As someone who just recently got into MC, I have been going through the cards in release order. I just got to the Guardians and it was odd seeing them in the back since I really enjoyed my play with Groot and Rocket. After seeing this list, I'm definitely quite excited to get further in and also to play Ironheart and Ham! It's cool that Ironheart got you to enjoy building with Tony again :)
Welcome to Marvel Champions, and hope you're having fun!! :) Rocket probably deserves higher on the list, as I've found him really solid, especially for Justice with me ... but ... I'm just not a fan of the Guardians in general.
I love that your list is based on your connection to each character and your urge to play with them and not "power" level. it makes for a fun list. mine would be very different. will have to think about it.
Loved the update! I haven’t played all of the heroes because there are SO many to choose from(not a bad problem to have). I think my personal favorite to play is Thor using the “Party Thor” aggression build. That’s where you use TONS of Looking For Trouble and then Bring It! to build up the board full of minions--then clear it with his lightning ⚡️ AOE. This quickly fills up that Hall of Heroes card and it just gets him hilariously huge hand sizes. So. Satisfying. Oh and I LOVE using Get Over Here! with Thor. Very thematic. After that I think I enjoy Captain America, he could play no upgrade or build cards the entire game and he’s so solid it just makes him a joy to play as. After those two I would choose Black Widow just because canceling the villain’s turn is so satisfying. Never get sick of it. Then it’s the Hulk as a 4th because I use a combo of Blade\Bug\Tigra, aka: “Blugra” with some weapons and keep them all alive the entire game by tanking it with Hulk’s high health. I would give a special nod to Iron Man, who is my favorite marvel hero after Daredevil. I rarely use him because his suite is so powerful that once built, the game just ends abruptly.
Thanks, Dale! I always love these videos, even just as something to listen to while I walk my dog or something. It’s fun to see old heroes rise and fall on your list, too, although you did my boy Drax dirty!
Valkyrie is my bottom hero, I love Drax though, the vengeance counters are a fun mechanism to me. Basically what Hulk should have been. There's a lot of hero that don't excite me much: Vision, Groot, Thor, Spectrum, Adam Warlock. But that's why I like Star Lord, a bit of risk :D
Nice Video! My top 5 is a lot different than yours, but I like your perspective! My top 5(I like protection and leadership): 1. Black Widow 2. Spider Man (Peter Parker) 3. Vision 4. Groot 5. SP//DR
I always enjoy your thoughts on the heroes! I've always loved Iron Man I really enjoy the building in this game so iron heart has been great for me too! But I've REALLY been enjoying sp//dr. She has been my go too lately. I still have Groot as my very last place, I can't seem to ever enjoy him no matter how I try. Looking forward to see if Captain America ever loses the throne to any of the xmen!! Have fun playing!
Love it. Interesting to see your take. Agreed with choice of Cap, he’s a lot of fun to play. It’s great they are still putting out such good quality content. The mark of a good game is one that’s fun even if you get beaten - just been absolutely destroyed by ultron vs shehulk/scarlet witch. Shock and awe. Rematch imminent.
Firstly huge kudos for setting up the Uber Stax and actually getting the cards out there. Fie unto anyone who uses that lame software hack. Show your work is what I say! I think you have Nova low but maybe that’s because I have him in the midst of a champions test match as a support. Vision a wee bit higher because I have an insane (P) deck. Aside from that I kinda agree with your ranking. I don’t “get” Antman and everyone else does. That’s on me. Penny I can’t rank but I have to admit I’m warming to the mechanic.
This is great content for all standard of players to compare all the heroes. It's scary to see all 35 heroes in one shot especially as I have a deck made for all of them. That's a lot of content for the game now.
Good stuff as always, Dale! While she’s not my fave hero, I’ve been enjoying playing Wasp lately - in all aspects. Someone has to populate the back row tho’, just wondering why she’s of no interest to you? Black Widow is definitely my fave, with all her upgrades, haha! So many heroes to play and so little time! 🤓
This game sat on my shelf for a year. Then I decided to get the Sinister Motives Campaign. Ghost Spider and that whole box drew me right in. Bought everything after that. I was surprised how much I liked GMW after hearing the reviews. I also don't care about the Guardians much but really enjoyed all of them with Rocket being in my top 5 heroes. Thanks for the video!
I differ greatly on many characters. That's a good thing, shows the diversity of the characters. I rarely go to StarLord unless I am playing one character Solo because of those encounter cards!
