When former Air Force pilot Carol Danvers was caught in the explosion of an alien Kree device, her genetic structure was radically reshaped. Boasting powers of flight, super-strength, and energy manipulation, she became the super hero Ms. Marvel. Carol soon joined the Avengers, and despite some personal challenges she has served as a stalwart member of that team several times over the years.Marvel Source
[Hybrid Playstyle]
The hybrid playstyle is for you if you enjoy using a combination of melee and range skills. There are many builds that focus on either Melee or Photonics, but a hybrid playstyle allows for many unique COMBOS!A simple combo starts off with Photonic Blast from a distance. When the enemy comes into range leap forward with a Flying Lunge (knockdown). While the enemy is knocked down hit with 2-3 basic attacks before using a Cosmic Haymaker to stun. Here you can follow up with Basic attack + Roundhouse kick (if you have it). Following the knockback, use a Photonic Blast before Flying Lunge again to knockdown.
Another combo is simply Crashdown strike followed by Stellar Flare.
[Brawling Skills]
Mighty Punch/Photon Punch:Mighty punch is your main basic attack as you level. It has a higher attack speed and hits harder than Photon punch as you level higher due to 3% (instead of 2.5%) synergy from Photon Punch and Cosmic Haymaker. Currently, Mighty Punch becomes superior in your late 30s due to synergies.
Defiant Escape:
Absolutely Mandatory. Excellent stunbreaker to recover from freezing, knockbacks, knockdowns, stuns etc. Only one point is required.
Kree Toughness:
Only one point is required due to the way Defence works rights now. Adds a fair amount of defence at rank 1. At rank 20 it gives just under 1000 Def
[Photonics Skills]
Photonic Blast:This is your ranged DPS skill. A great skill for taking down bosses from a distance.
Photonic Regeneration:
Maxed level is required. Great emergency heal.
Stellar Flare:
Rank 17 at level 60. Taunts nearby enemies and has great aoe/damage. Can combo with Crashdown strike.
Optional: Instead of investing points into Photonic Blast you can use Stellar Beam instead. This skill is quite interesting as it has potentially higher aoe if you learn how to line up your enemies. Left over points can be invested in your skill of choice (Photonic Regeneration, Brawling skills, Photonic Defence, Energy Absorption etc). Downside is that Photonic Blast is much better for boss fights.
Note: Energy Absorption is Rank 2 to double Spirit Gain.
[Avionics]
Flying Lunge:This this skill is highly superior to warbird charge because of one reason; Knockdown. Knockdown is very important to the hybrid playstyle, but an additional point (taken from photonic wave) can be invested in wildbird charge if you want a better movement skill.
