- Mantis & Luna Snow: Exceptional support characters providing substantial healing and crowd control.
- Dr. Strange: Powerful defender with a protective shield and strategically advantageous portals.

A-Tier: Strong Contenders
This tier includes powerful characters who may require more strategic play or team coordination to reach their full potential. Examples include Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, and others.

B-Tier through D-Tier: Detailed breakdowns of these tiers, including character descriptions and imagery, follow the same format as the S and A tiers above. (Images would be inserted here for Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Black Panther, etc., mirroring the image placement style used previously.)
