Master of Martial Arts Shang-Chi

Commanders, a new chapter has begun in MARVEL Strike Force with the arrival of Shang-Chi. Regarded as one, if not the greatest, hand-to-hand fighter to walk on Earth, Shang-Chi is all set to take on missions using his mastery of the martial arts and excellent chi control that grants him superhuman strength.

Who is Shang-Chi?

As a quick background, Shang-Chi is the son of an immortal crime lord and was brought up to become an assassin for his father’s criminal dynasty. Shang-Chi was trained hard in martial arts, but when we learned about his father’s evil plans, he defected and instead devoted his life to peace. He eventually joined the group Heroes for Hire to triumph for good.

In Strike Force, Shang-Chi plays a Brawler who joins the Heroes for Hire team as its final member. He brings High Health, Damage, and Speed to battles to give each team a big lift. His ultimate ability allows him to use an unblockable chain attack and cannot be counter-attacked. 

Players can further maximize Shang-Chi’s abilities by pairing him with his Heroes for Hire allies. For one, he can turn Iron Fist’s ultimate, The Iron Fist, undodgeable. He can also activate Luke Cage’s new Taunt mechanic: Gaining Taunt when a Heroes for Hire ally drops below 60%.
