Redwing remains Locked On to Science Champions for 20% longer than normal. Additionally, Redwing remains Locked On to Mutant Champions for 20% shorter than normal.
Passive: Falcon's scanning system in his goggles recalibrates each time the opponent triggers a Passive Evade, increasing Falcon's Critical Damage Rating by X until his next Critical Hit.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Falcon's Recon Scan shuts down a Champion's ability to Passively Evade entirely. While Redwing is in cooldown, Falcon's Recalibration will also help him keep up in terms of damage each time a Champion Passively Evades.^[2]
With his second Special Attack, Falcon can ignore the Physical Resistance of Rhino, Red Hulk, and Groot, and during regular attacks, Redwing's synergy additions grant him the ability to ignore part of the Physical Resistance.^[2]
With his Incinerate ability to strip away Block Proficiency and Perfect Block Chance, Falcon gets by the defenses of both Captain Americas and Daredevils.^[2]
By timing his Redwing Scan carefully, Falcon can bypass the Overload of Iron Man, Superior Iron Man, and Iron Patriot, and the Empty the Clip of War Machine entirely.^[2]

Weaknesses

In addition to the class disadvantage, Falcon is a metal Champion and will have a very hard time triggering his abilities while fighting Magneto or Magneto (Marvel NOW!).^[2]

Recommended Masteries

Parry: By utilizing this Mastery correctly, players can Stun their opponent, then use the time to dodge back and start Redwing's Recon Scan consistently.^[2]
Stand Your Ground: Against high level opponents, finding the time to hold Block for 2 seconds can be tricky. Picking up this Mastery can grant Falcon a few extra moments to get his Recon Scan activated.^[2]
