Having two blasters (for example, Magneto) and two brawlers (for example, Wolverine) works
well. The following team is highly useful, because there are times where you will need a
mutant with super strength to move an object out of the way. If you need a bridge formed,
use Magneto. If you need a flyer, both Magneto and Ironman can fill that role. The heavy
metal group is Colossus, Juggernaut, Ironman and Magneto.

First, step into the power chamber in the middle of the vault of ages. Since there is only
a limited amount of time you have to use the harmonic powers, choose a faster character to
do this. There is a yellow meter that will show you how much harmonic power time you have
remaining. Go straight up or straight down to reach the generators. The downward path has
a small maze in it. Go right instead of left. At the generator, Apocalypse will be
waiting. You must beat him up before you can destroy the generator. Destroy the generator
and repeat the same process with the other one. It does not have a maze, and it will be a
straight shot directly to it. Just like before, Apocalypse will be waiting for you at the
generator. After destroying the power of the harmonic machine, he will bring statues of
the horsemen to life. You must focus your attacks on the horsemen and get them out of the
way before tackling Apocalypse. When you kill the horsemen, they will return to statue
form. Then, kill Apocalypse twice to complete the game. Note: Make sure you have a
full load of health and energy packs before attempting this.

Once your characters get to about level 30, use Sunfire, Bishop, Toad, and Gambit as your
team. The idea is to pump up Gambit as much as possible. Put as much of the stats you can
into each ability as follows: Sunfire = Flaming Fury, Bishop = Energy Fury, Toad =
Secretion, Gambit = Energy Form. Also, throw an extra 6 or 7 stats into each characters
Mutant Mastery so that they will recover EP faster. During game play, activate all the
abilities listed above and switch to Gambit. He will be able to run very fast and be super
strong. Eventually he will have +200\% movement, +400\% or more attack and many of damage
and defense bonuses. Also, because they regain their EP fast, you can reuse the abilities
as soon as the affects wear off.

Iceman is the strongest character in the game. If you boost him correctly, he can kill
most of his opponents with just a single hit on melee attack. Distribute his Status Points
wisely, developing more on his Focus and Speed. At his Projectiles Mutant Powers,
concentrate on his Cold Crush, and a little in Freeze Beam and Ice Slide. Do not spend
Skills Points in Boost Mutant Powers, as they are useless. Also, if the rest of this is
done correctly, Iceman will grow strong enough to easily fight alone. Spend the maximum
you can in his Passive Skills, particularly in Ice Combat and Cold Mastery. Get the Danger
Room Disk: Challenge - Iceman, and get and equip his Signature Unique Item, Cryogenic
Booster. That brings a very good trait, Double Cold Damage. As for other equipment, put
some that give bonus to Damage (not Energy Damage, Electric Damage, or Radiation Damage).
If done correctly, Iceman can hit easily his enemies (because of the high Speed), hit lots
of enemies with the Cold Crush Projectile Mutant Power, and will inflict lots of damage.
For example, you can do 500 and even more damage with melee attack, depending on your
level, because of the Passive Skills, Ice Combat, Cold Mastery, and the Cryogenic Booster
Signature Unique Item.

In Act 2 after you rescue Beast on Mikhails Warship, Blink will open a portal back to
Avalon. Go through the portal to Avalon then immediately return to the warship. The scene
of rescuing Beast will play again, and the ship is undamaged. You can go back and get all
the items again. Repeat this as many times as desired.
