And now i'll get into the guide.
At the starting of the game you will have the option of which Archetype(Character and Superpower) you would like to use. For players who can't afford or don't want to pay for the exclusive archetypes,there are free archetypes that are given to you to choose. These free archetypes are: The Inferno, The Marksman, The Mind, The Glacier, The Behemoth, The Blade, The Soldier, The Unleased, The Radiant and The Grimoire. My personal favorites out of these two archetypes are 'The Unleased and 'The Marksman'. But,"Why" you may ask. These two archetypes are my personal favorites because they are a powerful force to be reckoned with,especially The Unleased. I would recommend choosing either The Marksman, The Unleased, The Soldier, The Behemoth or any other archetype that may soothe your experience.
There are also travel powers. The travel powers which are currently in the game are:
Flight - The standard for comparison.
Superspeed - Fastest travel power; restricted to ground movement.
Teleportation - Only inertia-free travel power; requires constant reactivation.
Swinging - Least precise, most engaging; requires constant reactivation.
Jet Boots - Fastest flight; slowest acceleration, no jetpack option.
Fire Flight - Flight, but with colored flame aura.
Earth Flight - Flight, but with a chunk of whatever you were standing on.
Super Jump - Slow walking, fast and high jumping; can't reach all rooftops.
Acrobatics - Run fast, jump high; not as fast or as high as Super Speed or Super Jump.
Ice Slide - Faster and harder to corner than flight; sinks downwards.
Tunneling - Avoid enemies - and lofty places.
Rocket Jump - Superjump, now with more science.
Hover Disk - Fast, flying, color options; no shape options, worst cornering.
I'd recommend that the users who want a quick and time efficient travel power use Acrobatics or Superspeed. Also, as you level up so does your travel power stats. For example,when you achieve level 25 you get faster movement speeds and jump height for the Acrobatics travel power.
