Refunds ammo when landing precision hits on regular enemies and when shooting enemies affected by stasis. Precision hits on enemies affected by Stasis opens a ‘portal’ to send additional bullets from other timelines (increasing your damage).
Precision hits cause enemy to get hit with a lightning strike. Rapid precision hits trigger a lightning storm on the enemy.
Charges power when activating block ability – when charged, sword will ravish enemy shields. At full charge, sword will heal the user.
Fires stasis crystal which freeze opponents in its blast radius. Charging the gun will fire more crystals and increase radius.
Replace barrier abilities with an over shield.
Overshield aura granted to you and nearby allies when teammates revive you.
Dodge becomes Shift which covers more ground and temporarily cloaks you.
Enhanced ‘Weighted Throwing Knife.’ Knife will ricochet off surfaces twice. Rapid precision hits increases damage and staggers enemies.
Increases Daybreak super projectile power and sets enemies on fire. Gain back melee energy from the burn damage.
Melee ability will corrupt enemies causing additional damage-over-time. Killing a corrupted enemy causes the corruption to spread while also giving user melee energy.
