Abilities

Karma Abilities

When creatures are defeated, they leave behind pools of karma. Collect karma to push your Karma Meter toward the Blood or Light extreme. Karma is used to trigger Karma Abilities.

When the needle on the Karma Meter passes one of the notches, a new Karma Ability has become available. To use a Karma Ability, touch the Karma Meter, then touch the ability you wish to trigger. Using these abilities drains your Karma Meter. Each Karma Ability is controlled using the rear touch pad. Additional Karma Abilities become unlocked as your character levels up.

Blood 1: Barrage
Navigate a cursor around using the rear touch pad, continuously damaging any creatures underneath.

Blood 2: Beam
Navigate two cursors around using the rear touch pad, channeling a blood beam between them that damages any creatures caught inside.

Blood 3: Burn
Stretch a red field over the ground using the rear touch pad, which damages any creatures that wander into it. The smaller the field, the more damage it causes.

Light 1: Heal Me
Navigate a cursor around using the rear touch pad, siphoning HP from any creature it passes over back to your character.

Light 2: Heal You
Navigate two cursors around using the rear touch pad, channeling a light beam between them that siphons HP from any creatures caught inside. This HP is transferred to your character or to another character standing within the beam.

Light 3: Heal Us
Stretch a white field over the ground using the rear touch pad, which partially refills the HP of any Players inside of it. The smaller the field, the more HP is refilled. Creatures caught inside the field become stunned.
