Powers: Game Features

Learn how Delsin absorbs and uses powers like Smoke, Neon, Video, and Concrete in inFAMOUS: Second Son. Discover skill trees, basic abilities, and how Karma affects your choices.

Alright, let's talk about powers in inFAMOUS: Second Son! Delsin's main gig is absorbing other Conduits' abilities. You start off with just Smoke powers, but you'll eventually get your hands on three more. To switch between them, you'll need to find a source – think a smoking car for Smoke or a glowing sign for Neon – and then press the Touch Pad. It's pretty neat how you can swap on the fly once you've got a few under your belt.

Each power set has its own set of moves and a dedicated skill tree. You'll use Blast Shards, which you find scattered around Seattle, to unlock and upgrade these abilities. Keep in mind that some upgrades might be tied to your Karma – whether you're playing as a Good or Evil Delsin – and how far you've progressed in the story. You won't have everything available right away, but as you play through the main missions, more awesome abilities will unlock.

Every power generally comes with a few core moves:

• A standard shot.
• A more powerful, missile-like projectile.
• A quick dash maneuver for dodging or closing distance.
• A special ability unique to that specific power.
• A devastating super move that can clear out a crowd.

As you explore, keep an eye out for Blast Shards. They're crucial for beefing up your powers and making Delsin a true force to be reckoned with. The more you upgrade, the more stylish and effective your combat will become!