I am glad to see you are still enjoying this game after all the expansions and chararcter additions. I took a break from it but still watch your playthroughs to see which packs I might be interested in the future.
Great video Dale! I don't have all the heroes yet but I recently picked up Nebula. I have been playing her alongside Gamora and using their Daughters of Thanos team-up card and you can draw 5 extra cards once setup using their Alter ego abilities then flipping to hero. They took down expert Crossbones fairly convincingly last night. Venom is probably my favorite hero overall.
Thanks for the video! Definitely agree with the 2 top tier rows. Others heroes, still ahving to experiment with them before have a personal list. I tried several heroes only with the precon deck.
@@DaletheCasualGamer I usually try the precon against Rhino and Klaw in order to try the cards. Anyway, in the last months I focused my attention to few heroes, so for example haven;t even started to deck building with Scarlet Witch or Gamora...
I agree with many of your choices, maybe I value Black Panther a little higher, in other side I don't know how to play Black Widow at all. With the new heroes, SP//DR is not giving me any fun for now, Pig is funny, Miles is classy, Ghost-Spider and Ironheart are my all time fav, Nova have moments. My top 7 is: 1. Spider-Man Peter Parker (with web-warrior upgrade and web-warrior cards is super fun to play) 2. Ghost-Spider (She's so unique to play but I love resolving this puzzle, absolutely one of my favorite characters to play) 3. Captain Marvel (my first love - drop a little bit because she's not web-warrior so she went a little aside, and s.h.i.e.l.d. is boring) 4. Ironheart (upgrading her to the next versions gives so much satisfaction) 5. Captain America and Dr Strange (they change places all the time, so I put both, I can't decide, they are both super strong and they will pass every scenario) 7. Spider-man Miles Morales (the most classic web-warrior, very powerful) Thank you for your movies!
Great video Dale, thanks! I do share your enthusiasm for Ironheart, but I think she'll drop eventually cause of lack of variety. I always play the same way with her, same goes for spider suit.
Cap and Venom switch from 1st and 2nd for me as well. Justice and Aggression player as well, but I do enjoy running cap with protection if I run protection.
My top 5 favorites to play, in rough order of preference: Spider-Ham, Rocket Raccoon, Ironheart, Spider-Man (Miles), Star-Lord Honorable Mentions: Venom, Nova, Spider-Man (Peter), Drax, Ant-Man I know that both Cpt. America and Dr. Strange are considered to be the most powerful hero decks in the game overall but, other than just basking in their sheer power level, I find that I don't enjoy playing them all that much.
Good ranking system. I haven't had a chance to play war machine yet but after seeing you play him alot he is definitely on my list to get next. I loved Thor but can't help but feel that he would be much higher on your list if not for that hand size of four.
Okay Gamora and Rocket I can understand. But you did not have to Drax dirty like that lol. He absolutely carried the whole campaign with my expert run of Sinister Motives. Absolute beast and tank when built in protection. Had games where I didn’t flip down to AE at all. Easy top 5 for me. Still a good video though Dale. Keep it up.
@Quintonator75 Haha!! I figured the Guardians could take the hit filling in the back row. ;) I probably should have swapped him with Valkyrie ... he is my favorite of the Guardians (from the movies). Cool to hear is is in your top 5!! :)
Great list! I like that I have a really clear idea of your playstyle after watching. I've also really been enjoying Sp//Dr, Spider Ham, and Ironheart! But I think I generally like the Guardians more than you do, although I thought Groot was a bit of a dud
Nice Personal list! I like this video on telling what your favorite “ice cream” is 😉. My bottom three is Valkyrie, Hulk, Ms Marvel. Ms Marvel design is fun but I rather play other heroes. MM is not for me and will probably sit there in my box until I do my yearly challenge of playing every single hero. Top 3right now for me is Captain America, Agent Venom, Sp// dr. Thanks for the video!
Love seeing my fav Black Widow rated in the top ten. What about a video on your favourite pairings? Appropriately enough Black Widow and Hawkeye are my fav pairing. Also if you do get a chance to demo the X-Men stuff please make a video talking about your experience.
Vision number 1. Really fun to play, good at damaging and thwarting and very close to the comic book character and his abilities. Other liked heroes are: Ant-man, Spiderman, Hawkeye, Ironman and Captain America.
It’s interesting comparing your list to what I like. I prefer protection and agression, so some of our heroes are the same and some are way different. My 2 favorite are ghost spider and drax for protection.
