Spider-Man 2 features the crime-fighting duo of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, and it allows you to play as both characters almost interchangeably. As such, each hero has their own skill tree with unique skills that pertain to them.
Peter Parker’s skill tree features 19 skills while Miles Morales’ tree has 17 skills. If you go to the Skills tab early on in the game, you might notice that eight of Miles’ skills are locked. The skills stay this way until later in the story, so you need to focus on the other nine until then.
In the guide, I’ll list every one of Miles Morales’ skills in Spider-Man 2, along with the in-game description of what each one does.
Miles Morales’ skills in Spider-Man 2
There are three different skill trees in Spider-Man 2, one for Miles, one for Peter, and a shared one that has skills for both heroes. To view any one of the skill trees, press the D-Pad and scroll to the Skills tab at the top of the screen after you have reached level two in-game. From here, press R2 until you see Miles’ face appear in the bottom-left of the screen.

Miles Morales’ skill tree features some incredibly enjoyable skills that make combat unique and refreshing when using the teenage hero. The button combinations will take some time to learn, especially when you’re swapping between Miles and Peter.
