Abilities

Abilities, or skills, are power-ups that can be obtained at the start of each chapter (with the Glory talent) and additionally after every hero level up, players are given a choice between three abilities. You can also obtain abilities from angels, the lucky wheel, Masters Blessing, and The Devil.

The Devil offers an ability in exchange for some of the character's maximum health. Some abilities are unique to The Devil, such as passing through walls, walking on water, or an extra life.

These abilities strengthen the player's character in various ways through the adventure, allowing players to better deal with the increasing difficulty as they progress through the stages and reset upon the end of the adventure.

At any point, the list of abilities possessed by the character is accessible by pausing the game.
