Nico Minoru was raised in an affluent Japanese-American family devoted to charity…or so she thought. In truth, to Nico’s horror, her parents were powerful sorcerers and members of a villainous organization called the Pride. After witnessing them murder a young girl, Nico allied with the other teenaged children of the Pride, disowned her parents, and ran away from home.

The depths of her parents’ corruption was revealed when Nico tried to rescue a friend captured by the Pride: her own mother tried to kill her by stabbing Nico with a magical staff. However, instead of being wounded, Nico’s body absorbed the weapon, removing it from her mother’s control as the teen’s own affinity for dark magic revealed itself for the first time. She is now a witch with near-boundless powers...except that her magic can be chaotic and unpredictable. Her powers bend to her will, preventing her from hurting an ally or healing an enemy, but precision can be challenging.

Nico’s abilities generate large amounts of Heroism while keeping allies healed and ready to fight. Her attacks are some of the most damaging in the game, but enemies are generally targeted randomly and cannot be selected.

During a recent live stream, Creative Director Jake Solomon, Senior Franchise Producer Garth DeAngelis, and Senior Producer Rachel Sima from Firaxis played through two Marvel's Midnight Suns Tactical Missions. When they weren't preoccupied with beating down Hydra soldiers and the demonic forces of Lilith, they shared insights into the Midnight Suns roster of heroes, unlockable difficulty modes, and more.

Called “Daywalker,” Blade is a dhampir: a half-human, half-vampire hybrid with the strength, stamina, and senses of a vampire and the sunlight tolerance of a human. A creature of the underground, Blade patrols the city’s rain-slicked alleys, abandoned warehouses, and secret nightclubs in the name of one obsessive mission: eradicate the undead from the world of the living.

This single-minded determination was born of tragedy: Blade’s human mother was murdered by a vampire’s bite during his birth. This heartbreak gave Blade the innate gifts that have allowed him to become a living weapon. Blade has used his enhanced abilities to master nearly every martial art and weapon form known to humankind, though he often favors the smooth speed of the katana.

Blade is able to deal vast amounts of devastating damage with grace and agility, easily alternating between ranged and melee attacks to dominate the battlefield. Especially effective are his abilities to inflict lifesteal and damage-over-time effects on enemies, healing himself while slowly and consistently draining the lifeforce from foes. A true predator knows not only survival, but also patience.
