Mister Fantastic's Primary Attack

Effective duelists require a strong primary attack, and Mister Fantastic's Stretch Punch delivers. While lacking a secondary attack, its versatility is surprising. This three-hit combo utilizes a single fist for the first two strikes, culminating in a powerful two-handed final blow.

The Stretch Punch's unique feature is its ability to deal damage along the entire length of the stretched arm, impacting all enemies in its path. This allows for potent area-of-effect damage using only the primary attack, similar to Storm's piercing Wind Blade.

Mister Fantastic's Abilities

Mister Fantastic possesses a range of powerful abilities, best explored in the training room. Each ability contributes to his passive, significantly boosting his damage output. A fully charged passive transforms him into a formidable force. Key stats to monitor include his health and Elasticity.

He starts with 350 health but utilizes shields, providing unexpected survivability for a duelist. Elasticity, displayed beneath the crosshair, is crucial. Each basic attack generates 5 Elasticity; aiming for 100 Elasticity as quickly as possible is key. His 3-star difficulty rating indicates a character challenging for beginners but easily mastered by experienced players.

Reflexive Rubber

• Active Ability
• 12-second duration

Mister Fantastic transforms into a rectangular shape, absorbing all incoming damage. Upon expiration, the stored damage is unleashed in a targeted attack.

Flexible Elongation

• Active Ability
• 3-second duration
• Generates 30 Elasticity

This ability provides a shield, boosting health from 350 to 425. It pulls Mister Fantastic towards the target, dealing damage to enemies or providing a shield to allies. This allows for strategic damage or support, and has two charges.

Distended Grip

• Active Ability
• 6-second duration
• Generates 30 Elasticity

Distended Grip allows Mister Fantastic to grapple a target, presenting three options: Dash (pulls him towards the target without a shield), Impact (deals damage to the grappled enemy), or a double grapple, slamming two enemies together for increased damage.

Wedded Harmony

• Team-Up Ability
• 20-second duration

This ability, only available with Invisible Woman on the team, heals Mister Fantastic for lost health (no shield granted).

Elastic Strength

• Passive Ability

Each ability used builds Elasticity, increasing damage output. At maximum Elasticity, Mister Fantastic transforms, gaining significant damage and a substantial shield. The shield decays before he reverts to his normal form, but a residual shield remains. Abilities are unavailable during this inflated state. Failing to deal damage causes Elasticity to decay.

Brainiac Bounce

• Ultimate Ability

Mister Fantastic leaps and crashes down, dealing area-of-effect damage, then bounces to repeat the attack multiple times. This is particularly effective against clustered enemies.

Tips for Playing Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic's damage mitigation and shield generation make him surprisingly tanky.

Flexible Reflection

Combining Flexible Elongation and Reflexive Rubber provides both shields for the user and an ally, allowing for immediate threat mitigation and subsequent damage release.

Rushing Reflexive Rubber

Using Reflexive Rubber strategically, even without needing to charge the passive, maximizes his inflated state's damage potential and objective presence. Stacking shields can result in a massive health pool, potentially exceeding 950.
