What is the max level in Midnight Suns?
As an avid Midnight Suns player with over 200 hours invested, I‘ve fully explored the depth of the game‘s heroic progression system. Here‘s a detailed look at what awaits you on the journey to max level.
Level Cap – 25 is the Magic Number
The maximum level your heroes can reach is 25. I cracked many a devious Lilith-led plot on the way there! With around 130 ability and stat upgrades to unlock across those 25 levels, it represents a serious investment for your go-to heroes.
But attaining best-in-class combat capabilities makes it deeply satisfying. Let‘s break down how levelling ups work:
Ability and Passive Upgrades
Each level gained allows you to enhance your hero with:
- A new ability – more ways to strike, heal, buff allies, debuff foes etc.
- One of three randomly offered passive upgrades, improving stats like Critical Chance.
For example, here are some sweet high level skills I unlocked:
| Hero | Awesome Max Level Abilities |
| Captain Marvel | Binary Ignition – AoE damage, bonus effects if Binary is active. |
| Wolverine | Deathcut – Shreds armour and deals bonus damage to slowed enemies. |
| Doctor Strange | The Images of Ikonn – Massive AoE damage and debuff. |
Balancing your heroes‘ capabilities is pivotal on higher difficulties. Trust me, you‘ll want these aces up your sleeve against deadly foes like Morgan Le Fay!
Ultimate Ability Evolution
Around level 15, heroes gain access to a powered-up second Ultimate skill. For example, Blade‘s upgrades from Spectral Sword into the wider-ranging Wraithblade.
This enables more flexible strategies when the pressure is on!
The Long Road to 25
Reaching max level is no cakewalk – it takes around 100 hours playtime focusing on XP gains. As your reference, here‘s the XP required per level:
| Hero Level | XP Required | Total XP |
| 1 | 80 | 80 |
| 10 | 160 | 1,520 |
| 20 | 400 | 9,520 |
| 25 (Max) | 800 | 16,520 |
As the above shows, those last few levels are a major grind! Here are my tips for swift success:
Mission Board Jobs
General Missions from the Mission Board provide good returns for time invested. I‘d focus hero XP missions early on. Later, Credit jobs to buy superior Gear from the Forge will accelerate progression.
Relationship Building
Completing Friendship Activities rewards generous XP. Make the Abbey rounds daily for squad shaping and social gains!
Exploration and Collection
Fully uncovering Midnight Sun‘s occult-tinged maps yields collectibles – each awarding XP when retrieved. No environment detail escapes my expert attention!
Endgame Activities at Max Level
Reaching the summit with my core heroes unlocked Midnight Sun‘s most intense challenges. The big post-level 25 activities:
New Game Plus
Restart the full 50+ hour story while retaining your levels, gear and abilities. Play a higher difficulty or try alternate narrative choices. This adds tons of replayability!
Hardest Challenges
The sim-style Danger Room houses diabolical combat gauntlets. At max level I‘m taking on reality-warping Omega Threats – demanding the very best from my roster‘s powers.
Relationship Endgames
Some heroes offer a climatic final Friendship mission at Trust Level 6 – the peak of bonding. These promise fanservice-rich stories for devoted fans!
Post-Game Enemy Hunts
Special dimensional gates unlock enabling battles against extreme-stat foes from the wider Marvel universe – dropping top-tier loot for tackling these crisis-level threats.
So in summary, attaining max level requires perseverance but enables you to fully experience everything Midnight Suns‘ has to offer across campaign, characters and combat. See you out there on the hunt fellow fans!
