In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the characteristics and gameplay techniques of two characters, Thor and Miles Morales Spider-Man, from a game. Thor is highlighted for his ability to inflict damage using his hammer, Mjolnir, which he can toss and retrieve, and for his card draw manipulation. However, the speaker notes that Thor’s reliance on discarding cards to perform his main actions makes his gameplay feel somewhat limited and repetitive. In contrast, Miles Morales Spider-Man is described as the most defensive character in the lineup with abilities to turn attacks and make himself invisible. He can also attack twice in a row and manipulate combat scenarios, but his effectiveness is limited by a stack limit on his abilities, which means he can only use one of each symbol or token at a time.

In this segment, the speaker evaluates the characters Miles Morales and Loki in a game. While Miles Morales offers some defensive play and minor manipulation, the speaker finds other characters more engaging. Loki, ranked at number five, is praised for his thematic alignment with the Marvel character, featuring abilities centered around trickery and misdirection. Notable abilities include “Spellbound,” which cancels other players’ abilities, and “Bag of Tricks,” which imposes a potentially beneficial or detrimental outcome on a roll. Loki’s “Illusion” ability is highlighted as particularly enjoyable, as it involves presenting opponents with a guessing game to determine the actual damage dealt. Overall, Loki’s manageable level of interference makes him a fun character to play.

Despite being tricky to play with a difficulty rating of four, she’s enjoyable for messing with dice and opponent’s abilities. At number three, Doctor Strange stands out with his unique spell cards, which can be activated from the Book of Ashanti and cycled through to trigger various effects, reminiscent of the Krampus set in a Santa Claus versus Krampus game. His versatility and ability to disrupt opponents’ actions make him a compelling character.
