Is Cosmic Ghost Rider Good in Marvel Strike Force

Cosmic Ghost Rider is a fantastic character in Marvel Strike Force, bringing a unique blend of damage, debuff application, and team support. Indeed, he boasts powerful attacks that not only deal significant damage but also weaken the enemies by stripping away buffs and flipping them into disadvantages. Additionally, he can inflict potent debuffs like Bleeding and Trauma, hindering their ability to fight back.

In War, Cosmic Ghost Rider gains extra utility against Controllers with his special attack completely shutting down their abilities, crippling their control potential. He also gains a significant focus boost, making his abilities more likely to land crucial debuffs and effects. Lastly, in War, his protective capabilities are also further enhanced, boosting his team’s survivability.

Cosmic Ghost Rider T4 Priority

To unleash Cosmic Ghost Rider’s full potential, invest primarily in T4 materials that enhance his most strategic abilities.

1. Passive (The Rider) – When at the max level Cosmic Ghost Rider’s passive will give a barrier and will gain a lot of focus bonuses and even more for each Out of Time ally in War.
2. Ultimate (Intergalactic Punishment) – With this ability at max level he applies Trauma while clearing all Battlefield effects on the enemy side. Applying Trauma in addition to the Stun caused by this ability is a strong combination.

Cosmic Ghost Rider ISO-8

Cosmic Ghost Rider excels in the Raider ISO-8 class. This class enhances his ability to inflict Vulnerable effects, which synergizes perfectly with his role as the team’s opener. By weakening enemies right off the bat, he sets the stage for his teammates to deal massive damage.

Best Cosmic Ghost Rider Team in Marvel Strike Force

Cosmic Ghost Rider by himself causes a lot of damage and can therefore be part of many teams. However, he reaches his full potential when paired with the Out of Time Team: Captain Carter, Captain America, Black Knight, and Starbrand. Each member plays a crucial role in maximizing his effectiveness:

• Captain Carter: Capable of dealing high damage to multiple enemies with quick attacks, she also has the ability to heal herself.
• Captain America: He contributes with damage and grants bonuses to speed and vitality while removing harmful effects from allies, generating ability energy for the team, and reinforcing defense.
• Black Knight: The Black Knight has one of the most impressive Health stats in the game. When he is attacked, he responds with powerful blows in equal measure. To make matters worse, he can eliminate enemies and prevent them from coming back to life.
• Starbrand: A versatile character who deals high damage and can apply negative effects to disrupt enemies.
