How to Customize Your Control Scheme in Marvel’s Avengers
You can also completely remap every control in the settings. Go to the controls section in the main menu and click on the controls configuration button. From here, you can change any button you want to fit your play style.
Find what works best for you and try out some new button layouts to lay waste to all of your opponents.
These are the basic controls, but a few characters have some nuance to what their Intrinsic meter does.
For Iron Man, R2 does not use his meter. To use his meter, hit the triangle/Y button to use his repulsor beam, rockets, or lasers to drain the meter.
Black Widow’s meter isn’t manually used. Instead, when it fills up, it automatically givers here a 20% damage boost.
The rest of the crew uses their meter with the R2/RT button, as stated above. The longer the button is held to more meter, it will drain. You can build it back up by using your light attacks against enemies.
Well, that’s everything you need to know about the controls guide in marvel’s Avengers. For more tips, tricks, and guides, be sure to check out our ever-expanding Marvel Avenger’s Wiki.
