Comprehensive Skip Guide (Last Updated June 2025)

Every skip in the game (with the exception of the Dock Work gate dash) uses a fusion move to either get out of bounds or clip through a door.

You will have to use either Penance or Storm to do these fusion skips. I will tell you who to use for each skip.

Penance's fusion clip works with Gambit, Human Torch, and Thing.

Storm's fusion clip works with Spider-Man and Thing.

Credit to ImChloe_ for discovering that you can gain a free fusion star by reloading.

Other Skips

There's like few new skips I have found due to me just messing around and just testing. First one is on **Latveria**. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxxojDMSkET97TXzS5nK5B2IRNG46yxOWX?si=d7-6XDY3dGE_1SVv Tornado fusion off the balcony and walk over to the other side. This will force the game into moving your team on top due to you being at the bottom. If you switch to anyone at top and hit the computers with an AOE attack it will force the game into cutscreen.

To note reloading a checkpoint for this game grants you one fusion star (Don't know why), To use this the next new skip is to reload checkpoint the start of **Chapter 2**.
By just using tornado fusion at the first lock door you can skip going around and disable the power for the door. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxckl-TaRQS8ftRWzrz3A9goddQi0SwDPj?si=SgFhjcBBVD_6Q_Bf

Dock Work also can work with this checkpoint reload instead of praying you get the skip for the first lock door.

During the part of **Ambush** leading to you chasing Captain America, you can skip that whole part by just tornado fusions the bridge he knocks down. There's a second Captain America waiting for you. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx7_unmBYAKbAVWbh3b22ko7guE7znODt1?si=X19l638qs_qb-ojk

During level Prison I had an idea of just doing one sample during **Going Negative**, but the game just needs you to do one and the cutscreen can play. So during **Jail Break-in** skip reload the checkpoint once again for you to gain another fusion star. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxknMqZ_a-w_jilEWJm6e0-KFTPuVXIUPs?si=AnAoUCdeeMxKfefX only down side is you need 2 star fusion but you should be able to make enough from destroying stuff and beating enemies.  

Hold the Line skip different setup- https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx7KzcC-HVLk9WulWF5KbQU8vh0vQv05NB?si=PEvwBGOGgm-fWVnH also a better way of doing this is switching back to Thor/Ms. Marvel. So they can fly back into bounds. 

During the start of **Wakanda** reload the checkpoint for fusion star. During the second barrier you skip it by using tornado fusion on the plants instead. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxeR4RzoPaD_6Oes40wqUKee0iYzUTp3pR?si=hHqfEDi_ezwVMwND You can do the same for the last barrier aswell. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxsXpQNKBIZ2srDCWSlv1_sWQDELwflKF1?si=1hZhSspMUneTA7OR The other skip I found/use in the run isn't useful (ATM could be for future)


Various skips

*First set of skips found and posted in July 2020*

With all of these guides i had to build the fusion metre due to using mission replay, you should be able to just do them right away during a run.

* Wakanda - Tribal City * You can skip the entirety of this section by using a fusion between Penance and Gambit then pressing against a wall.  Really simple to do and saves about 5 minutes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuhpkh9PbnM

*Dock Work* This isn't much of a massive skip but it lets you go past having to destroy like 6 containers and a quick cutscene. Saves around 30-40 seconds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAforMk_h0E

*Prison - Riot*  This skip saves about 3 minutes if done fast and skips a bunch of little cutscenes and a boss(2) fight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky1czKhQ1vk&

*Latveria - Factory Floor* This skips past having to blow up the 6 missile stations and lets you clip through the door saving about 40-50 seconds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZiZxOg8lus&


*Found and posted in March 2021*

*Prison - Break In* This skip lets you get past a few barriers with turrets and a conversation with Maria Hill then backtracking back saving about 45-60 seconds depending on how optimal you are. Bonus random skip as well with the possibility of skipping Iron Man teleporting and getting control back to initiate a fusion ASAP but I haven't found a trigger for that yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OSACgvKpHU

*Skips below found by MoonKnightx53 , footage gathered and posted in May 2022*

*Prison - Descent Skip* This skip let's you get past the annoying left to right descent after the  fight with Molten Man, it was wonderful to see brought to life as I had hoped it was possible before.  I estimate it saves in around 20-30s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm3tl4F6Bbk

*Showdown - Final Tinkerer Skip* This skip lets you bypass the final Tinkerer fight and I estimate it saves 10-15s

Vicarious Visions Rapid Boss Kill

Iron Man and Songbird have the ability to rapidly kill most bosses within the game by using an exploit that allows you to fly over the boss and repeatedly bounce a projectile between the boss and the ground for extreme damage. This applies to their first power

https://youtu.be/YIv8WBNKsPE

Though it is not perfect obviously, this is a good example of how the exploit is performed, you know if it's working correctly if you see a lot of damage numbers popping up and the boss's health draining fast
