Deep dives
Team Up Card Analysis: Swarm Tactics
Swarm Tactics is a team up card featured in the Marvel Champions game. While it is a one-cost basic event, it is primarily beneficial for Ant-Man and less so for Wasp. It allows the player to change their hero form and ready themselves, which synergizes well with Ant-Man's flip-based abilities. However, it does not have the same impact for Wasp, as she does not rely as heavily on form changes. The art on the card features Ant-Man and Wasp in action, but could benefit from a more dynamic and focused design. Overall, this card is more suited for Ant-Man decks and may not be an auto-include for all players.
The Power and Fun Factor
Swarm Tactics provides a ready and form change effect but its effectiveness varies depending on the hero being played. For Ant-Man, it is a valuable card that allows for increased flexibility and benefits from his specific abilities. However, for Wasp, the card offers less utility and may not be as exciting to play. The limitations and setup required with team-up cards can make them less impactful, resulting in a middle-of-the-road rating. With all factors considered, Swarm Tactics receives a rating of 5 out of 10.
