A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).
🟢 Mantis beats easily
Black Cat Her crowd control frustrates a melee flanker's assassination combo before she finishes it.- Iron Fist Same problem: she can control his entry and escape thanks to her own mobility.
Squirrel Girl Her crowd control cancels Squirrel Girl's annoying mobility while her own sustain soaks the chip damage.
🔴 Mantis struggles against
- Blade His anti-heal shuts off exactly the constant sustain that defines her main support style.
Hela Same problem: her anti-heal and ranged burst outpace Mantis's escape mobility.- Winter Soldier The hook pulls her away from the team right when she most needs to stay near her allies.
