Special Abilities are unique, high-impact combat skills tied to each Weapon in 33 Immortals. Unlike basic or Charge Attacks, Special Abilities provide tactical utility, area control, damage bursts, or team support. They consume a portion (or all) of the weapon’s designated Ability Meter and often define the identity and strength of each build.

Overview

Every weapon in the game features one Special Ability. These are manually triggered actions that serve as the centerpiece of that weapon’s kit. Some provide invulnerability frames, others apply Status Effects, and many influence battlefield positioning or create openings for Co-op Powers.

General Traits

• Activated by pressing the Special Ability button
• Consumes energy from the weapon’s unique Ability Meter
• May have a short cooldown or animation delay
• Effectiveness can scale with specific Stats like Empathy or Attack
• Enhanced further by Weapon Mastery traits and certain Relics

• Counterattacks with Gavel Bash if struck while guarding
• Excellent for tanks and frontline disruptors

Daggers of Greed – Takedown

• Performs a lunging slash

Cooldowns & Limitations

• Most Special Abilities enter a 2-second cooldown after activation
• Improper use can leave players vulnerable during cast animations
