Cap IW Best Way To Play?

Sirius111

Last week I pulled a 5 star Cap IW, and I was wondering how I can maximize his potential. I awakened him straight away with the 5 star science awakening gem I got on Christmas(sig 91). I have looked up a ton of videos on how to use him, but I feel like I'm missing something. I think I'm using him correctly, but I was wondering how you guys use him as well? I usually parry as much as I can to get the maximum stack of kinetic potential(while building up power), then I build up more to SP2, heavy, and then pop the SP2. Any helpful tips would be fantastic! Other than that, have a great day!

If you are going against people like Magik and you have an L1, shoot it and let her power bar cross over and limbo doesn’t trigger. Technically you can beat Magik without ever having to deal with a limbo timer, but it would take forever. It’s a handy little thing to use. Also useful for unblockable finale (pretty sure it worked when I tried it)

Also, obviously kinetic charges remove unstoppable from Juggs, UC, and the Champion.

His block proficiency is amazing as well, with (pretty much) 100% perfect block on parries.

Just parry-heavy combos can do a good bit of damage for fights like Intel Ultron where you don’t want to risk getting evaded.

That's pretty much it man! Just make sure you got the right team class for synergies like tech = petrify otherwise a pretty straightforward play strategy for him.

pretty much parry to maximise charges,
heavies to place those furies,
time the sp2 to line ups with max charges and a fury.

sp3 can also be useful as it gives a longer kinetic charge and deals decent damage.

the biggest thing is knowing when to use sp1. as sp1 has 100% DAR it is ideal to use against evaders and autoblockers as they will not be able to evade or autoblock it. great to time it and use it to stop things like regen and unblockables triggering, the bleed will place without triggering maso, the bleed will place on cable without him being able to Degen you.

biggest thing is trying to get him high sig and utilising his sig ability for whatever you are trying to counter.
I love having a cosmic there for the constant armor break.
having a skill is very handy esp when fighting someone like medusa, as she cant auto parry, she will block but you will purify the stun,
obviously you want a tech for stopping / reversing regen
and science is amazing for things like fighting thorns, or electro, or korg, or iceman. things that damage you based off opponents attack.
