Iron Man is one of the more difficult characters to build for and utilize, but once he’s dialed in, the results for the enemy are catastrophic. Iron Man has the capability of talking out the entire room and ending a mission with a single card when he’s set up right. With that, here’s the best Iron Man build in Midnight Suns.

How It Works
For Iron Man, the overall strategy matches his personality. He needs tostack all his cardsinto a huge tower, and he can sweep through and eliminate all the baddies with ease. So, the main idea in using him as a proper damage dealer is tobuy time with a build and characters that cansupport him. Iron Man is at his best when he has many of his types of cards in the player’s hand. His play style is all about redrawing the cards he is hoarding in order to get the perfect one for the moment. Iron Man is really the only character that uses the redraw mechanic in the game, so integrally with his kit. Tony Stark’s in-battle strategy is pretty simple, but it can make for some incredible moments.
Start withQuick Blast, Leave It To Me, and New Planto get the card storage going. HaveHeads Upready. Ideally, this is the only Iron Man card that should be played while building up for a big Heroic attack. attempt to use Tony’s teammates' abilities to buy time andspend the Iron Man cards as little as possiblein the meantime. Useextra Redrawswhen they come up to change any cards in the player’s hand. If possible, useSurgical Strikewith 7-8 cards in hand, and Iron Man will be able to chain that many repulsor blasts at one or multiple unlucky enemies. After that, if anyone is alive, Iron Man can dump his cards. That’s where his passive ability comes in.I’ll Handle Thisgives +1 Redraw if 3 Iron Man cards are played in a single turn.

Best Team Builds For Iron Man
Iron Man isn’t especially versatile, and though he can fit into most damage roles eventually, there are some characters that he doesn’t quite vibe with. First off, Tony is ideal withsupports and most tanks. Though not quite a damage class, Iron Man basically brings wipe-out-everyone power, so it’s hard not to build teams around his capability. The difficulty is in having him and his team survive while he collects vast, un-spent cards in the player’s hand. His kit can be tricky, though, and with the right draw or redraw, everything can change for the better in an instant.
So, generally, Iron Man goes great withHunter, Nico, Wolverine, Captain America, andDr. Strange. Iron Man doesn’t always work with everyone, though. Somecombinations to avoidwith Iron Man areCaptain Marvel, who also wants to stack cards,Ghost Rider, who has a death wish, andBlade, who puts off damage in a way too similar to Tony.
