Weaknesses:

✖ Damage falloff on Element Guns reduces effectiveness at long range. ✖ Invincibility from Stellar Shift is short; must be timed precisely. ✖ Easily interrupted during Blaster Barrage and Galactic Legend. ✖ No self-healing or defensive abilities, making him vulnerable to sustained damage. ✖ Galactic Legend cannot critically hit, lowering its burst damage potential.

Strategy Guide

• Use Element Guns to apply consistent pressure but be mindful of falloff damage at long range.

• Stellar Shift is a lifesaver—use it to dodge powerful attacks and reposition quickly.

• Pair Blaster Barrage with Rocket Propulsion for devastating mid-air sprays.

• Keep track of energy levels for Rocket Propulsion; don’t get caught without an escape.

• Galactic Legend is best used in open areas where enemies have limited cover.

• Leader’s Soul with Adam Warlock gives a second chance; use it wisely.
