** Iron Man and Black Panther, who are the default starter characters. Both are good on their own right (Tony deals heavy damage from a distance, while T'Challa is an agile melee hero who inflicts DoTs), but unlocking other heroes will give you more options in character classes (beyond Blaster and Tactician) as well as tactical choices (e.g. Scarlet Witch, a Blaster who is more of TheRedMage, or Cyclops, a ranged Tactician who provides team buffs). Players also get a free 16 Command Point hero after reaching level 3, but must earn or buy the rest of their characters.

It takes quite a bit of work to get them up to scratch, although 1) these are resources that can be more effectively spent on heroes instead and 2) there are so many Agents that it is not productive to upgrade all of them. As a result, most of them end up as filler defensive units in your base or flying jets for silver instead.

''Marvel: Avengers Alliance Tactics'' is a {{Spinoff}} of Playdom's ''[[VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance Marvel: Avengers Alliance]]'', created by the same company. It's essentially a hybrid of the parent game and ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'', featuring many commonalities with Avengers Alliance (including character artwork, characteristics and game resources), but with significant variations (such as the 3D environment, grid-based positioning and base management).
In this game, the player is a high-ranking ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} Commander (rather than a regular Agent as in Avengers Alliance), dispatched to the Savage Land after time-space disturbances have been detected there to maintain a critical base.
The game is currently undergoing beta testing, will launch sometime in 2014.

It is a threat so serious that [[EnemyMine even villains are willing to co-operate with SHIELD]] and prevent matters from getting out of hand.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: ComicBook/{{HYDRA}}.
* CharacterClassSystem: As in ''Alliance'', Blaster, Bruiser, Scrapper, Infiltrator, Tactician, or Generalist. Other than Generalist, each is strong against one class and weak against another. Heroes have a native character class, and some will have alternate classes available through costumes.

* EnemyMine: Incursions are a grave enough matter for both heroes and (some) villains to work together. The option to recruit some antagonists is unlocked after defeating them in the story.
* LostWorld: Unlike ''Alliance'', which sees the player based mainly in [[BigAppleSauce New York]] and other urban locations, ''Tactics'' takes place in the rural forests of the Savage Land.
* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: This game shares several resource types with ''Alliance'', as well as several more of its own.
** ''Gold'' - There are 2 key resources in the game, Silver and Gold.
*** Silver, the primary free currency required for almost any purchase or upgrade. Earned through completing tasks, defeating enemies and flight runs. Your holding capacity for it is determined by the level of your Vault.
*** Gold, the premium currency, can be bought and exchanged into the other currencies. It is earned through levelling up and completing tasks, and occasionally through roulettes.
** ''Lumber'' - SHIELD Points, Unstable ISO and Command Points. SHIELD Points and Unstable ISO are required for upgrades, while Command Points are used to purchase heroes. SHIELD Points are earned by visiting allies and collecting gifts, Unstable ISO through game rewards and the Refinery building and Command Points through roulettes. Unstable ISO is further limited in capacity by the level of your Vault.
** ''Power'' - Energy, which enables you to get into combat. It takes 10 Energy to initiate an attack, and the Energy Bar is refilled at a rate of 1 Energy every 6 minutes. Additionally, Energy gifts can be sent and collected.
** ''Population'' - Applies to the number of allies you can have (from whom you collect a SHIELD Point daily) and the number of heroes you can own (determined by the level of your Barracks).
