Iron Man is a versatile unit, acting both as a DPS and a buffer in Marvel’s Midnight Suns

Iron Man is one of the very first members of your playable squad of 13 heroes and can greatly assist you in battle.

The following is a recommendation for his ideal deck of cards in Marvel's Midnight Suns:

---

1) Quick Blast

This particular attack card deals seven damage when casted, generating one Heroism in the process. Redrawing this card will add the status of Knockback and push the target in one direction. It is of common rarity.

Quick Blast can be further upgraded to Quick Blast+ by exchanging two duplicates and 30 Attack Essence from the Yard. The card now deals 20 damage after the upgrade.

2) Blast

Yet another attack card for Iron Man which deals five damage when cast and adds the status of Knockback. It also generates 1 Heroism when played, and is of common rarity.

Redrawing this card will add to the status of Forceful, which is twice as effective as Knockback.

The card is upgradeable to Blast+ against two duplicates of the same and 30 Attack Essence obtained from the Yard. Upgrading it allows it to deal 40 damage instead.

3) Leave It to Me

This is a skill card that generates two Heroism when used. Leave it to me will draw two cards for Iron Man when drawn, along with two additional redraws.

This epic card can be further upgraded to Leave It to Me+ by exchanging two duplicates and Skill Essence at the Yard. In its upgraded form, this skill card adds two Fast for Iron Man, reducing the cost of Heroic cards by one.

4) Air Superiority

An incredibly useful card, Air Superiority can be used to deal 10 damage to every enemy on the field. It costs four Heroism to use and redrawing it will add an additional 10 damage.

This Legendary Heroic card costs three Heroism to use, and deals damage to all enemies within a straight line. It deals 21 damage in its base form, and redrawing it will add an additional 10 damage.
