Learn how Delsin absorbs and uses powers like Smoke and Neon in inFAMOUS: Second Son. Discover skill trees, basic abilities, and super moves.

Alright, let's talk about Delsin's awesome powers in inFAMOUS: Second Son! This is where the game really shines. Delsin's main gig is absorbing other Conduits' powers and making them his own. When you start out, you'll only have the Smoke power, but you'll eventually pick up two more throughout the story. The cool part is, once you have multiple powers, you can switch between them!

To switch powers, you just need to find a source for the one you want. For instance, if you have both Smoke and Neon powers and you're currently using Neon, you'll need to find a smoke source, like a wrecked car, and press the Touch Pad. Boom! You're back to using Smoke. You can see Delsin absorbing smoke from a car on the left and neon from a sign on the right in the image.

Every power Delsin learns comes with a basic set of moves, and they all have their own skill tree. You'll spend those handy Blast Shards you collect to upgrade these powers. Keep in mind, some upgrades are tied to your Karma choice and your overall Karma level. Also, you won't get all the abilities right away; you'll unlock more as you progress through the story.

Here's a rundown of the basic abilities you'll find across all powers:

  • A normal shot
  • A missile-like projectile
  • A dash maneuver
  • A special ability unique to that power
  • A super move

This guide covers all the missions, including the Good and Evil Karma paths, DLC missions like the Paper Trail, all the collectibles, and a trophy guide to help you snag that Platinum!