For cards getting shuffled I use Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves, and then for the character identity card, main villain card, and main schemes I use FFG sleeves (basically any premium sleeve that is clear on both sides). The Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves are "blurry" on one side, so not the best for dual sided cards but I love the way they feel. Hope that helps, and happy gaming!! :)
Great! Super helpful! I was looking at dragon shield, but they were a bit more pricy than others. I know they are high quality though. Good to know they are more blurry on the back. Thanks!!
I recently noticed I personally don’t prefer multi form heroes. Idk if it’s the extra flipping or what. So Spectrum, Wasp, Vision, etc. Ant Man is fun tho. And Adam Warlock is frustrating to me bc he has so much he can do the analysis paralysis overwhelms me. 😝. As far as favorites I have found I like $$. So hero’s that can pay for things is fun for me. Rocket, Nova, Capt. Marvel, Black Panther, and SP//dr / Spider Pig have been a lot of fun laterally. Capt. America is still the ultimate hero bc of his synergies with all aspects.
Wow, all the guardians at the back hahaha, i never tried them so i can't say lot more. This game is so good, we can see that there are so much ways to play, my favourite cards are agression and protection (but justice and leadership are still very nice too) I'm quite new in this game and have "only" 16 champs but for myself, my top 5 would be Quicksilver, Valkyrie, Black Panther, Iron man, and Black widow (i can't say which one is top 1 and which one is 5, i love them all haha) Hulk would be around here too (surely the 6th place). I love difficulty and hulk, valkyrie etc so much people says they are bad but i love them so much it's so great to win with them, but i understand they are very difficult to play in solo because of the bad thwart stat. 2 players game with them i love it so much. I don't have fun with "too strong" hero (hey Dr Strange) but still like sometime play them. Awesome video !
Thanks for updating your list of your favorite heroes, Dale. could you do a video where you rank the top villains? Btw, Ms. Marvel in the MCU does not have the same ability as the Ms. Marvel in Marvel Champions :)
@GoGo Reacts Thanks for watching! That would be a tough list for me as I try to mix them up more than picking favorites ... but I know Ronan would get my least favorite spot! :)
You really need to give Nebula a second chance now that Honed Technique exists. With Cutthroat Ambition and HT you can do some serious overkill damage. Against Ultron for example you can hit a drone with Into the Fray, kill it, do 8 damage to Ultron, and remove 8 threat from the main scheme!
Our back two rows are very similar, except I have Ghost Spider in the front. I love her play style and shenanigans. Ironheart has definitely made the top of my list since she came out, and Ms. Marvel has always been up there as well. I have yet to try out Sp//Dr or Ham, but I think the former will also be a style that suits me.
Right now, Red Skull is still my favorite, then Mad Titan, Sinister Motives, and Galaxies last. But with that said, I do like the reputation track used in sinister motives. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer I meant like ranking all the villains, from Rhino to Venom Goblin :) Would make an interesting video, just like this one. Having said that, as a life long Spider-Man fan, sinister motives is my favorite campaign. Of course we agree on galaxy least wanted ;)
Always love the analog tier lists. I'm excited to see the non-Cyclops and Phoenix X-men characters. For example, will Shadowcat have similar mechanisms to Vision? Or will her phasing be implemented differently?
Ironman in protection and lots of tech cards with energy symbols Starlord in leadership with high cost allies Drax in protection is so cool to play scarlet witch in justice
I honestly haven't really thought about a favorite. I usually play a different hero every game unless I'm going through a campaign. If I'm thinking about it I really like the original Spiderman in protection.
Ironheart is so good. Really fun build mechanic, super powerful when she's levelled up, and the hero cards are (for me) the best in the game. They all tie in perfectly to what you want to do with the character. She's one of those heroes where you just want to select aspect/basic cards that essentially allow you to get the hero cards out ASAP. I find myself having so many options every single turn and I'm always doing something effective. I know your go to aspects are Justice and Aggression, but have you played much Ghost Spider in Protection? Loading her up with defense events and cards like Unflappable and Hard to Ignore is a lot of fun. Ghost Spider and Ironheart were the first pair of heroes where I manage to absolutely breeze through Ronan!
@Jason Bagari. I’m very much in the camp of but the heroes or villains that interest you. Then after you are getting comfortable with that, maybe see which mechanics or aspects fit your play style and then grow from there. Hope that helps and happy gaming!
My most liked heroes are the ones with "strange" play-styles: Black Widow Ghost Spider Nebula Scarlet Witch I also like the "build-suit" heroes: Ironheart and Iron Man. Special love for Spiderman (both) because I'm a spidey-sucker. And cannot leave Wasp and Star Lord out of my top ten. So there it is: my top ten 🌟
Well for me Iron Man and Captain Marvel are still my go to primarily because Tony was my favourite Super hero growing up and Captain Marvel just brings home the power consistently while being able to manage the threat. She's also the only hero I ever won Galaxy's Most Wanted on Expert. No one else comes close solo for me.
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks Dale. I like her for more than being the powerhouse - I like the character regardless of others views - you can play her with any aspect and pretty much win. I would have liked to have seen Hulk and Thor to have similar power blasts (their hand size limits them so much) but I do feel they got Captain Marvel absolutely right.
nice list! Sad to see Star lord so far down. He is so fun but really swingy and can get unlucky. My top 10 10. Iron Man 9. Nova 8. Spiderman 7. Dr Strange 6. Miles Morales 5. Venom 4.Captain Marvel 3.Captain America 2. Ms Marvel 1. Antman Haven't had much time with Ironheart, Adam Warlock, or SP suit and don't own Spiderham
Totally agree with a lot of your choices. The guardians really don’t do it for me. I’m really into SP//dr right now. I like trying to figure out her puzzle for best use of her resources. I would rate Nova higher. His ability to hit the ground running is sweet. I played an expert Klaw once. Unleashed the Nova force, took out Whirlwind and both side schemes turn one. Those kind of turns don’t come around often, but when they do it’s an awesome feeling.
Perhaps a small tip for future rank lists. Select the best and the worst from the lot, add the best in front as number 1 and the worst in the back as number x, where x is the total number of heroes. Now the lot is smaller, since you removed 2 heroes (the best and worst). Again select the best of the lot and the worst, put them in the front as number 2 and back as number x-1 (i.e. before the last one) respectively. keep on going until you finish the pool of characters. The list is now exactly ranked according to your preference. This system works for all sorts of lists from best to worst.
@Dovion killer Thanks for watching! They are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at ruclips.net/video/HBNRANBuKS4/видео.html and a handy attachment tray at ruclips.net/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/видео.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
9:02 "get a good idea of what she can do" . One of the main reasons I don't like the show is you get zero idea of what she can do. The main superpower is running upstairs :D
@@DaletheCasualGamer would like to see them on the full list relative to other non x men heros :) I'm still waiting for my copies to be shipped, along with other expansions. I'm still exploring the core box.
Wow surprised! I tried all the new hero packs recently solo against Mysterio standard with the pre cons and ended up only loosing with Spider Ham. Nova was Extremely OP And burned him down in 5 rounds. Iron heart and Sp//Dr were the most fun. Ill have to try him again, how did you like the spider verse movie?
@Trent Dougan I've played game with Mysterio where no boost cards are illusions, and others where every boost card is an illusion. Talk about a change in difficulty! :) I enjoyed the movie, gave me an introduction to the new characters, and it was entertaining. :)
Trying hard not to spend on collecting all the heroes. Looks like Iron heart and quicksilver are a good bet for my next purchases as a lot of people seem to be recommending them.
@@DaletheCasualGamer I'd say Black Panther and Captain America are current favourites. Still learning but they've been reliable so far for taking down villains as a team up.
Thanks for watching! Not sure about STL files, but they are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at ruclips.net/video/HBNRANBuKS4/видео.html and a handy attachment tray at ruclips.net/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/видео.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
I have questions: 1. Why is Nebula the only one in alter-ego form? 2. Why is Valkyrie so below Thor? They are very similar, and she seems actually fancier. 3. What caused a so sudden drop in Wanda's positioning?
1. She didn’t change her outfit, and I like her card draw. 2. In a heavy minion game, I’ll always choose Thor over Valkyrie (I like working to get the extra 4 cards a turn). 3. No good reason. She’s solid, I just never get her to the table. I may have to work on that. :)
I would put all of the latest cycle heroes in the bottom tier based solely on my interest in the character or actually even owning them. I only have Miles and Gwen. Hard pass on all the others. Can't justify spending the money for just a few aspect cards. Bring on the X-Men! Wolverine better show up quick!
We're lucky to have so many good cards at this point that you can freely skip Heroes you aren't interested in! Still, the designers have done a pretty good job with this cycle. I think Web-Warriors is more interesting than Champions, though.
