The real question is why we decided to present this team when in reality we could have 2 decent teams instead of just this one? Her special ability transfers 1 positive effect (excluding Taunt) from the primary target to Yelena and all Skill Military allies and attacks that target causing up to 280% Damage while placing Disrupt for up to 2 turns in the process. The chain will be broken if the target dodges the attack.

Because of that and since he retaliates whenever his ally dies it is best to equip him with Skirmisher ISO-8 Class to maximize the potency of his skills and exploit free attacks. With the introduction of Moon Night and White Tiger, the other members of the Shadowland team have been improved as well. For example, you can replace Ghost Rider with Ultimus and Daredevil with America Chavez. As a single-target damage dealer America Chavez and her team will benefit the most if she is equipped with Skirmisher ISO-8 class. The composition of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Shang Chi grants additional Charge to Coleen and Misty meaning that they need to be killed 3 times before finally stop defending the base. However, her true potential can only be seen in the full Shadowland team. That practically means that he must be in the same team with Doctor Octopus who is the only Hero who can provide Swarm Charged status, but it is important to say that he can be also deadly if combined with Venom, Carnage, Spider-Man [Miles] and Spider-Man [Symbiote] because Swarms second ability than could reach its full potential. Passive ability grants Cull Obsidian Defense Up for up to 2 turns at the start of combat and enables him to retaliate to anyone who attacks Ebony Maw or Thanos causing heavy damage.

Risen from the ashes, the Dark Phoenix unleashes a torrent of cosmic fire on her enemies. Also when he is under the effect of Regeneration his Resistance is increased by 1000%. In my opinion, Mbaku already has enough survivability so any more will not benefit him much, therefore, I should equip him with either Striker or Healer ISO-8 class depending on your needs.

Even Skirmisher class is very appealing since Kestrel will have a lot of free attacks meaning that she will able to place vulnerability and remove positive effects often. The team we presented is the most potent team made of Brawlers (Captain Marvel, Deadpool, and Daredevil are practically immune to Blind and other status effects while Ghost Rider has the highest damage potential) but some members of this team are usually used in other team combinations.

Enemies under the effect of Bleed cannot be missed by this attack and if there are 3 or more Weapon X allies in the team this attack cannot be countered.
