God I really don't want to do Karnak. At least Blackbolt, Medusa and Crystal are known Inhumans, This is just Gorgon(Satyr) all over again, a background Inhuman character.
And with Karnak I got nothing I cant analyze why his name makes no sense like some other marvel characters.
And.. to no surprise his ingame mechanics are also extremely uncreative. Its just a preemptive based character with a fatal blow attack. Also he got a + to passive with other of his team, so the Inhuman of course this as well is so overly done already in the game and always leads to characters whoa re barely playable as they then have to be played with just a few options.
Boring in every regard.
Karnak is extremely straight forward all his attacks are critical and cannot miss. His second ability is a quick action that gives opponent weak point so all attacks are critical...not very good for him but boost the team damage. Except this second ability he only has attacks.
Non e of his attacks are good, they are just damage dealing with almost pointless debuffs. He will however preemptive attack people from any type of attacks so he got a great chance to preemptively attack at least once per turn. Karnak deals damage, that's it. He got no intelligent moves at all. Pure damage, no real support no defense except attacking first. His ultimate is a fatal blow that deals higher damage then most other fatal blow attacks first. So its a pretty ok move but still jsut pure damage.
He is extremely limited and his preemptive passive is better with other Inhumans further making him more limited.
All that being said he is pretty decent in defense.
WHY?
because he is so straight forward I did a list way back for good AI characters. And Karnak for the AI is pretty much perfect. NOTE: Hes not the strongest long from it but just how badly the AI is coded for the most characters he is one of the best coded.. as he got no moves. He is just pure attack and with the AI chance for increased chance mechanics he of course preemptive strikes a lot.
The biggest issue I find with Karnak is actually not the limitation of him. Ignoring that he is one extreme trick pony, I would say that his biggest issue is his lack of damage!
He deals decent but not high damage. His primary attack which he will use all the time is not high enough on the damage output. As he only can do damage it would be a little better if he did high damage not just some mediocre level of damage.
