The square tiles on the grid come in four different colours and relate to four combat powers. Yellow tiles represent melee attacks, purple tiles are ranged attacks, red tiles denote health powers and finally there are green mind powers. These special skills charge when your character treads on the corresponding hue. When you fill a discipline’s power meter you will be able to unleash a special attack that will damage foes and manipulate the grid.
During the game you will be able given the opportunity to use the credits you collect from defeating enemies to buy a range of new powers which can only be used against certain enemies. For example Rose's core strike melee power is only effective against robots. The skill tree consists of over a hundred powers divided between four schools.
