There are some vital upgrades that can take Spider-Man from a challenging hill to climb to a walk in the park. This update added another three great Suit Upgrade options, as well as adding addition helpful links for interested readers.
11Air Marshal
Bring Enemies To The Sky For Increased Damage
Spider-Man 2is one of the most intense aerial games in the franchise, having extensive air combos and abilities that build off web-swinging and hoisting enemies up into the sky with the player. Fortunately, the game provides an incentive to do this more often with the Air Marshal upgrade.
Sometimes, it can seem that enough is never enough when whaling on a single enemy who just won’t go down. Air Marshal provides a moderate damage increase to enemies while they are in the air; this can benefit a wide variety of abilities and stack with other upgrades, making it a great choice for players later in the game.
10Rejuvenating Parry
Be Rewarded For Extra Risk
There are a number of abilities in the game that players can utilize to up their defensive capabilities. When facing down the mobs of enemies the game can throw at the player, especially at high difficulties, it can be hard to survive without the right upgrades.
Among perfect dogging and webbing, there is also the parry ability, which is a great option for specific enemy types. The Rejuvenating Parry upgrade makes this ability more viable by providing a small healing effect, which can be invaluable during sticky situations.
9Life Link
Am Ace In The Hole To Stay Healthy
The combat inSpider-Man 2is straightforward, but a simple fight with thugs can turn difficult in the blink of an eye. The numbers game is never in our heroes' favor, and as the story progresses, there will be more and more threats surrounding the player that will require constant surveillance of blindspots. Enter: Life Link.
The Life Link upgrade is a perfect tool to have when a stray round or symbiote attack comes from off-screen and gives the player an opportunity to move out of harm’s way before taking a fatal hit. With so much happening on the screen sometimes, it’s nice to have an ace up one’s sleeve when focusing on combos, and getting a random hit to the back of the head could prove dire.
8Double Focus
More Is Always Better
The Focus Bar inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2is essential while in combat with the many enemy types in the game. Focus unlocks a number of options that allow players to better manage difficult-to-deal-with enemies and heal to stay alive.
Double Focus adds an additional Focus Bar from the base one supplied by the game. In addition, this upgrade also unlocks the ability to use two Focus Bars to inflict a takedown on a Brute enemy, who can be menacing if left unchecked.
7Confidence Boost
Be Rewarded For Being Untouchable
Dodging is also an essential part of combat inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2and is one of the few ways to deal with ranged enemies or charging foes. Confidence Boost is a great upgrade because it benefits players bytiming their dodges perfectly,rewarding them for fast reflexes.
Confidence Boost heals the player a slight amount every time they do a perfect dodge. This becomes exceptionally viable as the great number of enemies that will be present will have players dodging left and right.
6Combo King
Keep The Hits Coming For Increased Cooldowns
With the combat in the game being fast and fluid, players will throw a flurry of blows at a single enemy and quickly move mid-air to lay into the next target. The speed and Focus of combat make the Combo King upgrade an excellent addition that promotes the brawler style of gameplay.
Combo King slightly recharges abilities every tenth hit in a combo. While at first, ten hits seem like a big gap, from ground to air combos, this mod will proc frequently and will be well received by most players.
5Aerial Focus 1
Take To The Skies For More Focus
As the spectacularSpider-Man or the Marvelous Miles Morales, Players will eventually take to the air and completely overwhelm targets like a fish out of water with punches, kicks, and web slings. Aerial Focus rewards players for air raving and staying in the air for as long as possible.
Aerial Focus increases the amount of Focus gained from air combos by a fair amount, giving evermore of a reason to launch a target or focus a flying target.
4Webbed Focus
Be More Dominant In Combat
Web slinging is synonymous with Spider-Man, so receiving a bonus for fighting against opponents that have been webbed is a no-brainer. The Webbed Focus upgrade grants a moderate amount of Focus energy when attacking enemies that have been webbed by Web Shots or one of the several gadgets at Peter and Mile’s disposal.
This multiplies how much Focus the player can generate and improves how often they can perform takedowns and heal.
3Focused Parry
Be Rewarded For Quick Reflexes
Along with other upgrades on this list, modifications that improve the generation ofFocus energyare essential in the gameplay ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. One of the new gameplay options thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2is the parry function, which is the only way to deal with some enemy’s unblockable attacks. Focused Parry is an upgrade that rewards players more when disrupting enemies when parrying their attacks, granting increased Focus.
2The Best Defense
Take Full Advantage Of Spider Combos
When taking on waves of hunters, common crooks, and insane cultists, players may be in a hurry to get a health boost but have no focus to do so. A great way to get an edge in the healing department is by using the “The best defense” upgrade.
The Best Defense grants players the ability to heal a small amount when landing a ten-hit combo. This will be an easy feat as long as players keep themselves fluid while engaged in combat. This mod also works well with any of the focus-generating mods in the game.
