Synergies?

SupremeChefGio

Im probably beating a dead horse, but is there any official synergies in the game, or will they ever be introduced. It would help with constructing a proper team of toons to use for battles.

Or is there some unofficial synergy mapping i can use to find a great team to use?

What do you mean by "official" synergies.  There are lots of great pairings (e.g. 5* Thor + okoye, or kitty pryde + 4* rocket & Groot).  And also some characters that have powers that change based on team composition (e.g., 5* Prof X, or 5* iron Man).

It's a bit hard to get much more specific without more info about your situation.  But the strategies/guides sub-forum here is probably a good place to start.

This is a pretty vague ask - there are a few characters with explicit synergy (4* Rocket + any other Guardian of the Galaxy), lots more with implicit synergy you may not expect from the fiction (5* Thanos + 5* Black Panther). Not sure that's what you're after, but the "latest fun team" thread also has a lot of great team suggestions.

Rocket and groot with guardians of the galaxy synergy.  5* iron man with team IM synergy (more damage on red), 5* cap AP generation for team cap.  5* Professor X win X-men (reduced damage)synergy, Kitty Pride X-men synergy (less tiles needed)

Each character is assigned something and I want to say there used to be a specific fantastic 4 synergy with Mr F or IW at one point in time as well.

i want to say a couple characters also does extra damage to hero’s or villains

4* Fist and 4* Cage have official synergy. It would be nice to see it implemented in that way more often.

JHawkInc

There are a few here and there (a few X-Men, 4* Cage/Fist, 4* Rocket & Groot, 5* Iron Man, etc), but nothing like other games (where you could get team bonuses for pairing characters like Cap with Falcon/Bucky, or Iron Man with War Machine or Rescue, or bonuses for building classic teams like the Fantastic Four or West Coast Avengers regardless of who you use to do so).

It's decently common for characters to work together anyways, though. 4* Black Panther works well with Shuri, War Machine pairs with 4* Captain Marvel, Spider-Verse characters that use Web Tiles work well together, etc. But I don't know of any guides that explicitly point out these types of pairings.

The best synergy is to quit the game, save your time and money.

All gains, no loss.

I think 4* Deadpool's purple was designed to work well with 4* Wolverine's Black. Remember D3 talking about using them together when Deadpool was released.

Yeah, Mister Fantastic used to have Fantastic 4 synergy. Hilariously, this included Bag-Man.

Im not sure if you're familiar with Marvel Strike Force at all, but the toons in those games have synergies that provide a little boost for other toons. I guess its more of a feature request im looking for as well, but something in-game that shows you that these toons mesh well. Like a having JJ, Luke Cage, & Iron Fist and / or DD as your covers gives you some sort of Defenders synergy that boosts something slight. (different from supports)

If it still doesn't make sense, it's because im really not good at explaining things, but i hope most of you get the gist of it.

ThaRoadWarrior

Affiliations is a really under-used potential mechanic, and there are several characters who are bafflingly affiliated (Noted Sinister 6 villain Mysterio only has "heroes" in his list for one)


I'm not sure I like the explicit synergy of 4* Cage and Fist as much as the obvious power synergy you get from 3* Cage and Fist. It often feels like explicit synergy makes us feel like if you take one, you have to take the other (It's way less common to see a G4mora in the wild without 4ocket than the reverse, even though her stun is awesome and her red is also good). It's always a bummer when the boost lists don't align on the pair in those cases as well.

Yeah, MPQ doesn't really have that.

Yeah, it makes total sense. Most Marvel games have team bonus - something that has been used in them since Ultimate Alliance.

Using established teams provide a boost to the base stats and power interaction.

This game doesn't do anything like that though. It's most probably due to the forced featured characters in events. Your only really choosing two characters most of the time.

No there is not. 

There are not that many real synergies, a good example is for example 5 Prof X and his black, another one would be Rocket and his strike tiles, but there are not that many. 

Nothing remotely similar to MSF.

ThaRoadWarrior

It does, but not consistently. As referenced above, there are certain characters that benefit on certain of their powers for having affiliated characters on roster with them.

•  4* Luke Cage: check his yellow description 
• 4* Iron Fist: look at green description 
• 4* Rocket & Groot: check yellow description 
• 5* Kitty Pryde: check yellow description 
• 5* Professor X: check black description 
• 5* Iron Man: check red 
• 5* First Avenger Cap: check red 
• 4* Spider Ham: check blue for reverse synergy 

There's probably one or two others, but those are the ones I found with a quick browse. there are a few other characters that are sort of outliers here, like all the Spider-family characters that are linked by their creation and usage of web tiles. There's no explicit (written into the power) synergy there, but they all share web creation and want web-flooded boards generally.

There are also some unintentional synergies.  As mentioned are Kitty Pride and 4* Rocket and Groot.  Some lower tier ones are 3* Black Widow, Scarlett Witch, and 4* Professor X.  4*Kingpin and Scarlet Witch also work well together as there's always a CD present to use for his black.

IM40 and Lady Thor are also a good team.

JDFiend

I think they are talking about team bonus like this :-

As I said above, it be hard for MPQ to do it, due to the essentials. 

Might have been a good way to promote variety in PVP if the bonuses were good enough. 

Different bonusea for SW depending on if you support her with avengers, x-men, her family, magic users... Ect.

The funny thing, is that Kitty has actually been a Guardian of the Galaxy, and she was in a relationship with StarLord, so it could potentially be an intended synergy (in fact I thought she had the tag of GotG and that Rocket was creating the biffy strikes :P)

Could you imagine if Kitty had a GotG tag?  SUPERGRITTY

What would that be, like one turn faster?

That would make PVE even crazier.  One turn faster times 9 matches at opening and at final grind per sub?
