Good Builds for Bad People
Welcome to the Goon Approved (mostly) Build Post. If you think your Cyclops could be a bigger, better, stronger one eyed monster then you've come to the right place!


Keep in mind that this game gets updated frequently and things get buffed or nerfed on an almost monthly basis but your bread and butter skills should stay bread and butter for a long time. Basic attacks, for example, that are universally agreed upon as being good will probably be good for months to come.

Not all of these builds will go for your playstyle. These builds are not a free pass for you to switch your brain off and not bother looking at other skills, but they're guidelines for what other people have found work for them. A useful website that's got build calculators on it is Marvel Base.(please note a lot of the builds in the popular sections are just builds that have been around for a long time and are awful because the aggregation there is based on total number of views/upvotes over time with no degradation for depreciated builds).

Marvel Base is kind of crappy when it comes up to having icons and powers in the same position so YMMV.


Please suggest more builds for characters that don't have builds!

Start thinking of awesome team names though. Everybody knows your team is only as good as your name.

Question: I currently have a max grade 4 roll on my damage rating, will this roll scale with this "affix update"?

Answer: Yes. If you had a max roll before, it will scale upwards to the new maximum roll.

Marvel Heroes 2015 Nears

Massive launch continues Gaz commitment to improve and expand.

We're quickly approaching the imminent launch of Marvel Heroes 2015. The press materials are set, the assets are packaged, the servers are warm, the wire is taught, and the heroes are ready to rock 'n' roll. Soon, we'll launch and make new our pledge to delivering another year of impossible improvement and immeasurable growth (surprisingly measurable thanks to forthcoming infographics).

In-game, we're gearing up to unleash Surtur, the epic lord of fire demons and master of Muspelheim. But, that terrifying monster is just the beginning of Marvel Heroes 2015.

Throughout the course of our month-long anniversary celebrations, expect:

  • Surtur Raid: The aforementioned ruler of fire demons headlines an epic end-game event for 10 players.
  • Omega System: Advance, alternately. The Omega System allows for even further character customization and progression up to and beyond level 60.
  • Daily Shared Quests: A new way to undertake missions and adventures reserved for earth's mightiest.
  • Achievements: Accomplish the impossible and be recognized – some are even catered to individual heroes.
  • Login Rewards: Showing our appreciation for committed players by thanking them with many awesome things.
  • Silver Surfer: The Herald nears. Will Norrin Radd's arrival presage doom, bring salvation, or just deliver a cool new hero to play? (Hint: It's the last one.)
  • 365: Days of. Gifts for. Oh yes, we have plans.
  • End of Anniversary: End of Anniversary: A celebratory surprise event to close out the month.

And that's to start!

Our in-game update is scheduled to occur shortly. Check back here and on the forums for the latest up-to-the-minute.

Oh... Our kickoff is going to include a big weekend event, too.
