Due to a lack of mobility skills, familiarity with third-person shooter mechanics can enhance your gameplay, as precision aiming is critical. Winter Soldier excels in mid to long-range engagements, positioning accuracy as a key priority.

When facing overwhelming odds, utilizing his Kraken Impact Ultimate is effective for clearing low-health adversaries and mitigating incoming damage. Moreover, Tainted Voltage serves to impair enemies, facilitating strategic withdrawals from precarious circumstances.

In direct confrontations, his passive ability becomes invaluable, bolstering your damage output while providing vital health regeneration, enhancing resilience against close-quarters threats.

Finally, don’t underestimate the impact of Winter Soldier’s Infinite Grit team-up ability. Not only does it rank among the most powerful collaborations in the game, but it can also turn the tide in battles against multiple foes or formidable opponents such as Hulk and Thor.
