During MSF’s Green Goblin Trials, players who choose difficulty 5 or higher need to use City Villains to complete node 3 and 7.
Marvel Strike Force (MSF) is an exhilarating video game that invites players to form a powerful squad of Marvel heroes and villains to destroy enemies.
As you progress in the game, you will expand your character collection, which allows you to create more team combinations.
City Villains
At the time of writing, Scopely is hosting an event to celebrate the arrival of a new character, Green Goblin (Classic). During the Green Goblin Trials, you have to advance in different nodes on varying difficulties.
Some difficulties have certain restrictions that you have to follow to complete the node. If you choose difficulty 5 or higher, you need to use City Villain characters to vanquish the enemies.
On the official Discord server, several players have shared their experiences with the City Villain nodes.

A player named BKess mentioned that City Villains Node 7 is almost impossible to complete on difficulty 7 even with G18 BC. SOOPYSEL0109 mentioned that she is not able to complete the City Villain nodes on difficulty 8.
Players who select difficulty 5 or higher should thus note that completing the City Villain nodes is no easy task, even if you have powerful characters.
Fortunately, there are numerous City Villain characters that you can choose between to complete nodes 3 and 7, however, some characters are considered better than others if they are upgraded.
Recommended City Villain characters
There are more than 30 City Villain characters to choose from for the City Villain nodes. However, some City Villains are regarded as better than others, especially if they are upgraded.
The recommended City Villain characters are as follows:
Character | Description |
Black Cat | She is a master thief with nine lives and uncanny luck. Her sticky fingers nab enemy buffs and distribute Charge to her allies. |
Doctor Octopus | Doctor Octopus enhances Sinister Six allies and summons them to battle. |

Vulture | He preys on enemies with negative status effects while dealing extra damage to City Heroes. |
Mysterio | Mysterio can manipulate his enemies’ status effects. |

If you are yet to collect the above-mentioned characters, you can use these characters to complete nodes 3 and 7 during Green Goblin Trials:

Recommended ISO- classes
In order to ensure that these characters perform efficiently during the event, you must ensure that you assign the correct ISO-8 classes to them.
The table below lists the recommended ISO-8 class for each character:
