And, while Marvel’s Midnight Suns does start pretty easy in terms of difficulty, it ramps up pretty quickly. So, let’s go through each of the Heroes and talk about which of their cards players should Upgrade first.

Disclaimer: No Epic or Legendary Cards were used as they can’t really be obtained ’early on'.

Blade

First up is Blade, a man who once said “it’s open season on all suckheads” with a straight face. In-game he’s a powerhouse that’s meant to play entirely around his innate Bleed mechanics. Sadly, because of how Bleed works in Midnight Suns, Blade quickly falls off, but here are the cards that keep him relevant.

Captain America

Moving on from one of the more ‘underground’ heroes to the literal head of the Avengers, it’s Captain America. Cap is Midnight Sun’s most pure ’tank’ character and he does his job well by using Taunts, Counters, and inflicting Weak. His best immediate upgrades are:

Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel is a bit of a mixed character in terms of her ‘role’. She has a lot of cards around Taunting and Blocking, but the reason she wants to build up Block is to maintain her Binary transformation. With that in mind her best immediate upgrades are:

Dr. Strange

Dr. Strange is another unique case as his whole kit is based around generating Heroism through cards or his Greater Good passive.

Then, using that Heroism, Strange can deal extra damage with his cards that have the Enhanced keyword. To best cards to focus on first are:

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider, like Dr. Strange, is another Hero that has a relatively high skill ceiling and high damage. He’s based around the idea of gaining Souls through KOs and then using those Souls in different ways. To easily get his gameplay loop going, players should upgrade:

Hulk

Now it almost seems unnecessary to mention Hulk’s cards, given how late into the game he’s unlocked. But, for those interested in the post-game content, his challenge mission, or even NG+, here are his best options:

Hunter

The Hunter is probably the most unique case on here, and that’s even excluding the fact that it’s the player’s ‘create-a-character’. The Hunter has cards along a general path, a light path, and a dark path, all of which are influenced by choices made during the main and side content. This gives them the highest total pool of cards at 30, so let’s go over some of the best cards to upgrade:

Iron Man

Tony Stark and his iconic Iron Man suit have probably one of the more inventive gimmicks in Midnight Suns with his Redraw systems.

When using Redraw on Tony’s cards, the cards aren’t redrawn but rather stay in hand with extra effects. To put it more simply, upgrade these cards first:

Magik

Magik is absolutely the perfect character for Midnight Suns players who just love tossing the enemies around into electrical boxes, walls, and even each other. So, players who want to use her Limbo Portal potential to the fullest should upgrade:

Nico Minoru

Nico is probably the best example out of the entire roster of a ‘support’ Hero. Her Roulette keyword, however, adds a layer of randomness that some players seem to love and others seem to really dislike. Regardless of either side, these card upgrades are a must-have:

Scarlet Witch

Compared to a lot of the other Heroes on here, Scarlet Witch feels like she’s in an odd spot.

She’s a character unlocked relatively late based on having a lot of AoE attacks that either inflict some status effect and deal some damage or just deal tons of damage through Hexes. Still, these card upgrades absolutely make a difference:

Spider-Man

Spider-Man is the other environmental attack-based Hero alongside Magik, but he probably excels at it just a little bit more. These cards seemed to help players use the environment the most when upgraded:

Wolverine

Last up is Wolverine, the short king of the Midnight Suns crew. Logan is first encountered relatively early on in this long game when Hunter is duking it out with Sabertooth. From there he joins the team as a pseudo-tank. And, these are the cards in his deck to upgrade to excel with his Taunt and Lifesteal-based playstyle:

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
