*"Summoner... I know you are Earth's last hope, but I am compelled to fight you. YOU MUST WIN!"*
—Captain America[src]

**Captain America** is a Science Champion. Being a Science Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mystic Champions but is weak to Skill Champions.

## Bio

Steve Rogers' body may have been too weak to become a soldier, but his heart was too strong to quit. By a miracle of science, Steve was transformed into Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty. Possessing super strength, speed, reflexes, mastery of martial arts and his unbreakable shield, Cap is a leader of humans, heroes, and gods.

## Mechanics

Captain America is focused on two main combat actions: blocking attacks with his shield and stunning his opponents with Special Attacks. His extremely high Block Proficiency combined with his ability to Perfect Block attacks allows him to often reduce incoming damage to zero. His Special Attacks increase their chance to Stun his opponents when he applies Fatigue Debuffs as he Perfect Blocks incoming attacks.

## Abilities

**Blocking**

* 40% chance that a Block is a Perfect Block, reducing all damage to 0.
* A Perfect Block has a 90% chance to Fatigue the opponent, lowering their Critical Rating by *X* for 12 seconds.

*Dev Notes: Captain America can reduce incoming damage to zero with a Well-Timed Block and the Parry mastery, as the Parry mastery at maximum rank reduces incoming damage by 25%. This stacks with Block Proficiency, so a block that reduces damage by 75% or more could reduce damage to zero with max rank Parry.*

*Perfect Blocks are independent of this and will reduce damage to zero when they trigger regardless of Block Proficiency. Also, Captain America’s high chance to Perfect Block works well with the Parry mastery in another way by increasing the duration of the stun produced by Parry.*

## Signature Ability

**Last Stand** - Passive

* The chance to Perfectly Block all damage increases by up to *X*% based on lost Health, providing hope when the Cap needs it most.

*Dev Notes: At very low health Captain America can have up to a 91.55% chance to Perfect Block incoming attacks reducing their damage to zero. This can be increased further with the Perfect Block mastery to 95.55%, meaning less than one out of every twenty attacks will do any damage at all, before considering block damage mitigation.*

*This can make Captain America extremely resistant to damage, but this requires you to block and Parry attacks properly and consistently. Captain America has no real protection against unblocked attacks.*

## Special Attacks

* 30% chance to Stun opponents for 3 seconds. The chance to Stun is increased by 40% if the target is Fatigued.

*Dev Notes: These two chances combine additively, meaning a Fatigued opponent has a 70% chance to be stunned by Captain America’s special attacks.*

**Special 1 - Shield Bash**

*Cap puts his weight behind a hefty shield bash.*

**Special 2 - Shield Toss**

*A staple of the Cap repertoire, his shield strikes true and through.*

**Special 3 - American Justice**

*An up-close and personal view of Cap's shield. Don't blink, or you'll miss it.*

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### Strengths

* **High Block Proficiency and Perfect Block ability**
	+ Captain America’s high Block Proficiency can exceed 75% block damage mitigation. Combined with the Parry mastery at max rank which offers 25% block damage mitigation this can reduce Well-Timed Blocked attacks to zero damage.

### Weaknesses

* **Unblockable attacks**
	+ Captain America relies on Blocking, Well-Timed Blocks, and Perfect Blocks to mitigate damage and to apply Fatigue debuffs. Opponents with Unblockable attacks will prevent Captain America from gaining any benefit from most of his abilities.
* **Purify**
	+ Cap inflicts Fatigues via his perfect blocks, which can be purified.
* **Low damage**
	+ Cap has a relatively low damage output compared to other Champions.

## Recommended Masteries

* **Parry Rank 3**
	+ Captain America’s high Block Proficiency allows his block damage mitigation to reach and exceed 75% damage mitigation. This means adding Parry’s max rank blocked damage mitigation of 25% allows Captain America to mitigate 100% of incoming damage on Well-Timed Blocked attacks. Captain America’s high Perfect Block chance also improves the duration of the Stuns that the Parry mastery inflicts on opponents.

* **Perfect Block**
	+ Captain America’s high chance to Perfect Block attacks increases the value of the Perfect Block mastery. When Captain America’s Perfect Block chance reaches 90%, the four percentage point increase of the Perfect Block mastery will further reduce the number of attacks that deal any damage from 10 out of 100 to 6 out of 100, a decrease in incoming damage of 40%.
