Abilities
There are a variety of Abilities you can unlock for use in multiplayer. At the very start you cannot use any. As you rank up you unlock one and eventually two ability slots in your profile set. Each ability has a set time, or “duration,” in which the ability is active. Once the ability is finished you must wait a set time to use it again, aka a “cooldown.” There are four versions of each ability. Two versions will be unlocked while ranking up, while the other two are unlocked after completing 3 phases of a certain challenge. The abilities are:
