MSF: Mercs for Money

MSF players can now use the Mercs for Money team which is composed of Pandapool, Old Man Logan, Deadpool, Deathpool and Daken.

In Marvel Strike Force (MSF), players can accumulate various Marvel characters to create powerful teams to destroy their enemies.

One of the teams that you can use is Mercs For Money, which is led by the legendary character, Old Man Logan.

This is the first official team of the Age of X Saga, which will conclude with Dark Dimension VIII and the release of Professor X in 2025. It is believed that this Hero team will consist of 4 Global characters and 1 Cosmic character.

It will follow the same principle of the previously released teams in the sense that it will have 3 new characters and 2 reworked characters.

However, what sets them apart from most recent teams is that they have a Legendary Character in their midst.

The Mercs for Money team comprises Pandapool, Old Man Logan, Deadpool, Deathpool and Daken. Similar to other teams in MSF, this team specializes in a specific activity, however, this does not mean you cannot use them for other activities.

Mercs for Money is a team specialized for Alliance War, but it can also be used for Cosmic Crucible as a team, or as individual characters used for plug-and-play. Due to his staggering kit, Old Man Logan can be part of the Arena meta team.

Since he also has excellent sustain, he is one of the first picks for Legendary Dark Dimension nodes. Pandapool and Deathpool are also engaging choices for DD because of their%age-based Health steal from multiple enemies.

Character abilities

Every member of the Mercs for Money team has several abilities that you can use to defeat your opponents. The table below lists some of their abilities:

Name Abilities
Old Man Logan
  • Wasteland Strike: Attacks primary target for 300% damage and 100% drain. Applies Disrupted.
  • Logan’s Fury: Attacks primary target for 420% damage and flips all positive effects into negative effects.
Daken
  • Claw and Fang: Attacks primary target for 275% damage and chain to 2 adjacent targets for 275% damage.
  • Cut to Pieces: Attacks targets for 250% damage and applies Bleed. It also reduces Speed Bar by 5%.
Deadpool
  • Dual Pistols: Attacks primary target for 270% damage and a bonus attack for 220% damage.
  • Bounty Hunter: Attacks the most injured enemy, ignoring Taunt, for 550% Piercing damage.
Deathpool
  • Fatal Flourish: Clears all negative effects on the character. Attacks targets for 300% damage and clears Deathproof.
  • Danse Macabre: Transfers all negative effects from this character to the primary target. Attacks target for 300% damage.
Pandapool
  • Bear Hug: Attacks primary target for 275% damage and applies Bleed.
  • Poacher Hunter: Attacks targets for 350% damage and applies Offense Down. Heals for 20% of this character’s max health.

Recommended ISO-8 classes

To enhance the team’s capabilities, assign specific ISO-8 classes to each member. We recommend that you assign the Skirmisher class to Old Man Logan and the Striker class to everyone else.

Since he always assists, you can create a powerful Striker-Skirmisher combination with the other 4 characters.

This strategy works best in Alliance Wars as that is where Pandapool will play first and after Logan’s assist and Pandapool’s follow-up attack, he will apply Bleed on the primary target.

When that happens, the enemy will have lowered Damage and Resistance, but the most important thing is that as long as one of your opponents has Bleed, Heal Block cannot be applied to any member of the team.

Alternatively, you can use Pandapool as a Skirmisher with Old Man Logan and Deadpool as Strikers. Daken and Deathpool can be Raiders as they attack more opponents with their abilities.

How to complete your Mercs for Money team

Most MSF players have some members of the Mercs for Money team in their roster, however you need all of the members.

To obtain Deadpool, you have to grind Heroes Hard Mode 3-9 and purchase his character shards from the Blitz Store.

Alternatively, you can open Beta Raid Orbs to procure his shards. Keep in mind, however, that there is no guarantee that you will get his character shards.

To acquire Deathpool, you have to complete Incursion 6-8 and open Milestone III Orbs, though there is no guarantee that you will earn his character shards.

Team placement

To ensure you use the Mercs for Money team correctly, you have to place them in the correct position. We recommend that you place Pandapool in the corner, as he is the Protector of the team and will constantly Taunt.

Old Man Logan should be positioned next to Panda as he films his Speed Bar when enemies attack him.

That being said, when he is above 50% health, enemies cannot stun him or reduce the Speed Bar. Players can position the other 3 team members as desired.