True. I’m trying to get out of the “have to buy it all” trap I’ve fallen into with other games. Bought a lot of expansion sets because I thought I would miss out on something important but ended up never really using.
She was mean to me. ;) Just kidding. My favorites list is pretty much the heroes that get to the table, and now with so many heroes there’s so little time. She is awesome, but I’m going towards other heroes.
As someone who just recently got into MC, I have been going through the cards in release order.

@aSyphodias Agreed, Hulk should have had some "gimmick" similar to Drax. And I do tend to play conservatively, and that is not Star Lord! lol
Enjoyed watching your list. Can’t wait for X-Men. It’s my favorite Marvel team. Lots of great characters!
Thanks for watching, and will be curious to see the direction the design team goes with the X-Men! :)
Nice Video! My top 5 is a lot different than yours, but I like your perspective!
My top 5(I like protection and leadership):
1. Black Widow
2. Spider Man (Peter Parker)
3. Vision
4. Groot
5. SP//DR

This is great content for all standard of players to compare all the heroes.
It's scary to see all 35 heroes in one shot especially as I have a deck made for all of them. That's a lot of content for the game now.
And no sign of this game slowing down either!! :)
Good stuff as always, Dale! While she’s not my fave hero, I’ve been enjoying playing Wasp lately - in all aspects. Someone has to populate the back row tho’, just wondering why she’s of no interest to you?
Black Widow is definitely my fave, with all her upgrades, haha!
So many heroes to play and so little time! 🤓
I think for that mechanic, I’ll always pick ant man. :)
My jam is She-Hulk. Fun to watch other perspectives. Keep up the good work.
She is solid for sure! Thanks for watching!
This game sat on my shelf for a year. Then I decided to get the Sinister Motives Campaign. Ghost Spider and that whole box drew me right in. Bought everything after that.

@@DaletheCasualGamer agreed, hoping they go with the classic cartoon lineup first!
Great video Dale! I don't have all the heroes yet but I recently picked up Nebula. I have been playing her alongside Gamora and using their Daughters of Thanos team-up card and you can draw 5 extra cards once setup using their Alter ego abilities then flipping to hero.

I agree with many of your choices, maybe I value Black Panther a little higher, in other side I don't know how to play Black Widow at all.

Thanks for this, Dale! :)
Thanks for watching! :)
Great video Dale, thanks!
I do share your enthusiasm for Ironheart, but I think she'll drop eventually cause of lack of variety. I always play the same way with her, same goes for spider suit.
That’s what I’ve been hearing. I think ironheart will stay too 10, but can see the suit dropping.
Cap and Venom switch from 1st and 2nd for me as well. Justice and Aggression player as well, but I do enjoy running cap with protection if I run protection.
@Whitewolfx14 Cool! I do bring out protection more in 3 player games ... but most of my plays are generally solo or two player. :)
My top 5 favorites to play, in rough order of preference: Spider-Ham, Rocket Raccoon, Ironheart, Spider-Man (Miles), Star-Lord
Honorable Mentions: Venom, Nova, Spider-Man (Peter), Drax, Ant-Man
I know that both Cpt. America and Dr. Strange are considered to be the most powerful hero decks in the game overall but, other than just basking in their sheer power level, I find that I don't enjoy playing them all that much.

@Daniel Keim. I’ve enjoyed Groot in a 4 player game where I just took hits, but the other 3 players did all the hard work. :)

Top 3right now for me is Captain America, Agent Venom, Sp// dr. Thanks for the video!
2 out of 3 the same in our top spots!! Who is your son gravitating towards?
@@DaletheCasualGamer1. Spider-Man, 2. Ant-man and 3. SpiderHam 4. Quicksilver 5. Drax.
Love seeing my fav Black Widow rated in the top ten. What about a video on your favourite pairings? Appropriately enough Black Widow and Hawkeye are my fav pairing. Also if you do get a chance to demo the X-Men stuff please make a video talking about your experience.
For pairings, thematically Iron Man and War Machine. Not thematic, probably Captain America and Venom (my top 2)! :)
Vision number 1. Really fun to play, good at damaging and thwarting and very close to the comic book character and his abilities. Other liked heroes are: Ant-man, Spiderman, Hawkeye, Ironman and Captain America.
Great list! Thanks for sharing! :)
It’s interesting comparing your list to what I like. I prefer protection and agression, so some of our heroes are the same and some are way different. My 2 favorite are ghost spider and drax for protection.
