After his rework, Marvel Strike Force Ronan the Accuser has become a powerful and versatile character, particularly within a Kree team. His updated abilities focus on control, support, and the manipulation of enemy buffs and debuffs, making him a central figure in combat.

Basic: Hammer Smash now removes all positive effects from the target before dealing damage. At max level, it has a 100% success rate and is unavoidable, making it ideal for stripping buffs like taunt or defense up.

Special: Judgment now summons two Kree allies (Reaper and Noble) with high damage and health. It also clears all negative effects from Ronan and allies, starting fully charged with a 5-turn cooldown.

Ultimate: Universal Weapon hits all enemies and applies a 2-turn ability block to the primary target, with a chance to block two more. It starts fully charged and is great for shutting down enemy abilities.

Passive: Accuser boosts Kree allies by granting 20% speed bar and healing when they gain energy. It also increases Ronan’s resistance by 30%, enhances Kree Royal Guard resistance by 50%, and boosts non-summoned Kree minion damage by 20%, solidifying Ronan’s role as the Kree team’s core.

Synergies and Team Compositions

Ronan the Accuser’s rework has positioned him as the undeniable centerpiece of a Kree team. His new passive ability, Accuser, creates significant synergy with Kree allies, making the faction considerably more viable. Understanding these synergies is crucial for building effective Kree teams.

Ronan’s passive ability, which grants speed bar and healing to Kree allies whenever they gain energy, makes him the linchpin of any Kree composition. This constant support allows the Kree to cycle through their abilities more quickly and sustain themselves in longer fights.

Each of the Kree minions has specific abilities that complement Ronan and contribute to the team’s overall effectiveness. The Kree Royal Guard, for example, synergizes particularly well with Ronan. His special ability, Call to Glory (taunt and self-heal), now provides more healing if Ronan is on the team. Additionally, his passive ability, Royal Guard Armor, grants energy to Kree allies when he is taunting, directly feeding into Ronan’s passive. The defense up he grants also enhances the team’s survivability, making him a crucial member of a Ronan-led Kree team.

The Kree Cyborg serves as a key damage dealer within the Kree team. His basic ability, Energy Blaster, now generates energy and chains to additional targets upon a kill, increasing the team’s overall energy generation and triggering Ronan’s passive more frequently. His passive ability, Integrated Systems, grants offense up to both himself and a Kree ally when an enemy taunts, while also granting him extra speed per Kree ally. Some players may opt for Kree Reaper instead due to her higher energy generation potential, although high red stars on Cyborg could influence this decision.

Kree Reaper brings significant offensive capabilities to the team. Her special ability now has a 100% chance to apply heal block at max level, a valuable tool for controlling enemy healing. Her passive ability, Hunter-Killer, grants bonus crit chance per Kree minion ally and generates ability energy to Kree allies on a critical strike, further enhancing the team’s energy economy. Her basic attack also has a chance to inflict bleed, adding to her damage output. Reaper is generally considered a strong addition to a Ronan-led Kree team due to her damage and utility.

The Kree Noble’s primary role shifts towards support and control post-rework. Her passive ability no longer heals but instead removes negative status effects from allies, providing crucial debuff cleansing. Her special ability, Imperial Decree, now always calls an adjacent ally to assist, making team positioning more strategic. Her basic attack, Kree Sidearm, clears a positive effect from the target and grants ability energy if that target had a positive effect. The Noble is often considered a must-have for her cleansing and control abilities, and placing her next to Ronan can guarantee an assist and a double cleanse.

Kree Oracle’s rework focuses on his healing and survivability. His max health and the number of regeneration effects he can apply have been increased. His new passive ability heals any ally that receives energy, with the heal being stronger if the ally is a Kree. This makes him another significant source of healing within the Kree team, further bolstering their sustain.

With five Kree minions and Ronan, players will need to decide which four minions best complement their strategy for different game modes. The optimal team composition might vary depending on the specific challenges and the player’s roster strength. Many suggested combinations include Ronan with Royal Guard, Reaper, Noble, and Cyborg or Oracle.

While the primary focus is on a full Kree team, some potential (though often less critical) synergies with non-Kree characters have been mentioned. Minn-Erva’s ultimate charges up when allies (including Ronan's summons) are defeated, which could be an interesting synergy if she is eventually released as a Kree. Vision may also synergize well with Ronan, providing the potential for a double ability block, while Black Widow and Lieutenant could help mitigate Ronan’s relatively slow speed with their speed-up abilities. Scarlet Witch might also extend the duration of Ronan’s ability block.

