S Tier: Best Characters in Mystic Mayhem
These are the characters you want to get your hands on if you can. They're the best of the best right now, and it's very worth it to spend resources on them.
Captain America
He embodies what a true leader should be—supportive, strong, and reliable. He excels at buffing his teammates, boosting their performance while staying on the frontlines. With high mobility, fast attack speed, and solid durability, he can both dish out and withstand damage effectively. It’s no surprise that he’s a popular pick in high-rank raids, consistently topping the charts.
Doctor Strange
Strange is your top healer. His Vishanti's Blessing skill is amazing because you get to pick between healing, buffing, or weakening enemies. Whatever your team needs, he's got it. His special move heals more than almost any other character in the game. You literally can't go wrong with him.
Emma Frost
She is like having two characters in one. She heals your team, boosts their damage, damages enemies, and weakens them all at the same time. People actually think she's too strong right now. Her Diamond Shard attack makes your whole team hit harder. If you unlock her, your battles get way easier.
Iron Man
Iron Man hits hard and moves around the battlefield with ease. His passive skill lets him ignore enemy defenses, which is huge. His ultimate move deals crazy damage in a wide area. He's the best choice if you want to blow up multiple enemies at once.
Scarlet Witch
She destroys single targets like nothing else. Her ultimate is one of the biggest damage hits in the entire game. The only problem? She needs buffs first to reach her full potential, and she doesn't have much health.
Juggernaut
Juggy takes time to build up, but he's worth it. As you upgrade his skills, he gets a taunt ability that forces enemies to attack him instead of your team. When fully leveled, he can be the best tank in the game.
Thor
The God of Thunder deals massive area damage with his ult and his chain lightning skill. His dash move hits hard while letting him jump around quickly. If you're lucky enough to pull him, make him your main fighter.
Echo
Echo can copy the attack value of whoever on your team hits the hardest. This means she can tank damage while still dealing huge numbers. Her follow-up attacks on debuffed enemies give you free damage.
Invisible Woman
She shields and hides your teammates. When enemies are weakened by her, your team's ultimate moves do way more damage. Pair her with Thor or Iron Man for devastating attacks.
Silver Surfer
Silver Surfer shares many similarities with Iron Man, but instead of Physical Damage, he focuses on Special Damage. His AoE abilities are incredibly powerful, allowing him to wipe out groups of enemies with ease. What truly sets him apart is his passive skill, which can stack up to four times after using abilities.
A Tier: Really Good Characters
These heroes are still fantastic. They just fall a tiny bit short of the S Tier crew.
Hulk
Hulk is Hulk, and he’s just great. He can really tank, and still deals solid hits himself. He's not quite as good at protecting the team as Armor though.
Armor
Armor is an excellent starting tank who could help you clear many missions. Her Beast Armor skill boosts her attack speed and makes regular attacks hit everything around her. Mix that with her Ancestral Armor shield, and she becomes practically impossible to kill. She protects your team while still dealing damage.
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker is the go-to healer for F2P players. His healing output is surprisingly strong for a basic character, making him a reliable support option early on. He’s definitely worth investing in, especially if you don’t have access to premium healers yet.
Psylocke
Psylocke is a speed demon. She zips around, dealing burst damage and marks enemies. When she hits marked targets with normal attacks, they blow up for extra damage. With critical damage items, she becomes a threat on every team.
Loki
Loki can deal good damage and freeze enemies. He summons a unit that taunts for you. But he doesn't heal or shield like real controllers should, so he drops down to A Tier.
Angela
She stacks up incoming damage, and the more she blocks, the better her counterattacks hit back. She's a tough defender who can still hurt enemies.
Lady Bullseye
Lady Bullseye is perfect for beginners and stays useful forever. When you team her up with Spider-Man or Psylocke, they all keep attacking in a chain reaction. Even without help, she handles every role she's supposed to do flawlessly.
Namor
Namor is a fantastic addition to any team composition. His overall damage output is impressive, and his ability to shield teammates adds extra survivability to the squad. On top of that, his capability to ignore enemy shields gives him a huge advantage against defensive enemies.
B Tier: Not That Great
These characters work best when stronger heroes are carrying the load.
Black Knight
becomes a monster when you pair him with controllers who buff him. His basic attacks hit incredibly hard with the right setup. However, his overall damage is lacking if compared to other Fighters.
Moon Knight
He buffs attack speed for himself and nearby teammates by 30%. His ultimate heals for half his max health, which is pretty clutch. He just doesn't hit as hard as other fighters should.
Thread
Thread is your summon specialist. He calls out multiple Threadlings that keep attacking and could buff all the summons in your team. If you're building a summon-focused team, he's the one you want in the team.
Spider-Man
Spidey throws webs everywhere and slows enemies down for 8 whole seconds. He also boosts nearby teammates. However, compared to the other Controllers, his kit is just not that great.
Storm
She specializes in keeping enemies weak instead of dealing damage as a Striker should. She can freeze and soak enemies at the same time, making them hit way weaker and move slower. She's decent with the right team, but needs teammates who can clean up the kills.
C Tier: Don’t Waste Time On Them
These characters need a lot of help to be useful.
Man-Thing
Man-Thing heals and weakens enemies, but his heal is weaker than Doctor Strange's. His summon has super low health, so it doesn't help much without other strong characters around.
Mister Negative
He only hits hard when enemies are already weakened. Without debuffs on them, his damage is pretty sad for a fighter.
Falcon
Falcon buffs your team's defense and can move fast. But he doesn't heal, doesn't deal damage, and can't take hits. You really need other strong characters to make him work.
The tier list changes as the game gets updated and new strategies come out. Right now, this is what works best. As you get more characters, try mixing teams and see what clicks for you. The game is way more fun when you experiment and find teams that work with how you like to play.
