How to Get Abilities

How to Get Abilities.png
Abilities can be easily seen around the different levels you play in. These can be identified as the blue-colored orbs that float in different sections of the play area. Interacting with them allows you to select between three skills to use. These skills, and any other you may pick up, carry on with you until the end of the level.

Can Abilities Be Stacked?

Stacking abilities is possible in The Mercenaries mode. When the opportunity to select an ability that has already been selected before arises, players can choose to choose it again to stack the same ability. Offensive abilities can become especially deadly when stacked together!
