Echo The Unstoppable Ronin Copycat

Echo – The Ronin Copycat (v3.2) is a 42-card powerhouse that completely shatters the rules of Marvel Champions. While traditional Protection builds are often too passive, this setup mutates your defense into a brutal, highly offensive juggernaut. Thanks to the genius synergy between Stand Alone and Army of One, the exhaustion mechanic ceases to exist: you can completely exhaust your hero during your player phase, knowing Echo will automatically snap back into the ready position during the villain phase. Your defense is permanently cranked up to a baseline of 5 DEF via Innate Reflexes, Armored Vest, and the Ronin title. Because Echo possesses the Martial Artist trait, the Stick persona pushes this value to an astronomical 6 DEF during key actions. Through premier events like The Best Offense... and In Harm's Way, you weaponize these 6 DEF to deal 6 damage AND simultaneously clear 6 threat with a single card.The absolute climax of the deck is the infinite team-up loop with Daredevil: you play the devastating See No Evil, Hear No Evil event for a flexible 6 points of damage or threat removal, tuck the card under your identity using Echo's hero ability, and fire the exact same hammer again next round via Photographic Reflexes. During the villain phase, Daredevil acts as a tactical airbag to absorb the boss's primary strike. The moment she is defeated, you are instantly left with no allies, immediately reactivating your powerful "No-Ally" upgrades. Every subsequent attack bounces harmlessly off your armor for 0 damage, dealing 2 points of automatic retaliatory damage to the boss's face via Electrostatic Armor and Ronin, while Unflappable continuously draws you into fresh cards.
