Archero Guides Coverage

Archero Abilities List

I'm including all of the official descriptions of each ability, and I'm also going to be trying to include a brief bit of extra information on each of the abilities. Some abilities aren't unlocked until after you complete certain chapters, so you might see some listed here that you haven't seen yet! If you have one of the official descriptions that I'm missing, please let me know in the comments.

Death Nova

Need description

Enemies when killed will fire out projectiles from their body and deal damage to enemies who are struck by them.
