NHL 24 features both X-Factor and Superstar Abilities that can be game-changers forplayers. Created players for Career mode, World of Chel, or Clubs, can equip different X-Factor abilities to be the best pro out on the ice. I like to experiment with different X-Factor abilities for both offensive and defensive players and found that some of the abilities are better for most situations.

Best offensive X-Factor abilities in NHL 24

The best X-Factor abilities will depend on what position you are playing and what your playstyle is. Ultimately, the best X-Factor abilities should benefit most offensive or defensive players except for Goalies. Here are the best offensive and defensive X-Factor abilities in NHL 24.

Note that you’re able to only have one X-Factor ability equipped but can have several Superstar abilities equipped at once. The Superstar abilities are the same as the X-Factor but are not nearly as effective. The X-Factor you take should depend on what your archetype is and what shot type you are most effective with.

Best defensive X-Factor abilities in NHL 24

The defensive X-Factor you take should also depend on your archetype and playstyle. If you specialize in more technical defense, Yoink!, or Stick ‘Em Up may be best for you, but if you are a bruiser that hits players off the puck, you may want Truculence or Ice Pack.
