Spider-Man PS4: Top 5 Best Skills You Can Get

Spider-Man for the PS4 is full of things to do and unlock. Skills are no exception, and you’ll be able to RPG it up in this game, as well. Here are the best skills you can get in Spider-Man for the PS4.

Best Skills You Can Get in Spider-Man PS4

Perfect Dodge

This is one of the first skills you can gain access to in Spider-Man PS4, and it’s one that we’d absolutely recommend that you get as soon as you can. Simply put, Perfect Dodge grants you the ability to pull off an even cooler dodge than the standard one in Spider-Man PS4.

Perfect Dodge will turn your Spider sense blue at the optimal time to dodge. If you successfully press Circle at this point, you’ll pull off a Perfect Dodge in Spider-Man PS4, shooting the enemy in the face with your web to temporarily stun them.

Not only does that leave them wide open for a follow-up attack, but you’ll also earn bonus focus, which you can either save up for a finisher, or pour back into your health bar.

When things begin getting incredibly hectic in the combat towards the end of Spider-Man PS4, rest assured you’ll be glad you got Perfect Dodge.

Air Yank

There are a lot of skills that revolve around using your webs to yank an enemy, or a weapon out of an enemies hands and so on, but our personal favorite is the Air Yank. This is one of the best skills in Spider-Man PS4 for those who like to deal damage while airborne. Simply hold Triangle while you’re in the air to yank an enemy into the air towards you. What does this allow you to do? Deal out a nice aerial combo, rack up Focus, and stay away from any other enemies waiting on the ground below.

When swarms of enemies start to become an issue in the latter stages of Spider-Man PS4, having the ability to keep the fight in the air, out of reach of other enemies can be incredibly handy. It’s even more handy when Air Yank prevents you from having to even touch the floor to get an enemy up there with you, so it’s a winner winner!

Payback

Arguably the most annoying enemy type in Spider-Man PS4 is just about anything that has a ranged weapon in its hand. Pistol enemies, rifle enemies… rocket launcher enemies. You get the idea. That’s why Payback is one of our top picks for skills in Spider-Man PS4.

This handy ability enables you to press Triangle right after pulling off a Perfect Dodge on rifle and pistol enemies for an instant takedown. Considering any enemy with a weapon tend to be the ones that catch you off and deal the most damage, picking these off with such ease can certainly help with crowd control.

Dodge Window

Dodge Window kind of goes hand in hand with Perfect Dodge, as the name may have led you to assume. It’s not the most bad-ass of skills in Spider-Man PS4, but in terms of practicality when you’re in a squeeze in combat, it’s up there as one of the best.

As the name suggests, this skill simply increases the timing window for the Perfect Dodge and Web Shot Counter attacks, making them considerably easier to execute in the heat of combat.

We’ve mentioned it in our tips and tricks, and Perfect Dodge was our top pick out of the skills in Spider-Man PS4, but we’ll reiterate it again. Mastering the Perfect Dodge is crucial to making it through some of Spider-Man PS4’s toughest moments, and Dodge Window can make mastering it that little bit easier. It doesn’t even cost that many skill points either, so get it bought!

Wrecking Ball

One of our final favorite skills in Spider-Man PS4 is Wrecking Ball. Now, this can take a while to unlock in the game, as it’s pretty far down the skill tree, but once you are able to unlock it, it’s great fun.

Simply put, it enables you to web up a brute enemy (the larger, heavier ones), and then grab and throw them by holding down Triangle and looking at them. Throw the brute at a group of enemies and any in a wide area will be stunned, damage, or affected in some way. Considering these guys have a real love for beating you into the ground, there’s nothing more satisfying than doing a bit of goon bowling with one of ’em.

This also works as a solid crowd control method, should you find yourself getting surrounded far too often in Spider-Man PS4, so be sure to keep it in mind.

There are our top picks for the best skills you can get in Spider-Man PS4. Of course, depending on your playstyle, you may find that some skills cater to the way you want to play more than those we have on this list.
