Is Captain Marvel good?
Captain Marvel becomes extremely durable once she triggers Binary Ignition, gaining an Indestructible buff, and she fuels that mode by absorbing the opponent's own energy attacks. Once inside Binary Ignition, her critical hits deal massive energy damage, and the Enhanced Fury mastery multiplies that output further. Since she's immune to Poison, Liquid Courage gives her bonus attack for free, and Stupefy maximizes the stuns from her Super Strength and Special Attack 2.
Mystic champions that nullify buffs strip away what makes Binary Ignition strong, and anything that steals, drains, locks, or burns power can keep her from ever reaching that mode.
Strengths
- Binary Ignition grants an Indestructible buff for high durability
- Absorbs enemy energy attacks to fuel Binary Ignition
- Massive crit damage while in Binary Ignition
- Poison immunity makes Liquid Courage pure upside
Weaknesses
- Buff-nullifying Mystic champions counter Binary Ignition
- Power steal, drain, lock, or burn effects can prevent her from reaching Binary Ignition

Super Strength Landing a hit or hitting into a Block with a Light or Medium Attack has a 15% chance to inflict Armor Break, reducing Armor Rating by 603.66 for 7 seconds. Intercepting an opponent's Dash Attack has a 100% chance to inflict Armor Break, reducing Armor Rating by 603.66 for 7 seconds. Striking with a Heavy Attack while the opponent is charging or executing a Heavy Attack removes all Armor Up effects and inflicts Stun for 2.5 seconds.

Stunning your opponent using this ability will boost Captain Marvel's damage and give a considerable advantage against Armor Up Champions.

Energy Absorption
PassiveCaptain Marvel gains Persistent Energy Charges by Blocking Physical Attacks and when receiving Energy Damage. Any Energy Charges that Captain Marvel ends a fight with persists between fights. Max 25 stacks. Well Timed Blocks generate an additional Energy Charge. At the start of the fight, Captain Marvel gains 2% of Max Power for each Energy Charge she has. Captain Marvel suffers 2447.1 damage when Energy Charges are generated by the effects of Mystic Champions. Dev Notes: When playing as Captain Marvel, managing her Energy Charges at the end of a fight will impact her strength throughout a quest. More Energy Charges saved between fights means going into the next fight with the option of activating Special Attacks and Binary Ignition sooner.
At tier 7
Binary Ignition
PassiveWhile at 10 Energy Charges or over, Dashing back and holding Block for 1.2 seconds or being Knocked Down Purifies all Debuffs and pushes Captain Marvel into Binary Ignition. Captain Marvel enters Binary Ignition automatically at 25 Energy Charges. In Binary Ignition, Captain Marvel does not generate Energy Charges and each Charge lasts 1.2 seconds. Gain a Permanent Fury Buff, increasing Attack by 3171.6 for every 5 stacks of Energy Charge. All Fury Buffs are removed when Energy Charges fall to zero. Damaging Energy Debuffs increase the duration of Energy Charges by 1 second. The chance to inflict Armor Break with a Light or Medium Attack increases to 60%. Deal an additional 30% of damage dealt as a burst of Energy Damage when striking an opponent with an Armor Break Debuff. Landing Heavy Attacks while in Binary Ignition generates 3 Energy Charges. Dev Notes: Binary Ignition is a powerful ability when activated with 25 Charges. Since stored Energy Charges begin to expire in this mode, Binary Ignition will last as long as Captain Marvel has Energy Charges. Maximizing the amount of time Captain Marvel is in Binary Ignition is paramount to playing her. Additionally, striking an opponent's Block will also trigger a burst of Energy Damage in Binary Ignition.
At tier 7
Binary Durability
Signature AbilityBinary Durability - Above 20 Energy Charges While Binary Ignition is active, Captain Marvel gains an Indestructible Buff for 6-12 seconds. This ability can be activated again after a 60-40 second cooldown. The Indestructible Buff and half of Captain Marvel's Energy Charges are removed when struck by a Special Attack. Dev Notes: With this signature ability, Captain Marvel is able to withstand the most powerful attacks if players opt to wait and build over 20 Energy Charges and activate Binary Ignition at just the right moment.
Special 1 - "Photon" Blast
Special AttackTearing through the toughest defenses, Captain Marvel unleashes two powerful beams of cosmic energy before leaping in for an Earth shaking punch. Generate 3 Energy Charges. Energy Beams in this attack deal True Damage. In Binary Ignition, Beam Attacks are Unblockable, but this attack expends 2 Energy Charges instead. Dev Notes: Outside of Energy Absorption, Captain Marvel can also generate Energy Charges when she is not in Binary Ignition. When building her Charges, Special Attack 1 serves as an offensive route for Captain Marvel to reach Binary Ignition. When fighting against Captain Marvel, this attack becomes very difficult to avoid when she is in Binary Ignition.
Special 2 - Skrull Slayer
Special AttackWith a graceful flurry of powerful kicks and punches, Captain Marvel sends her foes back with a pair of well-placed cosmic beams. 100% chance to Stun for 2 seconds. In Binary Ignition this stun lasts 3.5 seconds. Energy Beams in this attack deal True Damage. In Binary Ignition, Beam Attacks are Unblockable and expend 4 Energy Charges. Dev Notes: Pair this attack with a Super Strength Stun to maximize your combo hits on the opponent.
Special 3 - Space-faring Binary Star
Special AttackHarnessing the power of a Binary Star, Captain Marvel sends her foes into orbit before burying them in cosmic energy. Generate 10 Energy Charges. Gain a Power Gain Buff generating 40% of max Power over 10 seconds. Dev Notes: This attack does not generate Energy Charges when in Binary Ignition, but will allow Captain Marvel to build to Binary Ignition in longer fights.
