Best Characters in Marvel Cosmic Invasion
Cosmic Ghost Rider
Cosmic Ghost Rider dominates every situation. He can fire 10 projectiles, giving him the strongest long-range option in the game. The chain pull ability drags distant enemies directly to you for immediate follow-ups, controlling enemy positioning. The Ghost Rider move clears entire screens while dealing massive damage. No other character handles every combat scenario this effectively without requiring teammate support.
Silver Surfer
Silver Surfer is probably the fastest character in the game. His aerial attacks completely dominate flying enemies. The melee range extends surprisingly far. The parry mechanic adds cosmic damage to counterattacks. You must complete the Fort Galactus mission to unlock him, but his performance justifies the wait.
Phyla-Vell
Phyla-Vell moves around battlefields with devastating slash attacks that reposition you instantly. The mobility lets you escape danger while maintaining offensive pressure constantly. The special attack reaches almost the entire screen, making it one of the most reliable clearing tools available. She requires unlocking through story progression but becomes immediately powerful once obtained. Her speed and damage output make her perfect for aggressive players.
Phoenix
Phoenix controls crowds better than anyone. The special attack devastates grouped enemies with fire damage that covers a lot of area. Her psychic grab tosses enemies from distance, controlling positioning without entering melee range. The Phoenix Force passive infuses air and sprint attacks with fire. Multiple moves provide crowd control through knockback and stunning effects.
A Tier Characters
| Character | Strengths |
|---|---|
| Captain America | Unlimited shield throws, decent movement speed |
| Wolverine | Best melee combos, healing factor regeneration, crowd control (knock backs and can grab+throw) |
| Black Panther | Fast movement, poison daggers, quick attack chains |
| Venom | Wrecking ball destroys flyers, grab and slam |
B Tier Characters
B Tier characters excel in specific roles but have clear limitations:
| Character | Strengths |
|---|---|
| Storm | Full-screen special, excellent mobility |
| Nova | Overall balanced character |
| Iron Man | Decent crowd control, area damage |
| She-Hulk | Good damage |
C Tier Characters
C Tier characters require significantly more effort for similar results
| Character | Strengths |
|---|---|
| Spider-Man | Fast movement |
| Beta Ray Bill | - |
| Rocket Raccoon | Decent Range |
Focus on S and A Tier characters for the smoothest experience. Cosmic Ghost Rider handles everything without weaknesses, while Silver Surfer and Phyla-Vell dominate through speed and mobility. Phoenix controls crowds effortlessly. A Tier options like Captain America and Wolverine work excellently with proper teammate pairing to cover their limitations.
