Best Skill to Buy First in Spider-Man: Miles Morales
While all of the skills are pretty useful in the game, the ultimate choice ultimately boils down to your own preference of how you play the game. Before investing in these skills, you first have to find out which gameplay style you like the most. Do you prefer stealth, or do you prefer head-on combat? Based on this decision, you can opt for the following choices.
For starters, you should try to get the Challenge Skills Point Launch Boost, Quick Zip, and Quick Recovery as soon as possible. These will help you in your movement around the map quickly. While you should keep your stealth skills at hold at first, you must upgrade your combat skills first and try to unlock Venom Rocket, Synaptic Breakdown, and Floodgate first because they are excellent in crowd control and will give you a much-needed space in combat.
