You can change the Difficulty Level in Metropolis at almost any time. Higher difficulties include bonus XP and Resources.
Earn XP by Killing enemies and completing activities to increase your current character’s Level and gain Talent Points in one of the three Talent tree branches.
Choose from the currently available Tier of Talents to increase damage, defense and more as well as unlock new abilities to use in Combat.
Some Talents are always active while others are triggered by specific conditions such as performing Traversal moves, enemy Hits or Kills and increasing Combat Combo.
Talent choices are not permanent and can be Edited at almost any point so try different builds or follow the Recommended Playstyles to lean into your preferred theme.
Combat Combo is increased by chaining together Traversal moves with enemy Kills and playing skillfully.
Different Talents will trigger at different amounts of Combat Combo and above.
The Combat Combo maximum limit can be further expanded with Talents.
Taking damage during Combat will decrease your Combat Combo. The heavier the damage, the larger the decrease.
Minor damage and missed Shots build up the Combo Breaker while avoiding damage and landing Hits reduces it. If the Combo Breaker stays full, it will decrease your Combat Combo.
Keep increasing your Combat Combo or after a short period of time it will expire.
