To regenerate smoke supplies, you can use chimneys, car wreckages or some bonfires

This category is the first one that you gain access to. Its basic functions are unlocked still during the prologue, although the more advanced ones (which deal more damage) become available only after you reach Seattle. I recommend against ignoring this category, even after you unlock the next groups of powers, because it is useful (and sometimes necessary) also later into the storyline.

THE NAME OF THE POWER

TYPE

COMMENTARY

Smoke Dash

Regular ability

This is the basic power, connected with fast movement. Turning into smoke also helps you dash between rooftops, avoid water or avoid obstacles.

Double Air Dash

Regular ability

It is a good idea to unlock this power early into the fame, because it helps you, considerably, reach the more distant ledges, without the necessity to get down to the ground level.

Car Boost

Regular ability

This skill unlocks as you progress in the game and it is a good way to, e.g. reach a ledge above or dash away from the battlefield.

Vent Dash

Regular ability

This power is available since the very beginning of the game Remember that venting shafts have been marked on the minimap.

Vent Healing

Regular ability

This power is useful, mainly at a higher difficulty level, because you will be bent on replenishing your health points, in any way possible.

Enhanced Vent Launch

Regular ability

It is not too valuable a skill because, instead of darting into the air, with increased force Double Air Dash is more useful.

Smoke Shot

Power with upgrades

Since it is the basic attack in this category, it is a good idea to purchase both upgrades, sooner or later, thanks to which your energy consumption drops by a half.

Sustained Fire

Regular ability

This power is available only for the villain and it is a good idea to unlock it because, thanks to it, you can fire more projectiles in a burst.

Sulphur Headshots

Regular ability

This power is for the hero only. In itself, it is not too valuable, but it gives you access to the power described below.

Knockout Headshots

Regular ability

Also this power is available for the hero only. I recommend that you turn your interest to that, assuming that you do not have any problems with frequent headshots.

Cinder Blast

Power with upgrades

This, quite strong, attack is especially useful for destroying enemy structures and barriers. It is a good idea to invest in both upgrades (lower energy consumption) although, not at the very beginning of the game.

Obliterating Blast

Regular ability

This power is available for the villain only. You can consider buying it if you have already collected enough blast shards, because you gain bad karma faster, thanks to it. Still, this is not a priority.

Sulphur Bomb

Power with upgrades

This power is available for both karmic paths but, it is hero that will profit from it more. I recommend that you upgrade it, additionally, because in its standard form, it is not too powerful.

Corrosive Fumes

Regular ability

Extending the duration of the primary power - Sulphur Bomb - helps you stun more enemies each time but, even without it, you will be well off.

Giant Sulphur Bomb

Regular ability

Just like above, this ability is only available for the hero. It is a good idea to unlock it, if you use the Sulphur Bomb often, because its increased blast radius makes it more useful.

Cinder Missile

Power with upgrades

Rockets deal huge damage but unfortunately, the cost of upgrades is very steep. In spite of that, I recommend that you strive for buying them, on a regular basis, because you will, then, not have to leave that often the battlefields, where heavy ammo is worth its weight in gold.

Orbital Drop

Regular ability

This power is unlocked as you progress in the game. Using it is possible only after you have filled the (good, or bad) karma bar and, since this takes a lot of time, leave it only for the most difficult of battles.

Drain Smoke

Power with upgrades

Delsin can suck the smoke energy since the very beginning of the game. I recommend that you purchase the successive upgrades, as soon as they re unlocked, which will increase your energy supply.

Quick Drain

Regular ability

This power is useful only in the final phase of the game, because it is then that your character starts running into bosses and enemies that can obstruct him from absorbing the smoke power.
