As a damage dealer, the Scarlet Witch has massive board-clearing potential with her simple attacks alone. Tack on Detonate+ and Chaos Reigns+ for a complete clear of every minion the game throws out there. Since she's got Marked and Quick attacks, players should still have plenty of moves to use against these larger targets.

Aside from her legendary card, the Scarlet Witch doesn't exactly have a card that excels at single-target damage. Given that this card also kills her, it's best to not use it generally, even after beating the Scarlet Witch's challenge mission. Focus on group damage and let the rest of the team and combo cards handle the bosses and elites.

For even more power in combat, modding these cards requires a bit of luck for an ideal advantage, but any boost at all can't hurt.

Marvel's Midnight Suns is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
