All characters in Marvel Mighty Heroes are classified into four groups, and you’ll need to choose heroes from the right group depending on the mission you’re undertaking. Blasters, for starters, are noted by a purple icon, and are the ones you want if you need a good long-range attack. Bruisers, strangely enough, aren’t that good in dealing damage, but they come with lots of health and defensive points – they’re the ones with a green shield. Generalists are your all-rounders, your jacks of all trades, but masters of none. Lastly, Scrappers are your melee fighters with high offensive ratings, and come with a red fist icon.
When it comes to large area attacks, your best bet is to keep dodging those attacks – swipe in the direction you want to dodge in order to do this. This will allow you to quickly evade enemy attacks, and you can dodge as often as you want (or need), as there’s no cool down period for this move.
This will require some thinking on the fly and it may take some practice for newer players, but one great way to get a leg up on the enemy is by quickly swapping your characters. For example, you can counter a scrapper enemy by swapping your existing character with a Blaster.
When you’re on a mission, your score will be compared with those of other human players. Earning additional event points could give you the edge you need, and these event points (EPs) are based on the damage you deal out to your foes. The character among your four heroes who does the most damage gets a perfect 125 EPs for finishing first.
Following the event period, you’ll have a chance to collect rewards, with the type of reward depending on the EPs you collected during the event period. ISO-8 is currently the best reward when it comes to upgrading the skills of your characters, though of course, this would also require you to place highly on the leaderboards. Quests can also serve as a way to help you collect rewards, which include cash (premium currency).
