Raised in a traveling circus, German-born Kurt Wagner learned that his mutant abilities were a gift to be celebrated. Since joining the X-Men, Nightcrawler has changed costumes, switched teams and even shifted his life's focus: He now dedicates himself to a higher calling as a priest in training. Nightcrawler may look like a blue-skinned demon, but this swashbuckler is one of mutantkind's guardian angels.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Nightcrawler is almost essential for doing things other characters can't. His Teleport Leap is needed immediately for getting into those rooms that have no doors or getting past the barriers the EASY way. I maxed his Teleport Flurry up to Legend Frenzy first because it's the best move he's got. With it, he can obliterate multiple attackers or a single enemy. I believe he's the only one with this kind of attack. I didn't use his Shadow Blend much and didn't even get a chance to use the Blindside Blitz. Of the rest, I only really built up his Mutant Mastery (because of how often I'd use his powers) and Acrobatics. Nightcrawler can also grab onto walls and launch himself across the room. Points go best into Agility and Focus.
