"Summoner, a wise woman once told me that when the whole world tells you to move, but you know you're right, you have to tell the world "No, you move." Now tell this "Mad Titan" to get the hell out of the way."
—Captain America (Infinity War) to the Summoner[src]

Captain America (Infinity War) is a Science Champion. Being a Science Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mystic Champions, but is weak to Skill Champions.

Bio[]

Since opposing the Sokovia Accords, the super-soldier has lost his shield and been forced underground. But with the help of friends new and old, he’s managed to re-equip and remain under the radar; all the while continuing to do what he believes is right — saving the world one clandestine mission at a time.

Abilities[]

Kinetic Potential – Passive

  • Captain America’s vibranium vambraces can store up to 5 Kinetic Potential charges. He will not generate any new Kinetic Potential charges while at this limit.
  • 15% Chance when Struck to gain 1 Kinetic Potential(s).
  • 50% Chance when Blocking to gain +1 Kinetic Potential. This chance increases to 100% on a Well Timed Block.
  • 100% Chance when Stunned to gain +1 Kinetic Potential.
  • Kinetic Potential falls off over time, falling off faster the longer its been since it last increased.

Dev Notes: Captain America gains the Kinetic Potential when Stunned after the Stun applies, so he doesn’t auto shrug off all Stuns when combined with his Signature Ability.

Kinetically Charged – Passive

  • As long as Captain America has at least 1 Kinetic Potential, he’s is considered to be Kinetically Charged, and gains the following bonuses as Passive effects:
  • +X Attack
  • +X Physical Resistance
  • +X Energy Resistance

  • 100% chance to Nullify all Unstoppable Buffs when striking the Opponent.
  • +30% chance to cause Opponent’s attacks to Glance. Glancing Hits cannot be Critical, deal 50% reduced damage, and suffer -100% Offensive Ability Accuracy. This chance increases by 100% against Mystic Champions.

Dev Notes: These abilities don’t stack, they just turn on as long as Captain America has at least 1 Kinetic Potential charge.

Heavy Attack – Passive

  • Beginning to charge a Heavy Attack grants a Passive Fury granting +X Attack per Kinetic Potential, lasting for 5 seconds.

Dev Notes: While this Fury effect is quite short, it triggers as soon as you enter the Heavy Attack animation which means you can cancel the animation into a Special Attack before you land a hit. With good timing, this effectively doubles the attack bonus granted by the Special 2 Attack.

    • Mutant: X% chance on triggering a Special Attack to gain +1 Kinetic Potential.

Unique Synergy: Does not stack with duplicate synergies.
Dev Notes: The key word here is ‘After’. Basically this drains any left over power from the Opponent after they use a Special Attack. Really good against any node/ability that reduces the cost of Specials Attacks though *cough* Sentinel *cough*.
Mutant Evolution Wolverine portraitStorm portraitBeast portrait Mutant Champions: Gain a permanent Passive +20% Prowess.
Unique Synergy: Does not stack with duplicate synergies.

Science Experiment Captain America portraitHulk portraitHulk (Ragnarok) portrait Science Champions: Place a Passive Weakness on the Opponent reducing their Attack by 50% except while being struck by them.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Dormammu
    • Dormammu is a good matchup for Cap, who doesn’t trigger any Buffs naturally, and his Science Experiment Synergy will reduce the damage he takes from Dormammu’s Degeneration if it does trigger.
  • Magik
    • Cap’s Petrify Debuffs will help counter both Limbo and Mystic Dispersion. Combine this with his Special 1 Attack’s Ability Accuracy reduction to help prevent Limbo from even triggering in the first place.
  • Juggernaut
    • As long as Cap can remain Kinetically Charged, he will remove Juggernaut’s unstoppable effects simple by attacking into him.

Weaknesses[]

  • Crossbones
    • Crossbones’ ability to convert Debuffs into Fury effects, as well as reduce Defensive Ability Accuracy, makes him well equipped to deal with Cap’s Debuffs, reduce the chance of him gaining Kinetic Potential, and triggering his Glance.
  • Taskmaster
    • Taskmaster’s ability to resist Debuffs, as well as his Concussions and bonus damage based on Debuffs let him bypass many of Cap’s abilities.
  • Rogue
    • Rogue’s ability to quickly shrug off Debuffs keeps Captain America from being able to build up multiple stacks of them, and her ability to control when she steals Health or Power let’s her avoid the reduction of Cap’s Petrifies.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Inequity
    • With his Signature Ability and the right teammates, Cap is capable of putting a lot of Debuffs on his opponent, allowing him to make great use of this mastery.
  • Despair
    • Combining Despair with his natural ability to place Petrify Debuffs on his opponent can make for a powerful combination.
  • Petrify
    • Cap can do a lot of Stunning, both through Well Timed Blocks, and through his Special 2 Attack. This lets Cap keep the Petrify effect active for much of the fight.
