After dropping to Series 5 from Season Pass, Hit-Monkey became the up-and-comer of Guardians’ Greatest Hits update. He is a 2-Cost, 0-Power card that gains 2 extra Power for each card played alongside him. This unique ability can turn it into a formidable win condition, completely taking over the game. But the thing is that there are not manyMarvel Snapcharacters who have great synergy with Hit-Monkey.

This guide, therefore, explains how to buildthe best Hit-Monkey deckwithbudget-friendly cardsand farm cubes like a champ.

The Best Deck for Hit-Monkey

The optimal Hit-Monkey deck is alow-cost Power-Spread lineup with Mysterio. To build this setup, players will need to combine Hit-Monkey and Mysterio with Bast, Korg, Angela, Beast,Sera, Bishop, Enchantress, Darkhawk, and Shang-Chi.

When using the Hit-Monkey deck inMarvel Snap, the objective is to distribute power to two locations and secure a win in the third through the Hit-Monkey-Mysterio combo. To achieve this, Bishop, Angela, Sera, Darkhawk, and Bast boost Power, The Hood, Beast, Korg, and Enchantress control the board, and Shang-Chi finalizes the win.

To put that into perspective, here’s what each card on the Hit-Monkey deck does:

Alternative Hit-Monkey Deck

For a Control-Archetype Hit-Monkey deck, players can combine him with Nova, Lizard, Scarlet Witch, Sentinel, and Killmonger, while completing the lineup with Mysterio, Chang-Chi, Angela, Bishop, Enchantress, and Sera.

In this deck, Killmonger grants a buff to the board by destroying Nova; Sentinel and Sera supply a series of low-cost cards; Scarlet Witch controls a location; and Lizard counters the opponent’s winning line. All while Hit-Monkey, Mysterio, and Shang-Chi dominate other lanes.

How to Counter a Hit-Monkey Deck

Because Hit-Monkey thrives when played along more than two cards,Sandman is the best counter card. His Ongoing ability forces both players to drop only one card each turn, which prevents Hit-Monkey from getting free buffs. To counter the Sandman effect, however, players will need an anti-Ongoing card like Enchantress.
