Top 10 War Offense Teams | April 2024 | Marvel Strike Force

[Music] what's up everybody Pathfinder back with another video and I want to start a little bit of a series if you will about War uh war is my favorite game mode by far and I really enjoy it I am building my roster very specific Ally towards war and I thought maybe I could do a little bit of a series about it uh to give you guys a frame of reference uh I'm in a top 10 Alliance in the game right now shout out to the black um I believe that you know in terms of War we're competing up there with you know a lot of the top 10 alliances um in war as well and so what I want to try to do is this first video is going to be about what I would consider to be the best offensive teams and then I'm going to try to do another video where I talk about better defensive teams now some of them might be duplicated and that's okay I will also try to include kind of like hybrid teams on here a little bit and and we'll talk uh about it just to kind of give you you know a glimpse of what I'm hoping to do so offense then defense then I kind of want to talk about um kind of like what your philosophy should be about war whether that be heavier defense heavier offense what does that entail what would it look like to you know change around your room placements talking about you know specifics that I look for in my alliance as well now obviously I'm I may not be the best at War and and that's fine I'm just sharing my experience with you so let's let's start with this uh top 10 list um I'm going to say this is a no particular order but I am kind of starting with the best teams first so number one is going to be out of time when you look at out of time uh they are kind of the master key team that you see a hard defense you throw your out of time at it now you can use your out of time in in multiple ways and we talked about this in a previous video before where we talked about how to use the four piece and then how to use Black Knight so there are two there are really two options for out of time number one is you run the whole team this is the current ISO set that I run with him Black Knight as a fort Captain America as a skirmisher Peggy as a Raider Cosmic Ghost Rider as a striker and starbrand as a Raider I would also consider uh Black Knight as a striker as well I just currently have him as fortifier it feels pretty good uh for me and this team is just slaps anything and more right now pretty much and there's not many teams that that they lose to so if if you want kind of that master key uh option for yourself on offense it's definitely going to be the best one um Can can pretty much beat a lot of if not all scroll teams the the majority of scroll teams it's going to be able to beat um it's going to be able to beat a lot of APO teams as well um and and just in general it's a fantastic team and that's what I would suggest using them for if you're going to use them on offense uh if you're using just the four piece I would suggest any fast team uh it's going to take multiple turns before they can take a turn as long as you're out of time is built they will survive long enough to get through and deal enough damage to to kill the enemy side so let's talk about team number two Sinister 6 so for me Sinister 6 is is one of the best factions as a whole in the entire game we look at the other options for sinister 6 and this is why I think that they become so impactful if that makes sense because of how many options you have so you have lizard you have Electro Slayer uh swarm obviously doesn't really count you have shocker um and you have Rhino as kind of your main options so let's say you want to try and counter an out of time team uh you could come in and whoops and put lizard right here you could have Mysterio uh you could have doc you could have Green Goblin you can take out out Craven and then you could do you know something along the lines of like adding in a adding in a phoenix adding in an apocalypse if you need to um you can even add in some other characters as well to take on like an out of time you could let's say uh you go back to Sinister 6 and this team will be uh kind of showing up later but you have like a Sinister 6B team if you will that can take on like an infest you can have lizard and you can have Electro and you can have vulture and Slayer and Craven and this team right here would absolutely blow something up sometimes you don't even need the uh the lizard you could just throw in something like this and as long as vulture is here to take away the speed from infest uh your team's big enough you can walk through you can also throw in like an echo uh if you need to and we'll talk about the other Sinister 6B uh counter that's you know also popular but this team just is so versatile if you want you can uh throw in the main piece that we um that we looked at here and you know something like this can beat in nowhere on on defense it can beat um a wide variety of APO teams it can beat na obviously it can beat a number of different teams and they're just so versatile they they can beat large extreme X-Men teams so as long as you know what you're doing with them they're going to be fantastic for you all right let's talk about nowhere so nowhere is um going to be around for a while they're they're very good on offense and defense um I will say that Star-Lord Annihilation is kind of a dud uh for this team the fact that all he's really doing if he does survive is going to be putting a blind on a couple people because for the most matches that you're taking the rest of the guys are going to do more than enough to get you through and so if starlord Annihilation actually does make it to a second turn he's he's really not doing for you doing much for you in any of those matchups so one thing you could do you can obviously throw apocalypse onto a nowhere and make that a little more of a sure thing depending on what you're fighting this can beat out of time though I would caution you not to try and punch up too much this can also beat a wide variety of teams that just have Black Knight on it which is really great uh for uh taking out teams with Black Knight or or anything like that the one caution I would advise is taking them against scroll teams you can really start to kind of hinder yourself especially if like you're in security for example and you have defense down scroll is going to take multiple turns and that is going to kind of hinder the rest of your team so you want to make sure