Best Skills To Unlock First In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 builds upon the previous title and gives the players even more ways to take down the bad guys and move through Marvel’s New York like never before. But what are the best skills in the game that you should be unlocking first? With so many options to choose and skill trees to pick from, you might find yourself confused.

Most if not all the skills will prove beneficial but some can make you stronger in the early game itself or even make navigating much easier. So in this guide below, we will be mentioning all the skills in Spider-Man 2 that you should unlock first to dominate right out of the gate.

Best Skills In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 That You Should Unlock First

Since we now have two playable characters in this game, both Peter Parker and Miles Morales have their own skill trees. However, there is also a Shared skill tree that will unlock skills for both Peter and Miles simultaneously. So, we will be showing the best skills to unlock for each separately, as well as the best ones to unlock in the Shared skill tree.

Best Skills For Peter Parker

Peter Parker now gains new abilities in the form of his new Iron Spider Legs and also the new Symbiote Suit. When it comes to the best skills to unlock for Peter in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, these are the ones you should go for first:

SkillDescription
Spider RushPress L1 and the triangle button together to push yourself forward, damaging enemies along the path.
Spider ShockPress L1 and the circle button that will shoot out electrified web lines to shock enemies and leave them in a vulnerable attack.
Symbiote StrikePress L1 and the triangle button that will launch Spider-Man towards enemies, gathering them up and finally throwing them into the air.
Symbiote YankPress L1 and X together to get hold of several enemies and pull them towards you.
Surge: Ready to GlowAs soon as you use a full Surge bar, abilities are fully recharged.

With Peter Parker, the Symbiote Skills are certainly way stronger than any other skills, especially compared to the other side of this skill tree which is all about the Iron Spider legs. Spider-Rush can also be further improved by unlocking several variants of it like Spider Rush: Tornado or Spider Rush: Express Webbing.

Best Skills For Miles Morales

While Peter Parker has new stuff to play with, Miles still works with his venom-charged electric powers but he has learned some flashy new moves that are arguably still much cooler than Peter’s. Here are Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 best skills to unlock first for Miles:

SkillDescription
Venom Punch: Concentrated ForceThis will make Venom Punch through a force in a cone from the primary target, shoving back any enemy caught in it.
Venom Smash: JoltWhen you use a Venom Smash, press L1 and the circle button again to launch the enemies into the air.
Chain Lightning: Power OverwhelmingUnlocking this will increase the number of people affected by Chain Lightning from 3 to 6.
Bio-SiphonUnlocking this will allow you to recharge your abilities slightly when you attack and hit Venom Stunned enemies.
Reverse Flux: BoostIf Reverse Flux pulls 4 or more enemies in, as soon as they hit, they will create three lightning bolts that will strike additional targets.

Miles Morales certainly has some incredibly in-depth skills that work in tandem with each other. With the electric abilities, Miles is a crowd control natural and great for chaining combos easily. Bio-Siphon is an interesting ability but it can be more powerful when you unlock Venom Clouds (requires Bio-Siphon) after it which can heal you without using any heals.

Best Shared Skills

Peter and Miles both have to work together to be even stronger than they can be alone. The shared skills focus on general skills that will make both of them stronger. Here are the best skills to unlock in the Shared skill tree:

SkillDescription
Wall ThrashWhen an enemy is up against a wall, repeatedly press the square button to throw a flurry of blows.
Directional YankHold the triangle button and then press either L2 or R2 to pull and drag the enemy sideways. You can use this to slam them against objects and structures.
Heavy LiftingWith this unlocked, you can now throw Brute enemies that have been webbed up, electrified, or Venom Stunned. Directional Yank will also work on them.
Loop de LoopWhile you are diving in NYC, press and hold R2 to “perform a super-kinetic loop maneuver,” which will provide an extra boost of speed.
Combo ResupplyYou will have the possibility of getting a free gadget show when you conclude a 4-hit melee combo.

Those are all the best skills to unlock first in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. If you are interested in more guides and articles like this, check out our section for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
