Yeah, Doom missiles with Morrigan’s AV stuff can really wreck stuff with the amount of crap they can put on the screen. I’ve been using Morrigan with RR log trap assist lately, and i’m liking this setup even better than Strider’s vajra assist if I can force the opponent to approach me (which isn’t very difficult to do with Morrigan). The best thing about log trap is if you have AV up, and you catch the opponent with a log trap, the wallbounce leaves them in a juggle state, and they end up eating 6 or 7 soul fists on their way to the ground. Even without AV, you can get about 2 or 3 soul fists, and dash in for a quick combo.
thinking about running Storm (whirlwind) Morrigan (dark harmonizer) Doom (Hidden Missles) This seems like a real solid team, Storm goes first and she has great movement which helps me get the most out of Dark harmonizer assist then if Storm goes down Morrigan + missles gives her a lot of cover, seems like the missles would help keep people out as well as lock them down for offense.
I can see why a lot of people like Storm/Morrigan now, who else would be a good third for those two? was considering Vergil, his DT assists seem pretty useful and his rapid slash can help extend morrigans combos in the corner.
I sadly had to replace Strange at 2 on my Doom xxx Sent team and, after trying out Task Wesk Dorm and Morri, have settled EASILY on Morrigan (wayyy too fucking fun). But anyway, seems like a good setting for her, but I just watched some of those JJJ vids and, hot damn, gonna be hard to resist using Felicia Buckler assist! Though I do suck ass with Felicia, so perhaps Drones are good enough.
Man, Morrigan goes with almost any team, that I almost feel bad for Hawkeye and his all “TTEEEAAAAMMM” theme he has.
Using Phoenix Wright (or Doctor Strange) / Morrigan (Dark H) / Dante (Jam), and even going with the BFF of choice with Doom, I always feel I have an option, no I always feel I have crap load of possibilities anytime, anywhere. Unblockables with Phoenix Wright anywhere in the screen, complete lockdown with both Astral Vision and Jam session, or if I am repping the Doc, full screen mix ups thanks to Morrigan great Fireball to downward Dash and Strange many verstile assists (sadly I can only choose one 
). Though currently I am leaning more for Phoenix Wright.
If only I like Doom more, I would have gone and pick him up, but I just cant leave the Lawyer and shirtless trenchcoated guy alone, too used to them and already setting up good stuff. Now if only online was forgiving…
Hey guys,
how do you think X-23, Tron, and Morrigan fare as a team in UMvC3?
Assists of Choice:
- Ankle Slice
- Bandit Boulder
- Dark Harmonizer
I don’t think it’s going to work too well if you want a team that covers bases well if you lose X-23. It’s a team where basically if you lose X-23…Tron is left in the dust for assists to help her get in and none of Morrigan’s assists do anything to help Tron get in. Tron is just air dashing with H and praying. I would imagine bandit boulder assist isn’t bad for X-23 for combo extension and left/right mix ups but once Tron has to get out there she’s wishing Morrigan would do more than provide assists that don’t help her to get in or shut down assists at all.
The only way you could arrange the team that would be like somewhat solid for a tournament is to put Morrigan first, X-23 second and Tron 3rd.
Thanks for getting back to me, Jin.
Yeah, I can clearly see what you mean.
Morrigan is the type of assist that needs to be built around the team’s purpose.
Her DH assist is technically an empty assist.
Also, Tron is a character that needs assists to get the most bang for her buck.
My goal was to try to see if X-23 and Morrigan are viable on the same team.
If so, For the 3rd character, should I settle for a character that’s strong without assists?
You could put morrigan on point. I feel like she’s better on point than anchor, since she’s so easily chicken blocked/ran away from without an assist pinning them down. When morrigan’s low or after a dhc is when you start pumping out that harmonizer. She also builds a lot of meter on point and is fairly sturdy with her 950k.
Morri seems to have a lot of characters and assists that compliment her. Very hard to decide. I’ve been pretty much a dedicated Doom xx Sent since day 1 (of Ult), and she fits there quite well. But damn, that Felicia Buckler looks REALLY good. I wonder if Wesker gun could work as effectively.
Thanks for the input guys.
I do agree about Morrigan being viable on point.
@Slottm,
That makes sense pumping DH after Morrigan is swapped out.
What if I ran a team of:
Morrigan (DH)/ X-23 (Ankle Slice)/ Iron Fist (Rising Fang)
Theory:
- X-23 can serve as an OTG for Morrigan
- Iron Fist’s Wall Bounce could help
- Rising Fang helps to beat out projectiles
You’re left with iron fist alone then, and he doesn’t function well without an assist to help him get in. I’d suggest a character with excellent keepaway, teleport options or someone able to create their own mixups.
Yeaa, I was originally placing him on anchor since his different chis worked towards his offense, defense, and meter gain. I guess that wouldn’t mean anything if he can’t connect his attacks.
I’ll find a solid anchor that isn’t Wesker, thanks.
i run c.viper(bk) morrigan(duh) akuma(tatsu) i cant stress enough that morrigan has no buisness having a tatsu assist. As if her pressure wasnt good enough alone.
Sorry, I got confused.
Did you mean that Morrigan is REALLY good with the tatsu assist but was just saying it with sarcasm?
I agree about her being better on point, but mostly because Morrigan is such a safe character and has more favorable match-ups in this game than people seem to give her credit for.
Shes’s even scarier with tatsu assist. She can combo off of it , and if u normal jump n activate fly u can still call it. Ex: shawdowblade heavy,activate flight, call akuma, then tridash down with shell kick…SCAREY!!!
Okay,
I decided on Doom (Hidden Missles) as my anchor.
I just need to go in the lab now to test out everything.
@Karnige,
That combo does sound very deadly!
Sounds almost guaranteed since Tatsu assist has a good chance of hitting you.
You can also shadowblade, fly, call akuma, fly behind them and cross up, unfly, s and start your combo. Tricky stuff 
I’m liking morrigan more on point (been running morrigan>vergil>xxx instead of vergil task morrigan) but I really can’t find a 3rd character I really like. Definitely don’t like dormamu’s play style, task is too easy to read as your last character, and I’d like to avoid wesker if possible, maybe akuma is a good fit afterall, but if anyone has any other suggestions I’m open
I added akuma for viper, but it benifits morrigan just as much. His assist is offensive and deffensive packed into one. The key is to lvl up your akuma.

the reason why id say this is good for morrigan is because she has the potential to body not 1 but 2 characters. ex storm morrigan akuma…what business do these ladies have with a tatsu assist
Drones, Hidden Missiles, Rolling Buckler, and Tatsu come to mind
