  +
  +
===Weaknesses===
  +
*War Machine deals low base Special damage, relying instead on his Armor Break and Bleed effects to help him amp up his damage output with their stacking effects. This makes him weak to Champions that can remove these effects, such as [[Scarlet Witch]] or [[Vision]].
  +
*War Machine's [[Armor Up]] ability triggers less often than Iron Man's and is inherently weaker, making him more susceptible to attacks throughout the fight.
  +
*Reliance on Armor exposes War Machine to the [[Direct Damage|True Damage]] and Class Bonuses wielded by many [[Cosmic]] Champions.

  +
*'''Greater Vitality''' and '''Block Proficiency:''' War Machine's Signature Ability triggers when War Machine is below 20% health, and having more health and [[Block]] Proficiency allows him to stay in that “sweet spot” longer and get more use out of his abilities before dying.
