Is Captain America good?
Captain America blocks incoming damage extremely well, with a base block proficiency that already exceeds 75 percent mitigation, and stacking max-rank Parry adds another 25 percent on top, which brings Well-Timed Blocks down to zero damage taken. His high chance to Perfect Block also makes the Perfect Block mastery hit above its weight, since at 90 percent Perfect Block chance its bonus cuts the number of hits that actually land from 10 in 100 down to 6 in 100, a 40 percent drop in incoming damage.
His weakness is that unblockable attacks and Stun immunity get around his whole Fatigue-based game plan, and Purify strips the Fatigue debuffs his Perfect Blocks apply.
Strengths
- Block proficiency alone can exceed 75 percent mitigation
- Max-rank Parry can push Well-Timed Blocks to zero damage
- High Perfect Block chance makes the mastery unusually effective
Weaknesses
- Unblockable attacks bypass his Fatigue game plan entirely
- Purify strips his Fatigue debuffs
- Stun immunity blocks his main way of applying Fatigue

6Blocking
Passive40% chance that a Block is a Perfect Block, reducing all damage to 0. A Perfect Block has a 90% chance to Fatigue the opponent, lowering their Critical Rating by 250 for 12 seconds. Dev Notes: Captain America can reduce incoming damage to zero with a Well-Timed Block and the Parry mastery, as the Parry mastery at maximum rank reduces incoming damage by 25%. This stacks with Block Proficiency, so a block that reduces damage by 75% or more could reduce damage to zero with max rank Parry. Perfect Blocks are independent of this and will reduce damage to zero when they trigger regardless of Block Proficiency. Also, Captain America’s high chance to Perfect Block works well with the Parry mastery in another way by increasing the duration of the stun produced by Parry.

Last Stand
Signature AbilityThe chance to Perfectly Block all damage increases by up to 10 - 51.44% based on lost Health, providing hope when the Cap needs it most. Dev Notes: At very low health Captain America can have up to a 91.55% chance to Perfect Block incoming attacks reducing their damage to zero. This can be increased further with the Perfect Block mastery to 95.55%, meaning less than one out of every twenty attacks will do any damage at all, before considering block damage mitigation. This can make Captain America extremely resistant to damage, but this requires you to block and Parry attacks properly and consistently. Captain America has no real protection against unblocked attacks.
At tier 6
Special Attacks (Stun mechanic)
Passive30% chance to Stun opponents for 3 seconds. The chance to Stun is increased by 40% if the target is Fatigued. Dev Notes: These two chances combine additively, meaning a Fatigued opponent has a 70% chance to be stunned by Captain America’s special attacks.
