Creating Cap

[One IV All]

I’m working on my own hero inspired by Captain America.

 

I’m definitely going **Tanker**. My options that I’ve moved it down to:

 

**Shield/Street Justice**: Standard Cap that we all know and love. StJ just seems to have the hard knuckle crunch he has as a fighter. Both seem to go together really well thematically.

 

**Shield/Battle Axe**: So Battle Axe has the celestial mace, that I think looks sweet and a mix between an Axe and Hammer. This one would be more themed around Endgame when you see that Cap is worthy.

 

I recently ran a War Mace Brute and haven’t done Battle Axe yet, which is why I went that route with the weapon. 
 

Of these two combos, which meshes or performs better?

So I think Shield/StJ is “the” Cap set up, but I definitely dig the idea of Shield/Battle Axe “Worthy” Cap as something a little more different and original.

 

I can’t really speak on one being “better” than the other though.

 

I’ve personally messed around with doing a hero modeled around the Cap variant “Soldier Supreme” where he gains the powers of Doctor Strange. He’d be a Shield/Kinetic Melee Tanker.

Battle axe will be a better damage dealer, but will also be significantly more endurance heavy compared to Street Justice. Both combinations will perform well, shield is just a really powerful armor set out of the box.

 

Pick shield/axe for damage if you're willing to work on fixing the endurance problems you'll face. Pick shield/StJ for less endurance problems compared to battle axe.

Honestly, that concept is super sweet! Great powerset combo for it.

Fair enough! Seems like a win/win which makes it tough 😂

I created a shield/war mace tanker and gave him the barbarian warhammer, since it looks somewhat like Thor's hammer, as my own homage to Cap...
