About the game

What you do in a play session

Suit up and get ready for some high-tech action, because Riri Williams is here to shake things up! If you're a Marvel fanatic or just love heroes who rely as much on brains as they do on brawn, the Ironheart Hero Pack is a must-have upgrade for your Marvel Champions collection. After facing profound personal loss, Riri used her genius-level intellect to reverse-engineer Stark-level tech, creating her own signature armor to fight for justice.

This pack isn't just another hero to add to your roster; it introduces a really satisfying 'progression' mechanic. Ironheart features a unique ability to gradually and permanently 'level up' her armor throughout the scenario. This means you actually feel your power growing as the battle intensifies, providing a sense of momentum that is incredibly rewarding for players who love character growth.

Everything you need to start fighting is right in the box. The pack comes with a pre-built Leadership deck, making it perfect for players who want to jump straight into the fray without the hassle of complex deck-building right away. With fifteen signature cards that define her playstyle, Ironheart acts as a fantastic tactical asset, providing essential support to your team while taking down heavy-hitting villains. If you enjoy high-tech heroes and the feeling of evolving your capabilities mid-mission, this hero pack is a total game-changer for your tabletop adventures.