It is amazing how heroes will change depending on your preferred aspect, and number of players in the game. :)
Enjoyed your list! What sleeves do you use?
For cards getting shuffled I use Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves, and then for the character identity card, main villain card, and main schemes I use FFG sleeves (basically any premium sleeve that is clear on both sides). The Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves are "blurry" on one side, so not the best for dual sided cards but I love the way they feel. Hope that helps, and happy gaming!! :)
Great! Super helpful! I was looking at dragon shield, but they were a bit more pricy than others. I know they are high quality though. Good to know they are more blurry on the back. Thanks!!
I recently noticed I personally don’t prefer multi form heroes. Idk if it’s the extra flipping or what. So Spectrum, Wasp, Vision, etc. Ant Man is fun tho. And Adam Warlock is frustrating to me bc he has so much he can do the analysis paralysis overwhelms me. 😝. As far as favorites I have found I like $$. So hero’s that can pay for things is fun for me. Rocket, Nova, Capt. Marvel, Black Panther, and SP//dr / Spider Pig have been a lot of fun laterally. Capt. America is still the ultimate hero bc of his synergies with all aspects.
Having options or $$ does make the heroes a lot more fun for sure! :)
Wow, all the guardians at the back hahaha, i never tried them so i can't say lot more.
This game is so good, we can see that there are so much ways to play, my favourite cards are agression and protection (but justice and leadership are still very nice too)
I'm quite new in this game and have "only" 16 champs but for myself, my top 5 would be Quicksilver, Valkyrie, Black Panther, Iron man, and Black widow (i can't say which one is top 1 and which one is 5, i love them all haha)
Hulk would be around here too (surely the 6th place). I love difficulty and hulk, valkyrie etc so much people says they are bad but i love them so much it's so great to win with them, but i understand they are very difficult to play in solo because of the bad thwart stat. 2 players game with them i love it so much.
I don't have fun with "too strong" hero (hey Dr Strange) but still like sometime play them.
Awesome video !
Poor Guardians for sure! Thanks for sharing your list! :)
Thanks for updating your list of your favorite heroes, Dale. could you do a video where you rank the top villains?
Btw, Ms. Marvel in the MCU does not have the same ability as the Ms. Marvel in Marvel Champions :)
@GoGo Reacts Thanks for watching! That would be a tough list for me as I try to mix them up more than picking favorites ... but I know Ronan would get my least favorite spot! :)
You really need to give Nebula a second chance now that Honed Technique exists. With Cutthroat Ambition and HT you can do some serious overkill damage. Against Ultron for example you can hit a drone with Into the Fray, kill it, do 8 damage to Ultron, and remove 8 threat from the main scheme!
@B N. Cool combo! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer very satisfying to pull off, and it happens more than you might think! I demand a full Guardians only campaign 😄
Venom has been my fav ever since he came out. Really enjoy Dr Strange. Haven't tried Ironheart yet, but I now realize I need to.
Solid top choices! :)
You did Nebula dirty! Not only is she second from the bottom, you didn't even show her hero side! 🤣
She's still in the collection ... so there's a chance she can still move up. (if she doesn't kill me first). ;)
Can’t believe spidey is still in the top 10!!
:)
Our back two rows are very similar, except I have Ghost Spider in the front. I love her play style and shenanigans. Ironheart has definitely made the top of my list since she came out, and Ms. Marvel has always been up there as well. I have yet to try out Sp//Dr or Ham, but I think the former will also be a style that suits me.
I always had bad luck with “her father” when playing, so really never got her to her full potential. :)
Perhaps you can make a video like this about the scenario's as well? I'd like to hear your thoughts on those.
Right now, Red Skull is still my favorite, then Mad Titan, Sinister Motives, and Galaxies last. But with that said, I do like the reputation track used in sinister motives. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer I meant like ranking all the villains, from Rhino to Venom Goblin :)
Would make an interesting video, just like this one.
Having said that, as a life long Spider-Man fan, sinister motives is my favorite campaign. Of course we agree on galaxy least wanted ;)
Always love the analog tier lists.
I'm excited to see the non-Cyclops and Phoenix X-men characters. For example, will Shadowcat have similar mechanisms to Vision? Or will her phasing be implemented differently?
