Most Marvel fans still recall the first time they playedMarvel Ultimate Alliancesince it was the first game to allow players to form a team of their favorite heroes and villains. And whileMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Orderdid improve on some features, likeadding Synergy Attacks, it still falls short of the originalUltimate Alliance.

Fortunately,Marvel’s Midnight Sunsgameplay and story have brought back all the fond memories of playingMarvel Ultimate Alliance. But, 2K’sMidnight Sunshas also introduced several unique gameplay mechanics that allow players to mold their own team. Players are also free to create unique Hero Decks, but one type of Card players must carefully choose is the Attack Cards. And with each hero having specific Attack Cards, players should learn which ones will help them throughout their playthrough ofMarvel’s Midnight Suns.
5Blood for Blood - Nico Minoru
Nico Minoru inMidnight Sunsproves to be a powerful support character that can still support her team with unique healing abilities (especially after Modding them). And while many of Nico Minoru Heroic Cards can wipe several enemies at once, her Attack Cards tend to be more effective in combat, especially Cruse (randomly applies Marked, Stun, Vulnerable, or Weak).
But, one of the best Attack Cards for Nico Minoru inMarvel’s Midnight Sunsis Blood for Blood, as it heals her or an ally upon KO’ing an enemy. Furthermore, players canupgrade this Attack Cardto increase its overall Damage (+200% Offense), guaranteeing a KO. But, to unlock that potential, players should complete Nico Minoru’s friendship quest inMidnight Suns
4Chain Strike - Spider-Man
InMidnight Suns,the Spider-Man Challengecan be quite difficult without the right guidance, but once completed players gain a powerful Heroic Card (Infernal Spider). And with that new Card, players can make the bestMidnight SunsSpider-Man build, but they’ll also need to include the Attack Card Chain Strike. And that’s because this Attack Card allows Spider-Man to target (and damage) 2 other enemy units if the initial one is KO’ed.
To top it off, players that upgrade the Attack Card to + will be able to attack 4 enemies instead of 2. This is an excellent Attack Card to quickly remove pesky minions from battles without having to sacrifice Heroism, which isquite scarce at the start of a battle. Undoubtedly, Spider-Man is one of the bestMidnight Sunscharacters, thanks to his amazing Heroic, Skill, and Attack Cards.
3Knee Strike - Captain Marvel
Despite beingclassified as a TankinMarvel’s Midnight Suns, Captain Marvel still can pack a punch, especially once she goes Binary. Nonetheless, players should use Captain Marvel primarily as a Tank since her Skill and Attack Cards are mostly defensive. And one effective Attack Card is Knee Strike, which Taunts an enemy and grants Captain Marvel Block (equal to the damage dealt).
While Knee Strike may not seem too powerful, it’s the perfect Attack Card to use during the early phases of a battle or if players need to distract an enemy unit from an injured hero. This Attack Card, allows players to create one of thebestMidnight SunsCaptain Marvel decks.
2Reaper - Blade
Midnight Suns’Blade and Carol portray a charming relationshipthat no Marvel fan was expecting, but on top of that sweet center, Blade is a ruthless vampire killer. And one of Blade’s signature attributes is inflicting massive DoT (damage over time) damage, thanks to his passive (10% chance to inflict Bleed on enemies). On top of that, most of his Skill, Heroic, and Attack Cards also inflict Bleed.
The only issue with Bleed is that it sometimes takes too long for an enemy to “bleed out,” which can be an issue if players need that particular enemy eliminated. That’s when the Reaper Attack Card comes into play, as it will activate the entire Bleed damage in one go. Without any doubt, Blade is a must-have hero on any team (not to mentionMidnight Suns’Blade hasone of the best skins in the game).
1Trap Door - Magik
A fun side mission players can start inMidnight Sunsis Magik’s birthday party, which is an excellent moment for players to get to know this unique magical being. One feature that makes Magik stand out is her ability to reposition enemies on the battlefield. Unfortunately,most new players make the mistakeof not taking full advantage of this unique skill.
Players can use this mechanism to position enemies closer together and unleash a powerful AOE attack or move them farther away from an injured ally. That’s why Trap Door is an essentialAttack Card to use in a Magik Decksince it allows players to move enemies without wasting Heroism. Undoubtedly, the ability to easily reposition an enemy is what makes this Attack Card one of the best ones inMarvel’s Midnight Suns.
Marvel’s Midnight Sunsis available now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
