Ahead of
Ant-Man and the Wasp's theatrical debut next week, multiple Marvel games have been updated to celebrate the sequel. One of those games is
MARVEL Strike Force which is not only adding the two titular heroes but two characters from
Guardians of the Galaxy as well.
As of this week, players can unlock the size-bending hero Ant-Man through the limited time campaign "
I am the Ant-Man." As
App Trigger notes, this is the only way to collect Ant-Man shards to unlock the hero. There's an overall Event Campaign as well as nodes to complete multiple times in order to earn more shards; however, each node does only offer a limited number of shards. If you do manage to unlock Ant-Man, he'll offer your team various abilities:
-
Scrappy Fighter – Attack primary target for 100% damage + copy a positive effect from the target to Self +70% chance to clear the copied effect. If Wasp is an ally, she also gains the copied effect.
-
Gum Up the Works – Attack primary target for 100% damage, + always apply Ability Block. This attack cannot be dodged or blocked.
-
Stomp – Attack all for 80% damage + apply Slow to primary target +50% chance to apply Slow to 2 additional targets. If Wasp is an ally, deal an additional +20% damage to all targets.
-
Escape Plan – On Spawn, apply Evade to Wasp if she is an ally. On Turn, 10% chance to gain Evade
In this episode of Team-Up Tales S.H.I.E.L.D Medic sits down to discuss how he’s had to adapt to Ant-Man and Wasp joining the team by handling his deep-rooted fear of insects.
In addition to Ant-Man, his new sidekick, The Wasp, will also be joining him - perhaps after the
"I am the Ant-Man" campaign ends on Wednesday, July 11. Looking even further ahead, Groot and Star-Lord will make their way into
MARVEL Strike Force in the coming weeks.