I hope to demo the X-men set tomorrow. :)
My personal favorites to play are definitely:
1. Venom
2. Dr Strange
3. Scarlet Witch
4. Star Lord
5. Groot
@Johnny Leyenda Looks like a fun top 5!! :)
Ironman in protection and lots of tech cards with energy symbols
Starlord in leadership with high cost allies
Drax in protection is so cool to play
scarlet witch in justice
Thanks for the list and theme for the decks! Really cool! :)
Seems like I’m the only one with hulk and Thor in my top 10 lol. Gamora, too. She’s kinda broken if built right and she’s my wife’s go to.
Glad you’re having fun with those, and you e got your wife in the game! :)
Sad to see Thor at the bottom of your list, some of the more recent card releases over the last year really gave him a nice boost.
@Adam JC916 19 out of 35, and a good distance from my "not interested" tier. Where is he in your list, and who is your favorite? :)
I honestly haven't really thought about a favorite. I usually play a different hero every game unless I'm going through a campaign. If I'm thinking about it I really like the original Spiderman in protection.
Ironheart is so good. Really fun build mechanic, super powerful when she's levelled up, and the hero cards are (for me) the best in the game. They all tie in perfectly to what you want to do with the character. She's one of those heroes where you just want to select aspect/basic cards that essentially allow you to get the hero cards out ASAP. I find myself having so many options every single turn and I'm always doing something effective.
I know your go to aspects are Justice and Aggression, but have you played much Ghost Spider in Protection? Loading her up with defense events and cards like Unflappable and Hard to Ignore is a lot of fun. Ghost Spider and Ironheart were the first pair of heroes where I manage to absolutely breeze through Ronan!
I really do need to work in protection a little more. Iron Man is the only hero I'm currently always building in that aspect.
Thanks for watching! :)
Just got into Marvel Champions and love your content. Any chance you'd ever do a buy guide for new players?
@Jason Bagari. I’m very much in the camp of but the heroes or villains that interest you. Then after you are getting comfortable with that, maybe see which mechanics or aspects fit your play style and then grow from there. Hope that helps and happy gaming!
Yes! I am glad to see you moving IronMan up and Ironheart being a top 5!
Two favorite heroes.
Building them up is so much fun, and the tension of ignoring certain things while you build. :)
Me that got into Marvel Champions because of Star Lord and The Guardians Of The Galaxy. 😁
Haha! I guess we'll need to play a game and see if you can change my mind! ;)
My most liked heroes are the ones with "strange" play-styles:
Black Widow
Ghost Spider
Nebula
Scarlet Witch
I also like the "build-suit" heroes:
Ironheart and Iron Man.
Special love for Spiderman (both) because I'm a spidey-sucker.
And cannot leave Wasp and Star Lord out of my top ten. So there it is: my top ten 🌟
Thanks for sharing your list! :)
My OCD could not handle Nebula being on her Alter Ego side. I agree with where Star-Lord is though.
@Scott Clapp Lots of people have been noticing Nebula. I mean, she is a villain in the campaign, so I couldn't bring myself to call her a hero. ;)
Well for me Iron Man and Captain Marvel are still my go to primarily because Tony was my favourite Super hero growing up and Captain Marvel just brings home the power consistently while being able to manage the threat. She's also the only hero I ever won Galaxy's Most Wanted on Expert. No one else comes close solo for me.
Captain Marvel solo is the best!! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks Dale. I like her for more than being the powerhouse - I like the character regardless of others views - you can play her with any aspect and pretty much win. I would have liked to have seen Hulk and Thor to have similar power blasts (their hand size limits them so much) but I do feel they got Captain Marvel absolutely right.
My most played heroes currently are She-Hulk, Ghost Spider and Black Widow 🙂
Going with the all-female team! Cool! :)
nice list! Sad to see Star lord so far down. He is so fun but really swingy and can get unlucky.
My top 10
10. Iron Man
9. Nova
8. Spiderman
7. Dr Strange
6. Miles Morales
5. Venom
4.Captain Marvel
3.Captain America
2. Ms Marvel
1. Antman
Haven't had much time with Ironheart, Adam Warlock, or SP suit and don't own Spiderham
We’ve got a few in common in our top 10! :)
Totally agree with a lot of your choices. The guardians really don’t do it for me. I’m really into SP//dr right now. I like trying to figure out her puzzle for best use of her resources. I would rate Nova higher. His ability to hit the ground running is sweet. I played an expert Klaw once. Unleashed the Nova force, took out Whirlwind and both side schemes turn one. Those kind of turns don’t come around often, but when they do it’s an awesome feeling.
