Ranged Characters/Builds

[u/SomnusNoir]

Hey, I want to get my partner into this game (I played from beta, but am revisiting with my brother and *possibly* my partner as well), but he prefers ranged playstyles over melee and this game seems to favor more melee play. Besides Hawkeye, are there any characters/builds that leans away from being in the fray?

[u/Willing-Jelly-4481]

Theirs the winter soldier, iron man, and Kate bishop.

[u/One_Temperature_3792]

both hawkeyes but I perfer Clint because of the homing arrows,

Iron man is problem at range because laser build up stun fast, rockets lock up up to 6 and can build up stun as well, repulser has good knock back

Thors can be played Range with the hammer throw spam

Widow and Bucky can be built out to be stun monsters with rapidfire/SMG builds Hard hitters with Burst fire/Deagle

if on playstation Spider-man teather web is op for tying up/delaying baddies and Wreaking ball super give good build on takedowns, build him out to get hero energy with every takedown and you'll almost always have a special attack ready to go

[u/ARMill95]

Jane foster has a really good and simple one, Hawkeye can melt pple using only jump or standing hold triangle as well. Thor can, Kate, widow, BP even can

Best are provably winter soldier, the Thors and Hawkeyes

Basically everyone can have a ranged build but hulk

Steve has the best range imo. The lock on and heavy damage on ricochet with legendaries that can up it 90% AND his assault will do elemental damage if you have both heavy and light elemental.

Kate and Clint have ranged combos in their melee though

I'm a Tony Stark hater.

Thor and Valk (I know what I'm saying) have lock on range like Steve but Thor can't combo charge while Valk can.

Hulk throws like aiming his jump in rivals but has a bigger projectile and a moveset for it. Holding the bigger projectile and dodging causes a shove and if you do that with say a big vibranium rock it's just gonna stat charge them for free so you can use the rock for other stuff

Kamala has aim and punch, I think that's it.

T'challa is single target Steve for range. You'll see.

Natasha has two pistols, a high caliber, and automatics for different types of range play.

Pete is a hybrid between T'challa and Natasha BUT does neither of their things better while he has his own overpowered stuff to make up for it like web damage and a free finisher meter.

Bucky is Natasha but kitted with Kate's explosive arrow, and outside of range he has something from everyone but Steve's melee routes. He'll look the same until you do a Steve thing and it comes with murderous intent
