Who Are the New Heroes?

The initial additions are Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, bringing unique support and combat roles to the game. Thing (tank) and Human Torch (duelist) will join the roster later, completing the Fantastic Four team-up. This team-up synergistically boosts Invisible Woman's healing and grants Mister Fantastic a rapid health regeneration ability.

Invisible Woman

A welcome addition to the relatively small selection of support characters, Invisible Woman offers diverse gameplay options.

Her attacks pierce multiple targets, damaging enemies while simultaneously healing allies – highly effective in crowd control. However, her limited range necessitates close proximity to teammates.

Invisible Woman's invisibility is a situational advantage. Achieved by abstaining from actions (abilities, attacks, and receiving damage) for six seconds, it's a lengthy process, making it primarily useful for healing during brief periods. A more practical invisibility tactic is her double jump, providing a crucial escape mechanism.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield for an ally, best utilized for protecting duelists and strategically repositioned to aid injured teammates due to its area-of-effect healing.

She can both attract and repel opponents. Repelling serves primarily as self-defense, particularly before evasive maneuvers. Attracting assists allies in engaging enemies.

Invisible Woman's sphere attack pulls opponents into its area of effect, dealing damage. This proves exceptionally useful for controlling chokepoints and inflicting area-of-effect damage.

While a three-hit melee combo pushes enemies away, it's generally less effective than her repelling ability or double jump escape.

Her ultimate creates a healing and invisibility zone for her team. However, its stationary nature makes it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.

Invisible Woman provides a balanced support role, comparable in effectiveness to Luna Snow and Mantis, offering tactical depth and team support.

Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic's unique abilities make him a compelling and entertaining character.

His medium-range attacks can hit multiple targets if aimed correctly.

Using abilities and attacks fills a meter, triggering a powerful inflated form with increased damage and durability.

His "Shift" ability temporarily absorbs damage, releasing it as a powerful shot.

He can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield (for allies) or inflicting damage (on enemies).

His right-click immobilizes enemies, allowing for follow-up attacks or combined throws.

His ultimate is an area-of-effect attack that slows enemies and repeats if at least one is hit, similar to Bucky's ultimate, but often less impactful.

Mister Fantastic blends duelist and tank capabilities, offering strong performance, though not quite reaching the top tier heroes.

Both heroes offer unique and well-designed gameplay experiences, showcasing the developers' commitment to creating distinct characters. The anticipation for Thing and Human Torch is high!
