Hello! This is a guide to get you through the Cosmic Trial with Captain Marvel. Note: This is NOT the best Captain Marvel. It is NOT end game Captain Marvel. You will not find the BiS items in this build. Hulkstermania has an end game version here: 

https://itembase.mhbugle.com/build/4037/ check it out when you've cleared cosmic!

Set Up

I capped myself at 150 Infinity Points for these trial guides. It won't take too long to build up that many. By the time you've leveled up a few characters for synergies and farmed some Heroic (Red) Challenges and terminals for some gear you may even be past 150 IP when you try the trial. Worst thing that can happen when you try the trial is you fail there is no punishment. So give it a shot and see if you're missing damage, survivability or both.

Not all end game builds work equally well with less IP and gear. I tried a couple of the builds that already existed and found one that worked well to get through the Cosmic Trial. Captain Marvel absolutely smashed through the Trial. She has plenty of damage, the only way you fail is by dying. Hence some of the defensive options in the build.

Synergies

Ant-Man, Cable, Captain Marvel, Elektra, Hulk, Moon Knight, Nightcrawler, Squirrel Girl, Storm, Wolverine

Infinities

Alot of times my first go to with Infinities is the attack and movement speed node (Remilla does a great job explaining attack speed and the infinity system @RemiFromMH on YT) in the Time Stone - (Temporal Loophole). But since Captain Marvel gets damage bonuses from her max Photonic Energy I put my 150 IP into Mind Stone - (Deep Thought).

Gear

Captain Marvel's damage was plenty high. My only concern for not finishing was death. So I went with  for my legendary.

 Could also be good if you're not worried about dying. The bonus spirit on it is nice. 

I went with Captain Marvel's uniques in slot 2-5. I had a  laying around so I decdided to play with that instead. Of her two uniques for slot 1 I would go with .  For her artifacts I left the  and the  out because I felt that  was easier to farm. If you have one of those two throw it on instead if you want. I also went with  for a bit more survivability.

Team Up

I used Agent Coulson - I honestly could see how Jessica Jones would be better to group enemies for you though.

Playstyle

Our row 1 talent just gives us more damage for our max photon energy. Row 2 empowers our basic punch and more importantly turns our  into  (a punch) that does more damage based on our max photonic energy and gives it increased crit and brut chance. This becomes our bread and butter damage ability (more on that shortly).

Row 3 makes our  restore all of our photonic energy. Row 4 makes our signature increase our max photonic energy and thus our damage and also refills our energy. Row 5 makes our  free and guarantees it a crit.

Basically we want to spam  as much as possible. It costs half our energy. Everytime this button is lit up. Use it. Everything else in our kit is basically there to get us more energy to spam this more.

 - Bound to my left click. Our basic filler. Regens a little bit of photonic energy. 

- Use on CD. Will regen 50% of your photonic energy. Just enough to use a  (which you should immediately do).

- Does not generate photonic energy for you. Does not cost photonic energy due to a talent. Use it on cd. Good for add clearing.

- Your dodge. Use it to get out of cc and to reposition.

- Will boost your damage and refill your Energy. Use it when your empty to keep spamming those punch-kicks.

- Biggest use is the damage reduction. You get 50% DR for 4 seconds while this is up. It also refills a little Energy with each tick.

- As stated earlier this is your main damage ability. Your life revolves around watching this ability light up and using it.

- Its a jump you can use it for some positioning but mainly you use it to refill your energy. Don't use it unless your full or your wasting a bit of energy.

Dash in. Use your  until you're out of energy.  then  again. Use your  to reset and do it again. Basically that's it.

Hopefully this helps you clear the Cosmic Trial so that you can start farming your best gear and move on to bigger and better content and bigger and better guides! Have fun out there.

Thanks!