Certain non-Kree characters, however, may have anti-synergy with Ronan or the Kree team. Punisher, for instance, benefits from a Villain team with city heroes, which doesn’t align with a Kree composition. Deadpool could shake off ability block, reducing the effectiveness of Ronan’s ultimate. Characters with cleanses, like Black Widow or Jessica Jones, can remove the debuffs that the Kree team relies on. Additionally, characters with AoE damage on summons (e.g., Magneto) could quickly eliminate Ronan’s summoned minions, disrupting strategies. Characters with heal block (Venom, Mordo) can negate the healing provided by Ronan’s passive and Oracle, while characters with stun (Spider-Man, Black Widow, Mordo) can prevent Kree allies from gaining energy, thus disrupting Ronan’s passive.

Understanding these synergies and potential conflicts is key to maximizing the effectiveness of Ronan and a Kree team in Marvel Strike Force.

Viability in Different Game Modes

In Blitz, the reworked Ronan and Kree team perform well with strong synergy, frequent ability use, and solid sustain, making them effective and reliable, even on auto-play. At Arena, while stronger, the Kree team struggles to break into the top meta. Ronan's control adds value offensively, but they remain a step behind top-tier teams, especially on defense.

Raids, Ronan’s healing and energy boosts make the Kree team excellent for Gamma Raids. Their survivability and sustain position them as a top raid contender, potentially rivaling Shield. In the Alliance War, the Kree team is a strong offensive option with good control and healing. Their defensive success varies by room bonuses and opponents but offers strategic utility.

Dark Dimension & Cosmic Crucible, Ronan’s improved kit suggests better viability in these modes. His tags and support role may prove useful, but their effectiveness is still being evaluated. Early to Mid-Game, the reworked Kree are now a worthwhile investment, offering more than just a path to Nick Fury. They form a solid, standalone team for progressing through content.

Investment Strategy for Ronan

Ronan the Accuser’s rework makes him a high-value investment, especially for players building a Kree team. His improved abilities and passive position him as the centerpiece of the faction. To maximize his impact, aim to level him to 60–70 and raise his gear to Tier 10–12. These upgrades enhance his speed, health, and armor, making him more durable and effective in battle.

When upgrading abilities, prioritize his passive Accuser to Level 5, as it boosts team sustain and turn speed. His Ultimate (Universal Weapon) is also a strong choice for ability materials due to its two-turn ability block, providing reliable control. Upgrade Hammer Smash to Level 6 for guaranteed buff removal, and invest in Judgment to strengthen summons and cleanse effects. If resources allow, applying T4 materials to his passive and ultimate will further boost his team utility and control potential.

To unlock Ronan’s full strength, invest in at least four Kree minions such as Royal Guard, Cyborg, Reaper, Noble, or Oracle—for maximum synergy. The reworked Kree team excels in Blitz due to frequent ability usage and strong healing. They’re also highly effective in Gamma Raids, thanks to their sustain and energy flow. While they’re not meta in Arena, a well-built Kree team can still be effective on offense. Tailor your investment based on the modes you value most, with Blitz and Raids offering the greatest return.

While Ronan is an essential part of the Kree team, he does not count towards the 5-star Kree minion requirement for unlocking Nick Fury. However, your investment in Kree minions will serve the dual purpose of strengthening your Ronan-led team and progressing toward unlocking Nick Fury, who also benefits from a full Kree team.

Ronan remains a key requirement for unlocking Phoenix, so investing in him to meet the 5-star yellow star requirement will be necessary to unlock this legendary character.

In summary, the investment strategy for Ronan should focus on leveraging his newfound role as the central character in a Kree team. Prioritize leveling, gearing, and maxing out his passive ability, followed by upgrades to his ultimate and basic. Simultaneously, invest in a strong core of Kree minions to optimize team synergy, especially in Blitz and Raids. This strategy will ensure that Ronan remains a powerful and pivotal part of your roster across various game modes, while also contributing to unlocking other important characters like Nick Fury and Phoenix.

Conclusion

Ronan the Accuser’s rework has transformed him from a weak, often overlooked character into a powerful leader, especially when paired with a full Kree team. Previously, he was mostly farmed just to unlock Phoenix, due to his low speed, limited damage, and poor synergy. Now, with major boosts to his stats and abilities, Ronan is more durable and effective in battle. His passive heals and speeds up Kree allies, while his ultimate provides reliable control through ability block, and his basic attack removes buffs before dealing damage making him a key asset against buff-heavy teams.

This revamped kit makes Ronan a vital investment for players focusing on Kree teams, particularly in Blitz and Raids, where their synergy and sustain shine. Although the Kree aren’t top-tier in Arena yet, Ronan’s leadership and the team’s improved survivability and damage make them far more competitive and relevant than before. In short, Ronan has evolved from just a gateway to Phoenix into a strong, standalone character who significantly boosts the Kree’s viability across multiple game modes in Marvel Strike Force.
