Taskmaster has had utility for awhile now, so he’s only going to get better when he can blind the enemy team right away and allow Mister Negative to build up some Inner Demons.Īnd now I’ll close this out with things to watch out for this week in Marvel Strike Force: I think it’s safe to say that Underworld will finally have their time in the sun, breathing new life into forgotten and discarded toons like Kingpin, Nobu, and Green Goblin. And, consider this: if all of those summons also have the Underworld tag, then the Extra Focus will be pouring in! We have Kingpin and Nobu, who also summon allies, which means that the battlefield is going to be extremely full. Now let’s think about how this Underworld team shapes up with Mister Negative at the helm. This is the second toon that we’ve seen recently that can clear Revive Once, so expect to see that mechanic coming through more frequently in coming releases. On top of all that, Mister Negative’s basic ability flips positive effects as well, and then his Special ability – Demonic Assistance, spreads those negative effects while applying Trauma. Time to shake it like a Polaroid picture because that’s one amazing Ultimate! In another burst of flavor, his Ultimate also flips all positive effects to negative effects, and cannot be blocked or dodged. Mister Negative also clears Revive Once and 1 Charged from primary targets when using his Ultimate – Wave of Negativity ability. With how powerful Mystic toons are these days, Underworld is shaping up to be a direct counter to Mystic teams in War. Their death also lowers enemy Speed Bars, and they lower the Speed Bars of Mystic enemies on their basic as well. It’s important to note that these have the Underworld Trait, so the Extra Focus will continue to grow if you assemble more and more of these Inner Demons. Cyclops – Apply 2 Heal Block on basic, gain 2 Offense Up on spawnĪll of these Inner Demons also apply Piercing damage and gain Extra Focus per Underworld ally.Demon – Apply 2 Offense Down on basic (and Stun during War Offense), gain 2 Defense Up on spawn.Dragon – Apply 2 Bleed on basic, gains 2 Speed Up on spawn.Here’s a breakdown of the different Inner Demons and their differences: This rotating summon is such an interesting idea, and it really gives Mister Negative some good sustain, especially since this isn’t an ability that only procs in War. So these Inner Demons will plague you until Mister Negative is gone! It’s also not entirely clear, but I think we can infer that these Mister Negative Inner Demons will continue to summon every turn in that cycle, and not just stop after the third turn. Cyclops is also the one that summons on the spawn. There are three Inner Demons – Dragon, Demon, and Cyclops, and that’s the order they spawn in. You know exactly what Inner Demon is coming up next in the chain so you can prepare for it when you’re attacking or defending against Mister Negative. This is much more powerful and reliable.įirst off, the summons occur in a specific order. And then Multiple Man when he gets attacked. Hela is the only other toon with a passive summon like this, but that only triggers on spawn and when the summon dies (unless you’re in War). His Passive, Inner Demons, summons an Inner Demon on spawn, and also passively summons an Inner Demon on his turn. So let’s talk about Mister Negative’s kit for a bit, because he actually has a Passive ability that looks like a really fun exploration of Marvel Strike Force design space. And, as I type this, I realize that I’m probably going to confused Mister Negative with Mister Sinister in articles now thanks to force of habit. The Underworld team is touted as being primarily a WAR OFFENSE team, which we can see by the sneak peek into Mister Negative’s abilities. Scopely basically took the scraps and leftovers from other teams to form Underworld. What’s nice about this is that the Underworld team only has Mister Negative as a new toon all of the other four toons on the team are actually already in the game. Pretty neat stuff.Īs far as Marvel Strike Force is concerned, Mister Negative will be joining the newly formed Underworld team. His whole schtick is using the negative field, like undeveloped photographs or like some of those funky Photoshop filters you can apply. The first time that I learned about Mister Negative was playing through the recent Spider-Man game, where he ends up being the big bad. That’s right Mister Negative is coming to Marvel Strike Force! Welcome back to MSF Mondays! Each week we break down one more aspect of the hottest mobile game, Marvel Strike Force! Today we’re talking about the formation of the new Underworld team and its 5th member: Mister Negative.
