The first DLC* for Marvel Midnight Sun will be released on January 26th. You probably already know that The Good, the Bad and the Undead adds Deadpool to the list of playable Marvel heroes, a**, but did you know that it also tells how and why Merck Dead Boca joined the team? Did you know that he uses the unique resource “On Fire” on the battlefield, or that his food truck is parked right outside the monastery? Read on to find out more!
Deadpool has his own story missions
Deadpool joins forces with the Midnight Suns after meeting Hunter (and the Hydra forces, the vampires, and the Red Skull's granddaughter Sin) when he tries too late to secretly release an artifact from the New York Museum of Art. The story of this failed heist and subsequent encounters with vampire enemies is set during a series of new missions in which Deadpool, fully aware that he is in a video game, takes things far less seriously than his rookie allies.
“You should expect Deadpool to break the fourth wall frequently, both in and out of combat,” says creative director Jake Solomon. "It's like playing a game with a chatty but sweet friend."
It's worth noting that while Deadpool's story is separate from the main campaign, you can include him in a team for any mission once he's on your hero roster. And this is necessary not only because his jokes are brilliantly voiced by Nolan North, but also because ...
Deadpool can deal a lot of damage!
Deadpool's unique resource "On Fire" can make him more powerful as he progresses through the mission. Many of his ability cards contain the "On Fire" keyword, and as long as he has at least one "On Fire" combo, these cards become more powerful and/or have additional effects when played.
"If you can make the most of Deadpool's On Fire bonus, it's going to be a 'one man kill' for the enemies," says Jake. Watch as he draws an absurd amount of cards, shoots five enemies, and then completely destroys the biggest and most feared enemy on the map. All in one move.
Deadpool's counter on fire is based on knocking out enemies with his ability cards, which gives him an extra stack on fire after receiving a certain number of knockouts. However, Deadpool loses a stack of On Fire every time he takes damage. So while Deadpool's innate ability to regenerate a percentage of his health on his own every turn means he doesn't need a babysitter, teaming up with a tank hero like Captain Marvel or Captain America who takes out enemies that might taunt him helps maximize your score. damage. Production.
Food in Deadpool's van helps him survive
When Deadpool joins the Midnight Suns, Abby's team's secret base is upgraded to accommodate his fancy poolside food truck. Decorated with a colorful image of a man riding a bearded rhinoceros, the truck advertises "the world's best turdakens" but actually offers something more wholesome, though not as delicious.
“The Deadpool food truck upgrade lets you discard cards from your hand one at a time to make a move,” Jake explains. "It helps a lot in positioning and using the environment during tactical missions, and Deadpool doesn't have to be on a mission for your team to use him!"
In addition, if you upgrade the Food Truck, you will gain momentum and move when you drop the card, allowing you to push the enemy into danger and distract your heroes from him.
Deadpool is more than just violence and cooking
Like other Midnight Suns heroes, Deadpool can rest in and around the abbey between missions, and if you want to continue the friendship, you can invite him over. Just know that due to his fickle and unpredictable nature, Deadpool doesn't like to swim; He doesn't "like" or "dislike" the way you spend time together!
Do you think Deadpool likes to play video games, or do you think he'd rather sit by the pool? Watching movies or birdwatching? Invite him to the activities you love, and once your friendship level with him reaches the maximum level, you can unlock his legendary northern skills and equipment.
Deadpool's arrival at the Abbey also provides an opportunity for further exploration with Tony Stark and Doctor Strange at the Abbey's forge. Deadpool has an idea for "essentially a portable defibrillator-powered energy drink" that, once you learn it, becomes the new Effort Maximizer battle item you can take on tactical missions. This legendary rare item has the ability to duplicate all cards in your hand for a specific hero, discarding all cards of other heroes.
