Wins by making the opponent Miss. Once he's Focused, they gain Persuasion every 0.6 seconds and every 20th stack Falters them into a guaranteed Miss, which his signature punishes with Degeneration.

Special 1 Nullifies Fury, Cruelty and Precision Buffs, Special 2 stacks Degenerations (triple while they Falter), and Special 3 steals all of the opponent's Power.

Background

A master of manipulation and overall evil genius, Ebony Maw is Thanos’s most trusted lieutenant, never failing him even once.

Focusing on his strong telekinetic abilities rather than raw physical strength, Ebony Maw curves and bends the environment around him with ease.

Additionally, his superhuman persuasive voice allows him to sway even the strongest minds.
