Falcon is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Science Champions, but is weak to Mutant Champions.
Bio[]
A former air force pararescue who went on to work with recovering veterans, Sam Wilson aided the legendary Captain America in adjusting to modern life, quickly becoming Cap's close friend in the process. Using an experimental winged harness, Wilson takes to the skies as the high-flying Falcon.
Mechanics[]
Falcons kit revolves heavily around managing the timing you apply your lock on to the opponent to get the biggest bonus effects and damage you can. Reduce the Opponents Defensive Ability Accuracy by -100% to have them never trigger an evade, thorns ability, or Rock Stack ever again. Use this in tandem with his amazing Critical Damage and on-hit bonus damage to handle many of the most difficult Defenders the Contest has to offer!

Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- Anti-Evade
- With Falcon’s Lock On Mechanic you can have the Opponent never trigger an Evade gain. On top of that every time they fail an evade you get Bonus Critical Damage Rating letting him tear through any champ with a consistent Evade.
- On-Hit Bonus Attack
- Falcon will now gain a Passive on-hit Attack increase against any opponent currently under the effects of RedWing’s Lock On.
- High Critical Chance
- Falcon’s Signature Ability has been increased further, and in addition he now has 100% Critical chance on the 2nd hit of his SP2. This will give you a sure fire way to get a Critical when you need it in any situation.
Weaknesses[]
- Anti-Crit
- Falcon’s Damage relies heavily on his ability to Critical and pump out some massive yellow numbers. Running into a fight like Mister Sinister can result in a pretty brutal match-up for Falcon’s new kit.
Recommended Masteries[]
- Deep Wounds
- Falcon has got some decent bleed damage on his Special 1 and one of his main sources of damage when the opponent has no evades. Get some Deep Wounds going to increase that Bleed Damage.
- Double Edge
- While he may not seem it, Falcon actually can be used fairly well with Double edge as he nearly never needs to use a special attack outside his SP3. Pair him with Nick Fury and Deadpool to get some juicy Regeneration and insane damage!
Trivia[]
Character Inspiration[]
- Falcon is inspired by Sam Wilson / Falcon from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[1][2]
