Abilities

Note: Quoted text taken from manual.
 
  • Quick Attack: "Fast but does less damage than a slow attack."
  • Slow Attack: "Slow but does more damage than a quick attack."
  • Use Potion: "With a magic potion, your character can activate a magical blast damaging all enemis and generators within its radius. The more powerful your magic ability, the larger the blast radius wil be."
  • Throw Potion: "Throw a magic potion at your enemies like a grenade."
  • Potion Shield: "Your character uses a potion to create a magic shield around them that will damage anything nearby."
  • Charge: "Run past enemies for a quick escape if necessary."
  • Turbo Attack: "With a full Turbo Meter (yellow or red), unleash a powerful attack. The turbo bar indicates the strength of that attack. Yellow wields a close area attack useful when surrounded by enemies. Red creates a deadly forward wave attack. It's great for approaching hordes of enemies and you can direct its motion." (Penetrates walls)
  • Two-Player Combo Attack: "You can team up with a second player and unleash a powerful combo attack against your enemies. One player must have their Turbo Meter full in order to perform this attack, then simply walk up to a second player and activate."
