Mobile gacha RPGs will do anything to extract a little coin from as many players as possible. That's why, if you're trying to play for free, you'll want to follow along with this Marvel Strike Force tier list so you can spend your money wisely.
Though it won't seem like it early on, resources are sparse in this title. You won't have much trouble upgrading your heroes at the start, but when you start to reach the upper ranks, you'll need top-tier characters to stay competitive. And if you've managed to blow your upgrade materials on common, weaker characters, catching up will be hard.
It's also worth explaining that the different game modes available give a variety of heroes an opportunity to shine. While one character might be the best of the best in Arena, they might not hold up quite so well in Crucible.
For an overview, the best characters and teams in each mode are as follows:
- Arena - Apocalypse, Quicksilver, Big Time Spider-Man, Kang, Secret Defenders
- Crucible - Unlimited X-Men, Tangled Web, Apocalypse, Superior 6, Masters of Evil
- Raids - Invaders, Death Seed, Bifrost
- War Defence - New Avengers, PEGASUS, Infestation, Knowhere, Gamma
- War Offence - Out of Time, Knowhere, New Avengers, Gamma, Darkhold, Death Seed
How to get more Marvel Strike Force characters
Unlike a lot of other mobile games, you get new characters in Marvel Strike Force by collecting enough of a character's shards. These come from "orbs". It's just like how things work with the Cookie Run: Kingdom tier list, actually. One premium orb will cost you 450 power cores and provide you with a guaranteed amount of 15 character shards.
Once you have enough for the particular hero, you can recruit them in the 'roster' section of the menu. You can also select the 'find' option on characters in this menu in order to see which orb their shards are included in and how else you can get them.
Can you reroll in Marvel Strike Force?
The short answer is no. Marvel Strike Force doesn't give you a load of power cores when you start the game, so there's nothing to reroll for. However, you can collect free orbs every day to build up character shards, which should make for steady progress either way. While you earn them gradually that way, you can earn more characters through game modes like Arena, Raid, and Blitz as well.