@Cindar92. Thanks for watching! I agree, Nova can come out of the gate with big turns!
Perhaps a small tip for future rank lists. Select the best and the worst from the lot, add the best in front as number 1 and the worst in the back as number x, where x is the total number of heroes. Now the lot is smaller, since you removed 2 heroes (the best and worst). Again select the best of the lot and the worst, put them in the front as number 2 and back as number x-1 (i.e. before the last one) respectively. keep on going until you finish the pool of characters. The list is now exactly ranked according to your preference. This system works for all sorts of lists from best to worst.
Venom is a guardian. You cannot say that you don’t like the Gusrdians and then place one in the second spot. 😂
He's retired ... and back web slinging in my mind. ;)
I love the guardians. Danvers and iron heart would be my bottom tier.
You should play more SW, just drop your Top 11 to 20 to barely played heroes :3
@JF She does deserve more play time. :)
What are those stands called that you place the cards on ?
@Dovion killer Thanks for watching! They are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at ruclips.net/video/HBNRANBuKS4/видео.html and a handy attachment tray at ruclips.net/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/видео.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer thank you so much!
Nebula being in her Hero side triggers my OCD
@Hartsy Quinn You are not alone on that one! :)
9:02 "get a good idea of what she can do" . One of the main reasons I don't like the show is you get zero idea of what she can do. The main superpower is running upstairs :D
lol. True, but did reinforce the power or her persona supports. :)
When’s the list with xMen coming out? :)
Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Shadowcat.
How's that compare to you? :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer would like to see them on the full list relative to other non x men heros :)
I'm still waiting for my copies to be shipped, along with other expansions. I'm still exploring the core box.
Wow surprised! I tried all the new hero packs recently solo against Mysterio standard with the pre cons and ended up only loosing with Spider Ham. Nova was Extremely OP And burned him down in 5 rounds. Iron heart and Sp//Dr were the most fun. Ill have to try him again, how did you like the spider verse movie?
@Trent Dougan I've played game with Mysterio where no boost cards are illusions, and others where every boost card is an illusion. Talk about a change in difficulty! :)
I enjoyed the movie, gave me an introduction to the new characters, and it was entertaining. :)
Trying hard not to spend on collecting all the heroes. Looks like Iron heart and quicksilver are a good bet for my next purchases as a lot of people seem to be recommending them.
@Veek Leek They both have some fun mechanics. Who is currently your favorite hero to play?
@@DaletheCasualGamer I'd say Black Panther and Captain America are current favourites. Still learning but they've been reliable so far for taking down villains as a team up.
Is there any STL file for this stands for cards?
Thanks for watching! Not sure about STL files, but they are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at ruclips.net/video/HBNRANBuKS4/видео.html and a handy attachment tray at ruclips.net/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/видео.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer thanks, your playthroughs are the best.
I have questions:
1. Why is Nebula the only one in alter-ego form?
2. Why is Valkyrie so below Thor? They are very similar, and she seems actually fancier.
3. What caused a so sudden drop in Wanda's positioning?
1. She didn’t change her outfit, and I like her card draw.
2. In a heavy minion game, I’ll always choose Thor over Valkyrie (I like working to get the extra 4 cards a turn).
3. No good reason. She’s solid, I just never get her to the table. I may have to work on that. :)
I would put all of the latest cycle heroes in the bottom tier based solely on my interest in the character or actually even owning them. I only have Miles and Gwen. Hard pass on all the others. Can't justify spending the money for just a few aspect cards. Bring on the X-Men! Wolverine better show up quick!
@Keith Carter I know many people are hoping for a Wolverine Hero soon! Gonna have to settle for the ally for a bit. :)
We're lucky to have so many good cards at this point that you can freely skip Heroes you aren't interested in!
Still, the designers have done a pretty good job with this cycle. I think Web-Warriors is more interesting than Champions, though.
True. I’m trying to get out of the “have to buy it all” trap I’ve fallen into with other games. Bought a lot of expansion sets because I thought I would miss out on something important but ended up never really using.
Why did you drop Scarlet Witch so much?
She was mean to me. ;)
Just kidding. My favorites list is pretty much the heroes that get to the table, and now with so many heroes there’s so little time. She is awesome, but I’m going towards other heroes.
Ugh… this seems like to great a task to tackle. Glad I am not you, Dale.
It’s all light hearted. Some will like my list and others love it. And a few might take offense, especially guardian fans. ;)
