XDefiant:Skills

Overview

Skills are unique abilities each faction showcases in the combat of XDefiant. All characters in a particular faction can utilize the skills and these are never locked.

In XDefiant, skills provide a combat edge, and timing their use perfectly can shift the battle in your team's favor. Each faction's skills reflect their expertise. For example, Cleaners excel with fire, so their passive trait allows them to shoot fire-based rounds that burn their targets with each bullet.

Types of skills

Each faction has three types of skills in XDefiant:

• One Ultra: Longer cooldown but has the highest advantage in the field when it's used.
• Two Active abilities: Faster cooldown skills meant to be used frequently.
• One Passive: Each faction has one passive active at all times.
