What is Batman: Arkham Knight ?

Batman: Arkham Knight is the fourth chapter of the Batman: Arkham series , starring the cover crusader and focused on action and investigation, which was the first franchise to make use of Batman’s investigative skills, who acts as both combatant and detective.

The story follows the events of Batman: Arkham City . A year after the Joker died, the Scarecrow launched a chemical attack across Gotham City, forcing its evacuation. He allies himself with the mysterious Knight of Arkham and other villains from the batman gallery, where they all have the same goal: to destroy Batman once and for all.

The Dark Knight will have at his disposal not only his physical and deductive abilities, but also the Batmobile, which is basically a battle tank, and also his allies Robin, Nightwing, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Oracle, Lucius Fox and Woman -Cat, who will help you in what may be Batman’s last adventure, which also has to deal with internal problems. Literally.

Like its predecessors, Batman: Arkham Knight has a main story and several parallel plots, missions ranging from rescuing missing firefighters and destroying Gotham Knight militia checkpoints, investigating serial killings and unraveling the riddled challenges of the Riddler around the city.

Each of these missions leads to alternative developments, which yield valuable points of improvement to increase your skills.

2. Master the Batmobile

Batman: Arkham Knight is the first game in the franchise in which the player can direct the Batmobile, which here is very similar to the Tumbler in the Christopher Nolan film series. The similarities stop there, since the vehicle has two modes, the direction and the combat, where it becomes a kind of tank, capable of even sideways.

The Batmobile has heavy weaponry (non-lethal, Batman doesn’t kill) and can be used both to cover large distances quickly, and to contain crowds. militia vehicles. It is essential to master your skills and also evolve it with points of improvement, to make it more powerful.

3. Use the upgrade points wisely

You can evolve Batman’s skills and equipment, as well as the Batmobile, with Waynetech’s improvement points, earned as you progress through the game. These upgrades are required to complete some of the AR missions and challenges, but costs vary.

Instead of buying skills that cost only 1 point, it is a good idea to analyze the upgrade tree and give preference to a sequence of improvements that will allow you to evolve more essential techniques and gadgets.

4. Evolve the Fast Multi-Intimidation Scam

One of the new and extremely useful techniques is the Multi-Intimidation Strike. Being hidden and with enemies within range, Batman can knock out 3 to 5 enemies at once and quickly. This technique is essential to decrease the forces of groups of very large enemies, and should be focused mainly on brutes or enemies with equipment.

Having enough improvement points, try to improve this technique early in the game, as it will make fights against multiple opponents much easier.

5. Why drive, if you can glide?

Driving the Batmobile is really fun and sometimes necessary, but gliding is still the main way of getting around in Batman: Arkham Knight . As you fly over Gotham City, you will be able to hear audios from henchmen, or hints of missions that have not yet appeared on the map. None of this can be seen while you are behind the wheel.

Batman’s flying techniques can be enhanced and connect to his combat skills, and will also be useful in getting some of the Riddler’s trophies.
