If you want to check out the best animations, check out Spider-Man, Elektra, Jessica Jones and Gamora. Thor's hammer attack is pretty cool too.
Daily objectives
Completing the Daily Objectives every day is the fastest way to ensure you're making the most of game's generosity, unless you're spending money of course.
Focus on resources
Always focus your resources in leveling up a small number of characters as much as you can rather than spreading materials across a lot of medium ranked heroes.
Healer in your squad
Especially in the early stages of the game, always ensure you have a healer in your squad and that they're levelled up as much as possible.
