3 Questions: Criticals? Favorite Team? Throwing enemies?

[splunge]

I'm playing Legends II on PC.
I see various powers/skills that increase the chance of critical hits. I do not see anywhere what a critical does. Anyone know?

What's your favorite team? I'm going through my first run through with the ladies: Rogue, Scarlet, Storm and Jean.

Does throwing minions get you anything special? Combos?

Thanks!

i believe critical hits are double damage or special attacks like instant death.
you have to check the other powers to see what some criticals do
get your passive powers up high and fast

throwing enemies is good because you can throw them into other enemies (causing damage) and off cliffs.

i usually play iceman - freezes enemies in tracks
my sister is scarlet witch - get criticals high and transform enemies into boxes (great for when low on potions) or storm
brother plays cyclops or colossus
matt uses sunfire or magneto

the most common configuration is either age of apocolypse or elemental

when you can't seem to win against a boss or level, i use wolverine, he constantly heals which is very helpful.

I always use Magneto as my playable character (unless I have to switch for something specific). Added to his unique metallic prowess and a devastating Metallic Mayhem, he has leadership skills for a team (Cyclops would be a good choice for that as well).

I toss up between Rogue and Juggernaut for raw muscle power. Using Rogue now.

Sunfire for distance attacks and a powerful super attack (Super Nova).

So usually 3 of my team are consistent, Magneto, Rogue and Sunfire.

The last member is always variant, Iceman for his freezing ability, Storm for electrical attacks, Cyclops for that amazing beam (I use Cyclops now cause I got a visor that has his attack way up).

i usually go with Wolverine, Jean Grey, Cyclops, and then it's either rogue, storm or nightcrawler.
