In the Story

"You want a piece of me? You'll have to get through a billion dollars of genius technology to do it. But if you really wanna get embarrassed by a guy who sleeps on satin sheets... be my guest!"
—Iron Man[src]

Iron Man is a Tech Champion. Being a Tech Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mutant Champions, but is weak to Cosmic Champions.

Bio[]

Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist. Tony Stark may be a visionary, but he didn't realize his life-saving invention would transform him into Iron Man! In his sleek suit, Stark can fly, shoot repulsor rays, and access an array of cutting edge technology to combat the enemies of the Avengers.

Mechanics[]

Iron Man needs to gain as many Armor Ups as possible by attacking, not losing his combos, and using Special 2, while Well-Time Blocking the Opponent’s Specials to keep those Armor Ups paused for some time. Once Iron Man reaches 12 stacks of Armor Ups, his Arc reactor empowers and enhances many of his offensive abilities, especially his Special 1. Maintaining those Armor Ups while the Arc Reactor is active is very important since the more Armor Ups Iron Man has the better the Arc Reactor becomes.

Dev Notes: Here is some emergency sustainability! For tricky fights where you’re taking a lot of damage, the Regeneration and the increased Armor will help push through till the end!

Special Attacks[]

Special 1 - Uni-Beam
Iron Man takes flight and activates his chest mounted uni-beam projection gun.

  • Each hit inflicts an Armor Break Debuff, removing one Armor Up and reducing Armor Rating by 964.29 for 20 seconds.
  • For every 1 Prowess Invalidated during this Special Attack, gain 1 Armor Up Buff.
  • Arc Reactor: This Special grants no Power to the Opponent.

TierStarTierStarTierStarTierStarTierStarTierStar 2250

Dev Notes: While the Arc reactor is active, the Special 1 is the best way to inflict maximum damage, since it inflicts lots of empowered Armor Breaks while giving no Power to the Opponent.

Special 2 - Smart Missiles
Iron Man sends his opponents flying with a pair of highly explosive missiles.

  • On activation, gain 5 Armor Up Buffs.
  • Activating the Arc Reactor during this Special grants 15 Reactor Charges for each Armor Up above 12 stacks.

TierStarTierStarTierStarTierStarTierStarTierStar

Dev Notes: Special 2 does not offer a lot of damage or utility but it offers the fastest way to activate the Arc Reactor since it grants so many Armor Ups, and possibly some extra Arc Reactor Charges when activated in the right time.

Special 3 - Micro Missiles Barrage
Iron Man shoots a barrage of micro missiles that obliterates his opponent!

  • Gain 7 Armor Up Buffs and refresh all existing Armor Ups.
  • Inflict an Incinerate Passive dealing 10740 Energy Damage over 20 seconds. While this effect is active, striking the Opponent or their Block pauses all personal and synergy Incinerate effects for .5 second.

TierStarTierStarTierStarTierStarTierStar 4076.47
TierStarTierStarTierStarTierStarTierStarTierStar 4367.65

Dev Notes: Special 3 is not as a good option as Special 2 to quickly activate the Arc Reactor, but it grants another source of damage that can be combined with the Special 1. The damage potential for the Special 3 increases quite a bit when combined with Synergies that can interact with the incinerate pause.
