Charged Shot (1)
Charge up a powerful shot that pierces through enemies. Hold [1] or [LMC] to hold the shot.
1 Charges	4s Cooldown Between Charges	17s Cooldown
80 Damage

Maximizing Charged Shot lets you spam it more often with an additional charge, reduced delay, and improves its damage output with increased flat damage and scaling.

Tips for Charged Shot

• The hitbox on the projectile is much bigger than you’d think, you can often hit people that are behind thin or shallow cover, so don’t hesitate to still fire on the edge of a wall if they’re wrapping around to run away.

Rain of Arrows (2)
Launches you high in the air, allowing you to glide slowly. While airborne, you gain Weapon Damage and multishot on your weapon. Press [SPACE] to cancel the glide.
7s Duration	35s Cooldown
5 Weapon Multishot	+4 Weapon Damage

Maxing Rain of Arrows makes you an aerial terror, letting you stay vertical more often with a ton of bonuses for being airborne.

Tips for Rain of Arrows

• While you’re floating in the air, you can use your Charged Punch to help you maneuver around for better angles if you're out of Stamina for Air Dashes.

Spirit Snare (3)
Throw out a trap that begins to arm itself. Once armed, the trap will trigger when an enemy enters its radius, immobilizing them.
6.5m Radius	20s Lifetime	34s Cooldown
2.25s Curse Duration	25 Damage	2s Arm Time +30% Charged Shot Radius -30% Move Speed

Maxing Spirit Snare lets you place traps more often with increased duration and Bullet Damage to trapped enemies.

Tips for Spirit Snare

• Remember that there is a wind-up time before the trap arms, so if you’re trying to catch an enemy, place it where they are going to be rather than where they currently are.

Guided Owl (4)
After 1.5s cast time, launch a spirit owl that you control and which explodes on impact, damaging and stunning enemies. Hold [LMC] to accelerate the owl. Press [SPACE] to release control. Gain permanent Spirit Power for each enemy killed with Guided Owl.
16s Duration	230 Damage	120s Cooldown
12m Explosion Radius	0.75s Stun Duration	5 Spirit Power Per Kill

Maxing Guided Owl is incredibly powerful as you’ll be able to increase your odds of getting stacks with increased base damage, lower cooldown, and even an execution component.

Tips for Guided Owl

• Upon casting, fly your Owl up high to get a better vantage point and make it easier rather than having to weave on a street level.

• Remember that the Owl also stuns, so you can use it to interrupt the likes of Seven and Bebop who have channeling ultimates.
