Using abilities
Tips
Abilities can be used during a round to interfere with other players. You can use them to slow or block someone's movement, which helps when you need to reach a player to pass the bomb, or when you want to stop the bomb from reaching you.
- Abilities that restrict movement can stop a bomb-carrier from reaching you.
- In the final two-player brawl, abilities become your main tool instead of passing.
