Dodge Attacks And Counter

Many of the enemies here have unblockable attacks, so dodging them will be your best bet. Massive waves of Stiletto Riotbots are common so make sure you have attacks that allow you to counter after you dodge.

How To Perfect Evade (Dodge)

Thin Out The Crowd

Make sure that you have attacks that are able to clear out huge crowds and take out enemies fast. Thor's Warrior's Fury as well as Hulk's Thunderclap will prove invaluable here, as well as Black Widow's Veil of Shadows as a way to prevent damage.
