City of Heroes - Strategy Guide
I can't imagine playing City of Heroes, or for that matterCity of Villains
without a strategy guide.
These are mongo strategy guides. As a starter, the three ring binder contains Chapter 1, issues 1 through 6.
The big three ring binder portends many updates.
The beginner is prompted to make use of chapters 1-4 while the advanced players are
directed to new PVP and Base sections. Page edges act as indices, with colors
highlighting the different chapters: Introduction, The Basics, Archetypes, Group
Dynamics, Zones, Villains, PVP Bases. The page layouts using color, graphs, maps and
characters help lead the reader through what is a complicated system.
The guide starts out with the basic steps and key concepts. Opponents are divided into
seven groups of increasing difficulties -- from there on there are tips on missions,
enhancements and detailed information and statistics on the archetypes.
The book weighs almost three pounds -- Three pounds of strategy -- that's a lot of
strategy.
