To be fair, the Marauder can pull out the shield extremely quickly. It'd be pretty hard to catch him off guard. Also, what can Iron Man do about the Marauder amping his damage & speed and such, or reducing the damage he takes as well?
Fly out of range? Like sure the Marauder can play defense when he does that but he's still at a disadvantage since his main weapon is useless at range and Tony has the superior mobility
The Marauder also has summons.
They can't fly, can they?

Yeah, but at that point, how is Tony gonna actually kill him? The Marauder can just play defense, heal himself, summon other demons (which does include Cacodemons cuz of them being "mid-tier" demons) and likely just tire Iron man out, type 2 immortality along with limitless stamina AND healing with this kind of defense is a bit strong.

Cacodemons, pretty sure other potential summons can throw/shoot projectiles but that's a bit more iffy.

Oh yeah, there's also Pain Elementals, since they're mid-tier demons. Which spawn Lost Souls, which could directly possess Iron Man.

This match is getting fairer and fairer, isn't it? lmao

True, I suppose playing the long game doesn't really work.

Fair enough on all that, I was only thinking of those dog dudes.

Yeah if the Marauder plays defense and is smart with the summons it probably wins.
 
Stark's best shot here is to really just try and kill him as soon as possible because if he waits too long he's basically done for. He could try and fire missiles at his back while also shooting his front so the marauder would get damaged either way. Other than that I can't really think of anything right now that he could do to win.
 
Homing missiles are very good for him here, yes. Can the Marauder summon enemies with his shield up?
 
He can summon the wolf but im unsure about the other mid-tier demons. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have the shield in multiplayer so who knows.
 
Tony isn't an idiot, so he'll definitely think of something to give him a chance.

He can summon the wolf, but I don't know about the other demons.

I kind of hope he can't summon the rest of them with his shield up, that makes this kind of a stomp match lmao...
 
I just checked some battlemode videos. Marauder doesn't even have the shield in it thankfully so we can't say if he can or can't summon demons with it up.
 
What LS end are we going with for the Marauder? If Tony's is higher he can try H2H
 
I mean it's really just "find an answer to the way he's attacking me specifically right now" which yes, is very useful, but not game-changing
 
I mean even if he does go for melee, he's still probably at a huge disadvantage given the Marauder's argent axe and shotgun. Plus his amps give him 4x AP and 1.5x speed so that's even worse for Stark.

Let's just say the Marauder can't summon other demons with his shield up for the sake of the match.

I'm not sure. I mean, it is nigh-dead marauders (the vast majority of the meat and muscle on their limbs) gone that did it. My opinion is that it'd be fair to use the higher end, I guess, though it's definitely questionable.

Maybe going H2H wouldn't be a very good idea too though, as by then he'd be in range of the wolf summon, and any whatever other mid-tier (or baron of hell) he decides to go with.

Also, how good are Marauder's amps????

Statistics Reduction (With the Best Friend perk, reduces damage taken by 50% when wolf summon hits target. With Armored, he can reduce damage taken by 50% for 4 seconds.), Healing (Mid-low, with Team Heal or Healing Zone. Can recover from bullet wounds and explosions), Statistics Amplification (Using the Bury the Hatchet perk increases movement speed by 50% for 3 seconds on hit with a thrown axe. Can double speed for 10 seconds using Haste and multiply damage output by 4x using Demonic Onslaught),
 
This sounds to me like the Marauder probably wins more often than not. 7 or 6/10 times, maybe?

I'll just put my vote in for the Marauder via amps, various summons, limitless stamina and superior defense.
 
Honestly, best outcome for Stark that I see right now is that he capitalizes on the Marauder's over reliance on his shield with his homing missiles and repulsor blasts along with his flight and higher mobility/maneuverability. IF he can use it effectively, he could get a win by attacking the Marauder at multiple angles with his missiles and repulsors while he has the shield out since he can only reliably cover one angle at a time. All of this happening near the start of the match so the Marauder doesn't have time to use his abilities. He could also try to capitalize on the Marauder needing to drop his shield to summon his demons since there is a brief period where his shield would be down.

Other than that, it's a win for the marauder. He has stat amps which would boost his AP higher than Stark and speed amps that would make him faster on ground than Stark. He has a shield that's literally impenetrable. He has his axe and super shotgun so if Stark gets near or even waits too long he may get hit by projectiles. He has higher lifting strength so any hand to hand fights would be in his favor. He has limitless stamina so he could just wait Stark out if need be. He has way too many summons that basically overwhelm Stark like the Pain Elementals, Cacodemons, or even a damn Baron of Hell, all of which would attack Stark relentlessly meaning he'd have to deal with them and the Marauder. If Stark gives him even the briefest moment to summon his demons it's basically game over for him because of the demons he'd be facing. Stark may be smarter but he can't deal with someone who has that many buffs and summons reliably.

Marauder takes this the majority of the time.

1. Stark also has stat amps btw
2. Stark has info analysis which would let him know that H2H is useless and to not let him summon

1. How high are his amps?
2. I'm pretty sure that he'd need to know at least something about the opponent for Jarvis to analyze him. Maybe Jarvis would be able to analyze that H2H is useless but not the summons. The marauder takes less than a second to actually summon his demons. By the time Jarvis realizes what's going on, it'd be too late and the demons would already be summoned and attacking Stark.
 
High 8-C Stark means he can summon other Iron Man suits here, which consist of the previous available models and ones we see in Iron Man 3, in no way shape or form is Tony outnumbered here and frankly he and the suits overpower all the demons with Class 50 - 100 LS on top of their superior firepower and flight.

I'd say he eventually outlasts the Marauder and overwhelms him through the number of suits.
 
Abs makes sense to me, via SBA the armors shouldn't take much to get there, and I doubt the Marauder can summon enough demons to fight like 50 armors at once (Although some will probably not be quite strong enough to stand up to the stronger demons)
 
I mean it's more of a numbers thing I feel, the Marauder can summon enemies kinda fast but Tony can kill them too, I doubt there'll be 50 of them by the time the armors show up
