Download and play Superior now
When you’re living in an endless time loop, trying to save the world from a destruction that already happened at the hands of the now ruthless superheroes that used to look out for you, picking the right weapons is always important.
In an ironic twist of justice, the chief weapons used by the Resistance against the power-crazed super villains are their own powers turned against them. With the help of the robot Bartender and a complicated Juice extraction/injection system, each mission gives you a chance to power up with certain powers collected from the dead bodies of previously slain superheroes. The whole process is pretty unpredictable, but what have you got to lose?
“It’s better than the old method. That one used a suppository.”
-The Bartender
Every vial of Juice results in a single new superpower for the round when you visit the Juice Injector in the bar. You’ll get your pick–One of three powers, unless you use a Reroll, then you’ll get three new random choices.
Powers 101
Skill will only get you so far when the baddies start swarming. That’s why it’s crucial to select powers that will continually enhance your ability to smash and bash greater numbers of enemies.
The most important powers are those that enhance your primary abilities of Jump, Dash and Attack.
You can hold one power per round within each of those primary abilities. For example, Xeno Cycle is a Dash power that transforms you into a motorcycle form that speeds through enemies to cause immense damage as you run them down. Fire Jump is of course a Jump power that shoots flames from your feet, allowing you to jetpack around and burn enemies on the ground. Ghost Jump lets you teleport upward and hover for a time.
You’ll notice that each of the powers listed above are part of a different family. You’ll almost always get more from your combined powers by stacking new powers from the same families, but as you play more, you’ll also start to notice interesting ways in which different power families can work together in deadly combos.
Power Families
- Fire
- Ice
- Shock
- Xeno
- Ghost
- Force
At the bar’s Upgrade Station, you’ll often find upgrades that enhance various stats based on which power families you’re running in that round. You can buy those upgrades for Credits, which you’ll collect during the round.
Once you’ve injected a primary power from a particular family, you’ll start to see more specialized power upgrades that will work together with the powers you’ve already collected. In the example above, Feast is a Xeno ability that lets you permanently gain health when you kill 7 enemies within 5 seconds. WIth Xeno abilities, such massacres are simpler than they seem.
You’ll also have opportunities to grab powers that enhance your proficiency with certain types of weapons by attaching super powers to them. For example, Burning Shot will inflict Burn on targets of your Precision Weapons like pistols and certain rifles.
Experiment and Find Your Power Groove
There are ideal strategies for every one of the endless power combos you’ll come across in the game. If you’re having a hard time in a round, always ask yourself if it’s due to a poor combination of powers or simply falling short on finding the right style of play for those powers. And when you have an easy time, always remember the combination of power upgrades that got you there, as well as the way you played.
Playing Alone?
Keep in mind that you’ll need to rely on different strategic choices when you’re playing alone or with other players. When you’ve got a full team of 3 hunters, do your best to complement the upgrade choices of your teammates. When it’s you alone versus all the bad guys, just go for the combination that will help you kill the most bad guys as fast as possible!
The bottom line when it comes to Superior powers is that there’s always something unique and exciting to play around with every round. You’ll continually find unique new ways to maximize your score and kill more enemies, especially as you grind up your Skill tree and increase your Infamy level!
