[1.3] Frequently Asked Questions
================================

The following questions are the ones most frequently asked via email or on 
the GameFAQs X-Men Legends message board. Look here first, if you're having 
a specific problem.

Q1) How many X-Men are playable?

A1) Count 'em from the ToC above. There are 15 playable X-Men; although, 
one, Prof X, is only playable in one mission.


Q2) I'm having trouble rescuing the crewmen from the Arbiter!

A2) First, don't save at the Galley Xtraction point if you don't have much 
time left! Second, be sure to seal up all the leaks; they're marked for you 
on your auto-map.


Q3) How do I beat the Sentinels?

A3) Nightcrawler + Teleport Frenzy + Hammer of Nimrod = dead Sentinel. If 
you're not high enough level to use HoN yet, Wolverine's Brutal Slash is 
remarkably effective.


Q4) I'm out of health packs and don't have enough money to buy more.

A4) Play a Danger Room scenario that you have not completed. You can use 
this same method to earn money, collect energy packs and equipment, etc.


Q5) What's the maximum level for the X-Men?

A5) Forty-five (45).


Q6) My team is constantly being beaten. What's the best team for (insert 
mission here)?

A6) The best team is usually Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey and a tank 
(Wolverine early, Colossus later). However, unless your team is composed of 
just Emma, Jubilee and Beast, you've got a fighting chance in any mission. 
If you keep dying, try these combat tips:

 - Don't charge ahead. Advance slowly, and, if you get mobbed, retreat the
   way you came, drawing a few enemies after you. Keep AI-controlled X-Men
   near by using the L button (Call Team) frequently. Don't let them charge
   ahead and trigger more mobs. Consider using Jubilee (Photo Flash) or
   Emma Frost (Confuse or Fear) for controlling large crowds.

 - Always be aware of rejuvenation units and take them out first (i.e.
   Morlock Goths, Acolyte Adepts)

 - Learn to hit power combos and always have Cyclops or Storm or both
   on your team (with leveled up Leadership skill) to increase the
   damage done by combos

 - Learn to read the enemies' resistances and concentrate on hitting them
   with other types of damage. I.e. don't expect Jean's Psychic Shout to
   have much effect on Sentinels.


Q7) I'm stuck! Something's blocking my way and I can't go around.

A7) Yes, you can go around. You can always go around. Just search a little 
harder. Try hitting a few nearby walls to see if they're breakable.


Q8) Can you play as (insert enemy mutant here)?

A8) Only in Skirmish or Sparring mode. In Story Mode, you are limited to 
the 15 X-Men listed in the ToC above.


Q9) I beat the game; how do I change costumes?

A9) Press X (Skin) in any team select character screen (at beginning of a 
mission or when using Change Team at an Xtraction point). In other words, 
you can't change costumes until you get most of the way through the first 
mission.


Q10) Do I keep my comics, sketch books and X-Men levels when I start a new 
game?

A10) No. Every game plays exactly the same way. You can use the Review 
option from the main menu to view all previously unlocked load screens, 
cinematics, concept art and comics. In the game itself, you still have to 
start at level one with all X-Men, unlock the X-Men in the same order, find 
all the comics, DR discs and sketch books, etc.


Q11) I missed a Danger Room disc. Now what do I do?

A11) If it was one of the standard (i.e. not the Challenge or Nightmare 
discs) scenarios, it will eventually show up in Healer's shop and you can 
buy it. You may also get any DR disc from Healer's Grab Bag, but trying 
over and over again to get one can be frustratingly tedious.


Q12) I've unlocked all 15 characters, and there's still an empty slot in my 
team selection screen. Who is the missing X-Man?

A12) Prof X. That's his slot for when he's playable during the first Astral 
Plane mission.


Q13) What's the best way to use (insert X-Man here)?

A13) General leveling and tactics tips are covered in this guide. For more 
exhaustive information on using each mutant, refer to the GameFAQs FAQ page 
for X-Men Legends. As of this writing, every X-Man has an individual guide 
with the exception of Rogue, Jubilee and Prof X (who doesn't really need 
his own guide).
