Messy.
Estranged son of the evil mutant Mystique, Kurt Wagner was raised by a fortune teller and grew up as part of a travelling circus in Germany. Using his unique physique and agility, he performed as the star acrobat for years until finally attempting escape. During this escape, Nightcrawler teleported for the first time, an event that lead to him being rescued from an angry mob by Professor Charles Xavier, who came to recruit him into the X-Men.Marvel Source
From there, Nightcrawler became a mainstay of the X-Men’s various incarnations, as well as other teams such as Excalibur. He uses his teleportation, expert swashbuckling and superhuman agility to defeat enemies quickly, but maintains a light-hearted and positive attitude and serves as a moral anchor for the team.

**INTRODUCTION
So you're looking for a winning Nightcrawler build? Look no further you are in the promised land, brother!
SUMMARY
This build was designed specifically for soloing Cosmic Terminals however it is also my all-purpose build for Nightcrawler. With this build i can easily and quickly solo Cosmics with 0 deaths and dominate X-Defense. This build is also viable in PvP however there are better specs if PvP is your focus.
I am not going to give away all of my secrets but the build is user friendly and very fluid you do not need to play it exactly as I do to be successful. While I do have solid end game gear and it certainly makes it easier, you do not need this level of gear to play the build. However be aware that without a Pym Shrinking Serum you will not generate the spirit necessary to maximize the build.
ENGAGEMENT -> Shadowmeld (invis + bonus dmg to dive kick) -> Dive Kick -> FnG (pull mobs in STUN) -> Infernal Brimstone (area DoT) -> FnG (pull mobs in STUN) -> X-Slash SPAM -> OR Keep spamming FnG all over the screen pulling all mobs in and then X-Slash or start sequence over