that they're big enough to survive and I really would not recommend taking them into a lot of scroll teams but they're very good on offense to counter any speed type meta because Nova goes so quick and he has that early stun and just in general they're very uh they can survive a lot uh as long as the team isn't too crazy all right well let's talk about New Avengers now New Avengers has kind of been flexed to offense at the top right now and and that's a lot to do with just this meta being being hyper offensive and the reasoning for that is really the new Warrior uh issue that you have in war right now which is the new Warriors get 50% speed bar and they get the Safeguard and and all of those Buffs that that uh is from the seasonal um seasonal and War currently and so the new Warrior or the New Avengers really counter that hard especially if you are running a team like um firar Chavez hive mind or anything with fire star Chavez because it it stops underworld from working and you need to bring in something better and so na has been kind of the answer to that in a lot of scenarios they're still a great defensive team too but because of their speed bar manipulation it basically allows them to just lap anybody that they face because of the way ronin's passive works now I wouldn't uh I would I would put Coulson here and the thing here and then this is the iso choices and kind of forgot do the iso choices on the others but you have Raider Raider uh healer on Cosmo Striker on Nova skirm on Cor you have a bunch of options for sinister 6 you can do Raider or striker for vulture Striker or skirmisher for Mysterio you can do Striker skirmisher or healer for Doc O Green Goblin I really like is a raider Craven you can do a striker or a Raider you have a lot of different options there so sorry I missed that the next team that we're going to talk about is undying undying is still a phenomenal team and I hope that they continue the trend of every October bringing in a new character though I don't think that's been exactly promised but who knows with then dying you can take on a lot of different teams you can take on scroll extreme you can take on you know new uh New Avengers if they're on defense you can take out infest you could take out really anything that doesn't I would say have an apocalypse on it apocalypse to me can hard counter uh the undying team because if Hela doesn't put a taunt on Greg let's say your Hela doesn't drop below half then he could taunt a gray or the Zim and kill him he could he could Target your zombie jugs and kill him one of them the things I like them the most for right now is killing like a maybe like a cabal scroll or an extreme scroll you could throw in dorm in some cases maybe if you're in like a defense down that would be super helpful other times you can throw in APO to make the very large uh teams not uh you know more effective against those with like scroll um other other teams with you know apocalypse to to try and Shore up the win for you but undying is still incredible I also like pairing void Knight with them because he's an early ability block and flip which is really nice uh for all the spreads that happen on this team with zombie jugs as ult and basic with hel's ult it's just it brings everything together me personally I like zombie jugs as a striker especially if you have him big you can also run him as a fortifier if he's on the smaller side I still like zombie Iron Man as a skirm although mine is pretty big now as well and I also run Hela as a skirm and it's worked very well for me up to this point all right let's talk about Gamma now gamma has has really fallen off significantly and I kind of alluded to that in my most recent Diamond promo video and what I would do with them and red Hulk uh while he is still great gamma is just not as useful as they once were and it's pretty crazy how quickly The Meta shifts uh it wasn't too long ago that you would use APO gamma uh anytime you needed to face a scroll team you would throw in Apocalypse or you would just use full gamma and you would counter almost all scroll teams that that there were and and nowadays you can kind of get uh you can't really get away with that as much anymore you might want to use Apo in other places and Gamma is kind of subject to going into a lesser team now the nice thing about Gamma is that they pretty much can still beat any of the gimmicky teams that are available right now um whether it be basically anything with new Warriors is what I would say uh unless there's like a scroll or apocalypse there they can pretty much counter any of those so keep that in mind as you're using them I also think that you know they could they could slot in on defense too and maybe we can talk about you know that in the defense video as well and how good they would still hold up on defense but in terms of isos I really like red Hulk as a Raider and OG Hulk as a striker I also think Abomination can be a striker in certain scenarios um I like Braun as a Healer just to keep them alive and then if you're using She-Hulk I would encourage you to use skirmisher for her or you can uh run um healer on her as well just to give the team you know that bonus healing all right now we get into what I call the mid tier of the War uh teams and underworld is the first one the thing I love the most about underworld is how quickly that they go in every fight uh it's pretty crazy uh to see how much speed bar they get I think it's like 650 or 700 turn meter on spawn and this is going to keep them around for a long time and the other good thing about uh underworld is that you really only need three characters built and that's Taskmaster Mr negative and Kingpin and the reasoning for that is Kingpin puts out his summons and his minions which which are great which helps the turn meter train Mr negative is also putting out minions and dealing a ton of damage and then Taskmaster is assisting on every turn and so those three characters are as long as they're big you can do massive pun punch-ups against a lot of different things again you're talking about teams that you can just outspeed uh you could use this against extreme X-Men if they're on defense you can use this against uh Heroes for higher comps Infinity watch comps you can use them for a variety of different things one thing I would caution you on is if you see Chavez with new Warriors they will go faster than underworld and also if you see like Noir comps Noir will go first like let's say you see Noir