Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Guide: Best Beginner Characters to Use
New to Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls? These three characters give you the best shot at winning without mastering complex mechanics.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a 4v4 tag-fighter developed by Arc System Works, and its full 20-character launch roster has now been confirmed. The lineup mixes franchise staples with some genuinely surprising niche picks, and the way the game handles team identity makes choosing your four feel like more than just a mechanical decision. With a Year 1 DLC pass already announced, the roster will grow past launch too. Here's everything you need to know before you start planning your main team.
The base game launches with 20 playable characters, divided across five pre-set teams. Arc System Works revealed these through a slow drip of character announcements in the months leading up to the August release window. Every character belongs to one of the five official teams, but the game also generates a custom team name based on your personal four-character selection, which is a nice touch that makes your lineup feel distinct.
The custom naming system works off your point character (the first slot in your lineup). The first word of your team name ties to that character, while the remaining three determine the second word. Examples seen so far include names like Hellbound Mages (with Magik as the point character) and Cybernetic Fliers (with Danger leading). It has no gameplay effect, but it adds personality to team building that most fighting games skip entirely.
All 20 launch roster fighters
Each of the 20 characters belongs to one of these five official groups:
| Team Name | Roster Feel |
|---|---|
| Unbreakable X-Men | Mutant heavy-hitters and fan favorites |
| Amazing Guardians | Cosmic and space-faring characters |
| Fighting Avengers | Core Marvel heroes and icons |
| Knights of Doom | Villains and morally complex fighters |
| Samurai Outriders | Niche and unconventional picks |
The spread across these teams suggests Arc System Works was deliberate about giving players distinct playstyle identities depending on which group they pull from.
Here's the complete launch roster of 20 fighters:
The balance between recognizable names and deeper cuts is worth noting. Danger (the sentient Danger Room from X-Men lore) and Peni Parker (the mech-piloting Spider-Man variant) are the kinds of picks that signal Arc System Works wasn't just going for the obvious choices. That said, the heavy-hitters are all present: Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, and Wolverine give casual players an immediate entry point.
Wolverine in the base roster
Yes. A Year 1 Character and Stage Pass has already been announced, which adds four more characters and one new stage after launch. That brings the potential total to 24 characters if you pick up the pass.
No specific characters have been confirmed for the DLC slots yet, and there are no credible leaks pointing to names at this stage. Given the size of the Marvel roster, the options are essentially limitless. The four DLC characters will likely form a sixth team, following the same five-member team structure from the base game, though that hasn't been officially confirmed.
Year 1 pass adds 4 fighters
With four characters per team, every slot matters. Your point character defines your team's identity in the custom naming system and likely carries weight in how your team is perceived stylistically. The 4v4 format means you'll want to think about how characters complement each other, even before full moveset breakdowns are available.
Looking at the roster through that lens, a few natural groupings stand out based on Marvel lore alone. Wolverine, Storm, and Magik share X-Men roots. Star-Lord and Peni Parker both bring ranged or mechanical playstyles. Doctor Doom, Magneto, and Loki are the kinds of characters that tend to reward technical players in Arc System Works titles.
