Tips for Wolverine

Somebody told me they were having trouble with the new Wolverine game, so for the benefit of those who are playing on hard difficulty (or who just suck), here are some tips that helped me during my play. THERE MAY BE SOME SPOILERS IN THESE TIPS (MAYBE, MAYBE NOT), SO IF YOU'RE THE TYPE WHO GETS PISSY ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING, THEN DON'T READ THIS POST. I'm pretty sure there are no spoilers, but sometimes it's best to cover your ass.

1. Either Health or Attack
Don't try to upgrade both at the same time. Concentrate on one or the other. If you're not confident in your fighting, than go the health route. If you're playing on hard, you should be good enough so I suggest upgrading your attack first. That way you can get rid of shooters quicker when you lunge at them. Also, you health increases every time you level up or find a mutagen, so build your strength up. Equip health mutagens in empty slots when you get a chance.

2. Berserker
All your rage attacks are useful, but Berserker is probably the best. This plus a severely upgrade attack gets your through (literally) anything.

3. Be a Little Bitch
Sometimes, it's better to just run away, if you can. Not every enemy needs to be killed to move on in this game, which is great because sometimes you will get overwhelmed. If you really can't leave a job undone, leave, heal, come back, and raise hell.

4. Get Those Shooters
Believe it or not, they are your biggest threat (unless some big mother fucka or those blue bitches show up). They'll chip away at your health while you fight the melee guys. Get rid of the shooters, and then have fun with the melee guys.

5. STOP! You're Hurt!
After a fight, wait until you're fully healed before moving on. You'll never know when you'll get jumped again, and you really can't count on your healing factor on hard difficulty.

6. Check Yourself, Then Wreck Yourself
If a group of enemies are standing next to an explosive barrel, claw it. I guarantee only one of you will be standing. They are other times where hurting yourself will benefit you, but you better know what you're doing.

7. A Quick Kill Saves A Life
This is something I learned playing God of War, and I'm glad it works in this game, too. When you grab somebody and do a quick kill, you are temporary invincible. Do this as much as you can in between lunges. Also, if you do it right, it's a great way to let yourself heal in a middle of a fight.

8. Let's Do Lunge
Some enemies like to lunge, too. When that happens, like with the machete champion, lunge back. The only person who can counter you is Victor Creed, so go nuts with everyone else.

9. Beating Creed and Deadpool
You're on your own on that one buddy.

10. Counter Counter Counter
Countering attacks will save your ass. It sends one of the guys your fighting flying, which is fuckin useful when fighting near a cliff or knocking some of his friends over. You're also temporary invincible when doing your counter attack. Be warned though, the minute you're done with your attack, someone will attack you, so be quick to block.

11. It's Not the Fall That'll Kill Ya; It's the Sudden Stop
A high edge means a short fight. Knock as many people as you can over the edge. Sadly though, this method won't net you much xp.

12. Those Cloak N' Shotgun Bastards
These guys gave me the most trouble, and honestly, I don't know how you're gonna get through any of the battles with them without damn near dying. The best thing I can suggest is to do your dodge move...a lot. I also noticed that once the guy shoots his shotgun, he'll move around but won't attack for like a minute. Dodge over to him (don't run towards him because his friends will shoot you) and grab him for the quick kill. It's harder than it sounds. Another thing you can do is roll over him like you would the Goliath (the guy with the big arm and shield). Don't immediately attack. When you roll over him, wait a second (not too long or else you'll get shot) and then you can grab him for the instant kill. With these guys, DON'T LUNGE....EVER!

13. When All Else Fails....Lunge
Except for when fighting the aforementioned shotgun pussies.

Follow these, and I guarantee you'll do great...until the Sentinel fight; then you're fucked.
