2 Star Character Guide: Captain America (Modern)

Captain America's Modern cover is a strong 2 star character with beefy health and interesting power mechanics. He is a strong PVP competitor and a powerful PVE choice. His covers don't appear in the story, but are a good PVP award. Yellow - Sentinel of Liberty: Captain America's Yellow power is very expensive, but also incredibly useful. It requires 19 AP to activate at level 5, but it turns 4 tiles into strength 166 protect tiles. With over 650 full points of damage reduction, this can really slow the enemy team. Additionally, it creates yellow protect tiles, so you can use it to set off critical combos, or erase enemy special or countdown tiles. A since each is individually so strong, using two to set off a combo and leaving two behind still provides significant protection. During PVP, there is always the risk that the other team wipes them quickly, and at 19 required AP this one doesn't often come around until later in the match. In the PVE, it is mostly effective for creating critical tiles or eliminating enemy countdowns. Red - Star Spangled Avenger: This move allows Captain America to deal damage and then create a countdown timer which returns all but one of the AP spent. The damage isn't very high, topping out at 627, but the fact that after three turns it returns almost in full means this move can often be chained repeatedly. Additionally, the countdown tile can be created on an enemy special tile (depending on the moves level, at 5 any tile can be targeted) so it can be used offensively. In PVP, this move is effective in conjunction with a stun move, or to destroy enemy special tiles, but getting through three turns without removal can be tough. in PVE, this move is ridiculous, as it often won't be destroyed, and can be used repeatedly. Blue - Peacemaker: Captain America's Blue move is Peacemaker. This move stuns the enemy target only for 2 turns, and then creates a 3 turn countdown, which returns all but 2 of the AP used. Like his red move, the countdown tile can be created over enemy special tiles, an added bonus. In PVE this is a strong move, as it can be used to prevent an eminent enemy attack, and it is easy to get the AP returned. In PVP, this move by far works best after the first two opponents have fallen. The countdown is only one turn longer than the stun, so the enemy can basically be infinitely stunned, unless they remove the timer. This can also be used to destroy any of the story events against a single, overpowered opponent. PVP Summary - A strong but not outstanding choice. Two of his powers are easily countered by PVP opponents, and the third takes a ton of AP to trigger. PVE Summary - An excellent choice, as two moves are essentially free once used for the first time and the third is outstandingly versatile. Team-Up: Weak. Sentinel of Liberty takes a lot of AP to trigger, and Star Spangled Avenger and Peacemaker require multiple uses to be truly effective, which is impossible here. Match-ups: Anyone with complementary colors. Counters: None in particular, Modern Captain America is well rounded.
