Deadpool was Just recently announced Join Marvel’s Midnight Suns as a DLC character, and we’ll get to see what the Merc with a Mouth can do in-game via a new gameplay showcase. The showcase highlights Deadpool’s abilities and gives players an idea of his overall playstyle.
Deadpool’s kit mainly revolves around his resource called “En Fuego”. Here is the full display:

En Fuego is a meter-based resource that you can build by teaming up with an enemy using their abilities. Once the gauge fills up, you get a stack of En Fuego, which resets the counter. Deadpool’s abilities are boosted based on how many En Fuego stacks you have, so your goal is to get as many En Fuego stacks as possible to maximize his potential damage output.
Since Deadpool’s kit revolves around him taking all the glory, you’ll want to build a team that provides support while Deadpool handles the damage department. This does mean that you won’t be able to just run someone alongside Deadpool if you want to maximize his damage potential, so keep that in mind.
Another useful feature that Deadpool has is his passive called “Stay Alive”. It can be unlocked by befriending Deadpool, and it allows Deadpool to heal 15% of his maximum health each round. The second level of this passive further increases healing by 5% per En Fuego stack, so you’ll really want to max out those stacks not only for damage, but also for survivability.
Deadpool is set to launch on January 25th in Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
