Blast Slash Guide
In this Team-Up, Cyclops acts as the anchor. When activated, Logan's claws are supercharged with kinetic energy, increasing his melee attack range. His Vicious Rampage ability is also replaced with a new skill called Kinetic Claws.
Kinetic Claws is the main reason this Team-Up is so valuable. When activated, Wolverine no longer simply slashes forward. Instead, he spins while rapidly slashing enemies around him as he moves forward.
This makes it a perfect ability against melee-heavy teams. During close-range fights, Kinetic Claws can hit multiple enemies simultaneously while also building Wolverine's Rage meter much faster.
The best time to activate it is when you're already in the middle of a close-range brawl with multiple enemies surrounding you. Once you've dealt enough damage, you can finish the engagement with Feral Leap.
It's also best to activate Blast Slash right before engaging and immediately use Kinetic Claws afterward. This timing allows you to use Kinetic Claws twice before the Team-Up ability's duration expires.
Best Against
Blast Slash is best used against Vanguards and other melee-focused brawler heroes, as its increased attack range and Kinetic Claws ability provide the most value in close-quarters combat.
Best Counters
The best counters to Blast Slash are heroes who can either push Wolverine away or interrupt him while he's using the ability. Angela, Cyclops, and Invisible Woman can all knock Wolverine out of range.
Meanwhile, Emma Frost, Rogue, and Winter Soldier can interrupt or disable Wolverine mid-skill, preventing him from getting the most out of Blast Slash and Kinetic Claws.
