How To Play As Mister Fantastic
While Mister Fantastic is a Duelist character, he can also be a Vanguard once he inflates and becomes damage-resistant. His powers are simple yet effective in targeting close-range or mid-range enemies.
The Stretch Punch attack can be used on one or multiple enemies at once. Just swing your arm while launching the attack and you’ll be able to shift the punch.
The Distended Grip attack is perfect to use when you want to disrupt the opposition (crowd control) or there are two enemies close by and you want to attack both of them together. Pull both of them towards each other and you’ll be able to damage their health. You can also use this attack to pull back escaping enemies and push them into any of your team’s ultimate abilities.
Flexible Elongation will have you launching yourself at an enemy and hitting them with a high-damage attack. You’ll also get a shield in the process, helping you stay at normal health even if the enemy tries to attack you. Another great thing about this ability is that it can be used on allies to give them a temporary shield.
The Reflexive Rubber ability can make Mister Fantastic resistant to all kinds of damage, no matter how powerful. All of this energy is stored and then shot out as a projectile that causes damage to anyone in its path. You become invincible for some time, but will also attract a lot of attention since Mister Fantastic will increase in size. Use this attack to stay alive if caught up in an enemy’s ultimate.
Mister Fantastic’s Passive will have him slowly collecting elastic strength as you keep using other abilities. Once the meter in the center of the screen reaches 100, you’ll become inflated and have a high shield and damage output. This makes Mister Fantastic nothing less than a Tank for a few seconds. Keep in mind that while in this form, you won’t be able to use other abilities. Try to use the chance to squish close-range enemies but stay away from their ultimates.
The ultimate attack, Brainiac Bounce, can slow down enemies in an area with every leap. It can also help you attack enemies that are above the ground. The best way to use this ability is to keep changing your leap direction to match that of your enemy positions. The more accurate you are in targeting them, the more powerful your leaps will be.
Best Team For Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic can play the best when paired with an ally that can go full out on the front lines or can deal damage from a distance. He can act both as a Vanguard and Duelist, so having strategists is a must to keep Mister Fantastic and the rest of the team full-on health.
Vanguards like Venom and Magneto can help Mister Fantastic in attacking close enemies. Moon Knight, Hawkeye, and Scarlet Witch are some Duelists that work well with Mister Fantastic. They are very mobile and have quick attacks, which is something Mister Fantastic lacks. Strategists like Cloak & Dagger or Luna Snow will do most of the defense and protect everyone from losing too much health.
Since his Team-Up ability is with Invisible Woman, it would be good to have them together. Along with Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic will grow a shield on his back that keeps increasing in power as the fight goes on. This will help both of them gain back lost health in any intense situations. If your team has an Invisible Woman, it’s best to keep using this attack as often as possible.
