D.11.b) Commentary
------------------
If you build Nightcrawler correctly, you can almost beat the game with him 
solo. Yes, he's that good. Of course, he's not really so invaluable until 
you reach Level 28 and can pick up Teleport Frenzy--especially if you 
exploit the bug that keeps Frenzy from costing any energy if you don't have 
any points in Teleport Attack. Nightcrawler in a Frenzy is (almost) 
unstoppable. The only thing that will slow him down is--literally--a Slow 
effect (produced by some traps and enemies).

The real beauty of Teleport Frenzy (and the Xtreme version, Master of 
Chaos) is that all the attacks will be directed against one target if there 
is only one target available. This makes both powers very useful against 
bosses. The problem with Frenzy is it is affected by the range of Teleport. 
If you have Teleport maxed out with the 60ft range, Nightcrawler might 
Frenzy clear into another area and trigger more enemies. You don't want 
that, so keep Teleport at 40ft or under.

Kurt's sword skills are not quite as good as his teleport attacks, but 
they're still strong. Divine Blades is the best and stays that way. Though 
per attack it is less than Piercing Strike, if you can land all three or 
four attacks on one target, it is far more damaging. Also, since it's 
physical damage, not bleed damage, Divine Blades is extremely destructive--
great for taking out computer consoles and the like. Plus, all the damage 
happens now rather than several seconds into the future. That's less time 
your enemies spend hitting on you.

Sword Whirlwind is not that good as Nightcrawler is hard to control while 
he's spinning and the power uses a lot of energy. And, if you're traveling 
with a knockback specialist like Storm or Jean, you won't hit anything 
anyway. A few points of Shadow Master can help Kurt early, but once you get 
Frenzy, no one's going to hit him anyway. Worship isn't that helpful of a 
boost, especially since it will drain so much of Nightcrawler's power.

Buy a rank of Leap of Faith if you will be leaving Kurt on AI control, 
otherwise, don't bother. Critical Strike is a necessity to pump up the 
damage from the teleport attacks.

Buy:
* Divine Blades: keep maxed early, and throw some more points in later
* Teleport: two or three ranks at most
* Teleport Frenzy: keep maxed
* Master of Chaos: keep maxed
* Shadow Master: few points here and there
* Sword Mastery: lots of points early, fewer late in the game
* Teleport Mastery: keep maxed
* Uncanny Reflexes: keep maxed
* Leap of Faith: one point if the computer will be controlling Kurt
* Critical Strike: keep maxed

Don't Buy:
* Teleport Attack: Frenzy is more useful, and you can exploit a bug if
                   you don't buy Attack
* Piercing Strike: Bleed damage just isn't that useful
* Sword Whirlwind: Too expensive for the benefit
* Disappearing Act: Not very useful
* Worship: short-lived, costs too much, not much benefit
* Block: don't need it

AI Power:
* Divine Blades early, Teleport Frenzy late

D.12.b) Commentary
------------------
For a cripple, Prof X sure moves fast. Xavier is one of the fastest movers 
on the team, and his Clairvoyance skill only increases that. Since the 
party essentially moves at the rate of the player-controlled character, 
using Prof X with Clairvoyance will have you skipping through maps in no 
time at all. Top it off with a small, but decent collection of offensive 
powers and Prof X is no slouch.

Buy:
* Cleave: best offensive power
* Psychic Shock: resurrects enemies and allies
* Telepathic Link: good boost for team
* Clairvoyance: makes an already fast character even faster
* Leadership: for that little extra leveling
* Mutant Master: to keep him spamming powers

Don't Buy
* Anything else

D.14.b) Commentary
------------------
Well, there's really not a lot to like here. Rogue is slow, does less 
damage than other tanks, has some completely useless skills and one skill 
that could be useful but is glitched so you don't ever want to touch it. 
About all Rogue can do is be a Mighty character that can also fly, which is 
useful in a couple of situations. And, once you unlock Iron Man, he can do 
the same thing.

Smash is Rogue's only decent offensive power. Power Theft isn't as useful 
as Rogue's power stealing skill from XML1 and, considering the number of 
non-mutants you face in the game, it's of limited usefulness. Manic Slam 
and Reflective Aura are good Xtremes, but RA takes a lot of skill points to 
level up.

Heal is glitched. While it is supposed to remove harmful effects (debuffs), 
it also removes beneficial effects (buffs), so you can't use it. Southern 
Shout is OK, but Hardened and Prism Shield are not that great--you can get 
better boosts from equipment.

Buy:
* Smash: only good offensive power, keep maxed
* Tremor: stun effect gives you some crowd control ability
* Manic Slam: useful against mobs of mutants, especially rejuvenators
* Reflective Aura: basically makes Rogue invincible
* Southern Shout: good boost for the team
* Critical Strike: get more mileage from your attacks
* Might
* Flight: just one rank

Don't Buy:
* Bedazzle: debuffs aren't any good
* Power Theft: doesn't work as well as in XML1
* Heal: glitch causes it to remove buffs from team
* Hardened/Prism Shield: get better boosts from equipment


Stats
-----
At level  1: 20 Body, 8 Focus,  24 Strike, 16 Speed
At level 99: 69 Body, 8 Focus, 147 Strike, 41 Speed
Max: Body 298, Focus 255, Strike 310, Speed 274

Build:
* 1/2 Strike
* 1/4 Speed
* 1/8 each Body and Focus

D.15: Sabretooth
=================

Sabretooth is available only in the PC version of XML2. He does not need to 
be unlocked.

D.15.a) Skills
--------------
D.15.a.i -  Talon Slice (Melee)
D.15.a.ii -  Talon Slash (Melee): Requires Level 7, Talon Slice
D.15.a.iii -  Bleeding Talons (Melee): Requires Level 14, Talon Slice
D.15.a.iv -  Talon Rage (Melee): Requires Level 21, Talon Slash
D.15.a.v -  Deadly Lunge (Charge): Requires Level 28, Bleeding Talons
D.15.a.vi -  Talon Fury (Melee): Requires Level 28, Talon Rage
D.15.a.vii -  Slash and Bash (Radial, Xtreme): Requires Level 15
D.15.a.viii -  Regeneration Overdrive (Boost, Xtreme): Requires Level 20
D.15.a.ix -  Feral Rampage (Boost)
D.15.a.x -  Roar (Debuff): Requires Level 14, Feral Rampage
D.15.a.xi -  Block (Ability): Requires Level 7
D.15.a.xii -  Talon Mastery (Passive)
D.15.a.xiii -  Enhanced Senses (Passive)
D.15.a.xiv -  Strong Willed (Passive)
D.15.a.xv -  Regeneration (Passive)
D.15.a.xvi -  Might (Ability)

All Sabretooth's skills are exact duplicates of Wolverine's skills, so 
they'll not be reproduced here. The only difference between the two is 
Sabretooth does not begin the game with a point in Talon Slice as Wolverine 
does Feral Slash. Thus, Sabretooth must be increased to level 2 in order to 
use any powers. Otherwise, Sabretooth is just Wolverine with a different 
character model and voice actor.
