She gained superhuman powers of strength, flight, and the ability to fire bolts of energy. A member of both the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Carol inspires many by living the motto: "We will be the stars we were always meant to be".

General Tactics[]
- Captain Marvel furthers her attack capabilities by making use of Fury.
- When activating Cosmic Blast, her attack deals True Damage, which ignores all Armor and Resistances, such as Physical Resistance and Energy Resistance. This reduces the effectiveness of Champions that rely on Resistances for defense, such as Groot, Luke Cage, Rhino, or Venom, or Champions that make heavy use of Armor Up, such as Colossus, Hulkbuster, Iron Man, or Ultron.
- When her Signature Ability is unlocked, as Captain Marvel's Power Meter fills, her Attack is increased by a percentage based upon the Signature Ability's level. This allows her to inflict massive amounts of damage on each hit, potentially equaling the amount of damage on a single strike as other Champions might inflict with one of their Special Attacks.
- Additionally, when her Signature Ability is unlocked, Captain Marvel can partially absorb energy-based attacks when Blocking. When she does so, the energy she absorbs is added directly to her Power Meter.
- Because most of Captain Marvel's beneficial effects are not caused by triggering abilities, she is more effective against Mystic Champions than many other Cosmic Champions, as Fury is the only ability she triggers which is able to be nullified.
Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- Poison Immunity
- Immunity to Poison can be important when progressing through the game when going against poison dealing Champions.
- Raw Damage
- Captain Marvel can deal solid damage on her basic attacks and Special Attacks thanks to her Fury Buff and Signature Ability. She can also ignore opponent’s damage mitigating Armor with her Special Attack 1.
- Caustic Temper
- Access to both Poison Immunity and Fury Buffs makes Captain Marvel an option for the Caustic Temper node.
Weaknesses[]
- Critical Resistance
- A lot of Captain Marvel’s damage comes from Critical Hits. Champions that can reduce her Critical Rate can significantly reduce her output.
- Nullify
- Without her Fury Buff, her damage output will feel noticeably weaker. Nodes or matchups that can take this Buff away slow her down.
Recommended Masteries[]
- Liquid Courage
- Immunity to Poison prevents all incoming damage from this mastery. You can also save up your power and never use Special Attacks to avoid Recoil damage and still dish out extra damage thanks to her Signature Ability.
- Precision and Cruelty
- Crits are her main way of dealing significant damage. Critting more often and dealing more damage on those crits is key in getting the most out of her.
- Block proficiency
- Captain Marvel’s Block Proficiency is low in her base kit. Enhancing this can increase survivability and also allow you to more effectively use your Signature Ability against Energy based attacks.
Trivia[]
- Captain Marvel Classic's model initially did not have a mohawk. Instead, she had her hair down with no helmet.
- Due to being the same character, Ms. Marvel is a reskin of Captain Marvel.
- Captain Marvel (Classic) was previously named Captain Marvel. When the new MCU-based Captain Marvel was released in March 7th, 2019, she was officially renamed.