are with hive mind underworld can absolutely fail into that if your underworld isn't built enough and I mean like your noou and your Green Goblin those characters if they're not built enough can absolutely lose to that and it's what we call Trap Teams uh it it it's basically just wanting you to think that underworld would work but then Noir goes first drops somebody low and then the Pain Train starts uh so just be mindful of that I think the best ISO choices are Taskmaster as a skirmisher I used to like him as a striker but you know the damage he just doesn't do as much damage as he used to I like Mr negative as a striker for the triple tap Green Goblin as well and then noou my noou isn't big enough so if you have a big noou Striker is the way to go although he doesn't ever use uh damaging abilities most matches and then kingpen has to be a fortifier uh in order to get that Safeguard on um that special so that's underworld still a wonderful team next we have a force I would put a force uh just as high as I put underworld they're definitely a great team they can take out a lot of different mid-tier options but they're not going to be taking out any of the crazy defenses that you might see the nice thing about this team is that if you have a big Spiderwoman and Photon you can actually do a lot with this team Spiderwoman does massive damage on her opening special especially if you can start on a side and chain all the way across she does insane damage photon is obviously doing insane damage and then JJ and Nico are the third and fourth best members of this team Nico has an amazing ultimate where she flips things puts trauma disrupt on the primary so make sure you're using that on the taunters of teams when you're using them like a beta ra bill on current you know Asgardian comps uh making sure that you put it like on a Wong whatever it might be but she is going to be needed for that and then JJ with that cleanse just just very good team I like Nico as a skirmisher or a Raider I've done both um I think this was for Crucible I like JJ as a skirmisher and then I really like uh um Spiderwoman as a striker you could do Raider or striker on Captain Marvel it doesn't really matter too much but make sure that your other character in photon is the opposite so like run Photon and Spiderwoman as Strikers and then run uh Nico Raider and Captain Marvel Raider and JJ skirmisher or something like that just to make sure that everything uh is is good but you want to make sure Spiderwoman and Photon are dealing the most damage for sure next we we kind of get down into what I would say might be sub mid tier wogs is still a great team but in this current meta there's a lot of stuff that wogs can't be used for uh like new Warrior comps because they go so quickly can absolutely hinder War do teams like if a gwenpool goes first and removes effects or a fire star being able to put tons of bleeds and um deal all that upfront damage cloak and Dagger going before them cloak putting out blinds uh War doog struggle with blind uh they still beat you know like Heroes for higher reliably they could still beat normal Asgard teams reliably and so if you're still seeing some of that stuff wogs is a great team as you can see minine are built pretty big I would definitely say Nakia is a raider for me she deals so much damage I know that AO assists but I'd rather have the damage from from nakia's pings from her upfront damage that she's doing on her abilities black panthers both of them are Strikers then I have sh as a Healer you could also have her as a fortifier if you need that uh extra survivability and then in war specifically you really want Black Panther and AO getting the ability energy AO to be able to rewind on her ult black panther to have the ability to use the ult turn one Black Panther 1 million is already going to start with his ult ready and that's the ability you almost universally use first so having him next to Nakia doesn't really make sense so that's what I would do for war dogs then you have Infinity watch Infinity watch is still a fantastic team they can still counter a lot of different things including um you know including like Heroes for hires comps they can uh beat like Cloak and Dagger specific comps because they have immunity and Safeguard on spawn just be mindful um that Infinity watch is you know is a team that you need to make sure the power is right you don't want to punch up too much um they can beat things like na as well but as those teams get bigger it becomes much more difficult to actually do that but Infinity watch is still a fantastic team I think all of them are Strikers with the exception of nebula you can also make Adam Warlock a skirmisher too if uh if you need that extra Focus here's the Sinister 6 B team I was talking about for infest lizard Target the spt as a skirmisher on his alt then do the special you pretty much wipe him out from there last but certainly not least that I wanted to have as honorable mention is Weapon X I still think Weapon X is a very good team however they just don't do as much as they used to you really need to have them really big to work and a lot of teams right now in this kind of gimmicky top end of War weapon x is just better as kind of a defensive team to try and pinch more of the the mid-tier comps but I wanted to include them uh in case you uh in case you were building them or thinking about building them I think that they're you know they're going to stick around for a while because in war you have 10 defensive teams and at minimum you can have 10 offensive teams and so they're still they're still viable in that sense but I think soon as we continue to get more teams they're just going to continue kind of falling by the wayside unless for some odd reason they get reworked or something like that but that's what I would do you know as far as offensive teams go those are the best ones I there are some teams that I didn't include that you might use on offense and let me know down in the comments what you think about this list let me know what teams you like to use on offense I'm going to be doing a defensive one soon as well just to talk about uh defenses and the nuances behind that too and in this current meta and maybe I can do something along those lines you know every time there's a new uh War season where things shift but if this video helped you find your path make sure to hit that like button subsscribe if you're new and as always have a wonderful day bye [Music] [Music]
