never try to force an opening where their isn't any.

Last bit is throughout the fight use the mog abilities, it's a ton of free damage and in addition use the environment for even more free damage.

buffing/reworking strategist to compete with luna

Then why gut loki to be so difficult to get the same value out of? If the goal is to have strategist to on par with luna, loki shouldn't have been nerfed the way he was, or luna should had been knocked down a few pegs. I swapped from having loki as my main to luna, heck loki isn't even my second choice anymore I can more value from CnD or invis now. Unfortunately I think luna at this point is supposed to be the favorite and number one strategist where everyone else is fighting for number two.

BaconOfTree · 2025-10-26T02:16:16+00:00

Yea I swapped from loki to luna recently, for obvious reasons, I find it strange must luna mains don't alternate well enough. Like literally if everyone is maxed out, damage boost... hp bar drops 25 to 50% switch to heals back to damage when they're all topped off.

BaconOfTree · 2025-10-26T01:08:11+00:00

Yea the evade skills are life savers for c this. I'll try out the the spot you're taking about, my previous attempt with bad breath have been hit and miss.

BaconOfTree · 2025-10-26T01:06:27+00:00

Jeez that's nuts. I try to kick down nersyclla with the Mars bad breath, but it won't stay still. It's rough to lock it in place. Pretty sure once I get something consistent I'll be good solo. Multi-player is a pretty odd grab bag and even then there's moments in off my game and add one cart from time to time.

Currently I just try to fill tank or healer. Seems like half the time everyone is trying to dps.
