Some gamers were skeptical knowing thatMarvel’s Midnight Sunswould be implementing the classic turn-based gameplay found in games likeXCOM. But, once players were able to experience the gameplay firsthand, they saw how well the game played,despite its numerous flaws. Moreover, many gamers enjoy the ability to create their own team of heroes, all equipped with unique Card Decks.

And while Attack and Skill Cards are crucial for players to use during a match, Heroic Cards are the ones that can win the match. And inMarvel’s Midnight Suns, there are dozens of Heroic Cards, each corresponding to a hero. So, players that want to ensure victory will want to know which Heroic Cards are ranked the highest in 2K’sMidnight Suns.
5Chaos Reigns - Scarlet Witch
InDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Marvel fans were able to see how powerful (and chaotic) Scarlet Witch can be. And inMarvel’s Midnight Suns, Scarlet Witch is a force to be reckoned with,especially with the right Heroic Cards. For example, Scarlet Witch’s Detonate+ Heroic Card creates an explosion that deals massive AOE damage while keeping her and her allies protected.
But, another top-tier Heroic Card players should use in a Scarlet Witch’s deck is Chaos Reigns. This Heroic Card turns enemies against each other, forcing them to attack once. And if playerssuccessfully Mod Chaos Reign, they’ll have a 50% chance to attack a second time. This is the best Heroic Card to quickly due away with minor enemy units, especially considering it only costs three Heroic points to use.
4Guarding Strike - The Hunter
Whetherplayers take the Dark or Light Path, The Hunter is one of the most important (and powerful) heroes inMarvel’s Midnight Suns. So, more often than not, The Hunter will be a part of the main team, meaning players will want to use the best Heroic Cards (and there are many). But, out of all of them, Guarding Strike seems to be the most effective one, as it provides Block (10% HP) every turn while the Heroic Card is in hand.

But, if players are caught in a pinch, they can use Guarding Strike to deal 150% Offense (this stat is based on The Hunters base Attack) to an enemy unit. But, players will first have to Mod Guarding Strike to unlock that special ability. This Heroic Card is tied to the Power Alignment but can beused in any Hunter deck.
3Infernal Spider - Spider-Man
Without any doubt, Spider-Man isone of the highest-damage heroesin 2K’sMidnight Suns, especially when using the environment against the enemy team. Unfortunately, all of his Cards (Skill, Heroic, and Attack) consume Heroic points, meaning players must carefully manage their points if they want to unleash the full strength of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Andone way of efficiently managing Heroic pointsis using the Infernal Spider Heroic Card. Once used, the next three Spider-Man Cards will be free, meaning they cost no Heroic points. So, players can set up a Heroic-hungry Spider-Man deck without worrying too much about their Heroic points. But, of course, using Infernal Spider costs 4 Heroic points, so players will still need to save up before using it.
2Rampage - The Hulk
Despite beingintroduced late in the game, The Hulk quickly becomes an essential tank that will help players control the battlefield through Taunts. But, aside from being an effective tank, The Hulk’s Passive Ability (Rage) allows him to increase his Attack stat for every attack targeted at him.

And to take full advantage of The Hulk’s Taunt, players will want toedit their hero deckto contain lots of Taunt Cards. And one of the best Heroic Cards for Taunting is Rampage, as it allows The Hulk to Chain three enemies (or one three times) while gaining Taunt. By doing this, players will force enemy units to attack The Hulk three times, thus increasing The Hulk’s Rage meter. Once the Rage meter is full, players can unleash Seismic Slam or Worldbreaker.
1Reinforcement - Magik
Magik is one of the few heroes inMarvel’s Midnight Sunsthat can effectivelyrearrange the playing fieldthrough her Limbo Portals. But, Magik is more than a repositioning Mutant since she can also call the aid of her fellow heroes. But, unlike other Heroic or Skill Cards, Magik can summon a hero that’s not in the team with the help of Reinforcement.
That means players can summon a hero that’s not in the team, someone at the Abbey. For example, if the player’s team consists of The Hunter, Blade, and Captain Marvel, they can summon Ghost Rider for one turn. On top of that, players draw two cards of the summoned hero, which can be used before they disappear. Undoubtedly, Reinforcement is the best Heroic Card players can use inMarvel’s Midnight Sunssince it allows players to momentarily have a fourth member on the team.
Marvel’s Midnight Sunsis available now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
