Abilities are unlocked with [[File:Ability_unlock_icon.png|24x24px]] '''Ability Unlocks''' earned at {{Souls|600}}, {{Souls|1100}}, {{Souls|2000}} and {{Souls|3800}} soul thresholds ([[Boon]] levels 0, 2, 4 and 7). The first 3 non-ultimate abilities can be unlocked in any order, while the ultimate ability can only be unlocked at level 7. Ability unlocks cannot be refunded.

All 32 ability points can be earned by leveling up.

A '''channeled''' ability is an ability that requires channeling it for a duration, indicated by a filled bar slowly diminishing on the characters HUD. The channel can be stopped before the channel duration is complete, and will go on cooldown after it's first press before the channel duration has completed. Channeled abilities often prohibit the player from [[movement]] but this is not a rule. F. ex. {{AbilityIcon|Kelvin}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Arctic Beam}} allows walking around though at a slowed movement speed and crouching, but not [[Dash|dashing]] and [[jumping]] (the jumping key is default the key to cancel channeling). {{AbilityIcon|Dynamo}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Singularity}} blocks all movement inputs from the player while channeling. Channeled abilities can be stopped preemptively by and opponent by using a [[Status Effects|stun]] or [[Status Effects|interrupt]], but a [[silence]] or [[Status_Effects#Displace|displacement]] will not stop an ongoing channeled ability. This does not affect the cooldown of the ability.

Abilities can [[Scaling|scale]] their properties based on other stats.

 

Most abilities scale on [[Spirit Power]], but they can also scale with [[Boon|Boons]], [[Melee Damage]] and [[Weapon Damage]]. The scaling type of an ability usually indicated its damage type, but there can be exceptions, such as {{AbilityIcon|Paradox}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}} scaling with Weapon Damage but dealing Spirit Damage. The scaling type is indicate by the icon next to the scaling integer, while the damage type is indicated by the icon next to the damage value.

 

 

Some abilities apply their spirit scaling not in increased damage, but in other aspects of how they work.  These vary wildly, and include {{AbilityIcon|Lash}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Death Slam}} which increases its throwing range, and {{AbilityIcon|McGinnis}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Medicinal Specter}} which extends its duration.

[[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]][[Spirit Damage]] is the main form of ability damage in [[Deadlock]], and the vast majority of abilities will deal all or some of its damage as [[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]] spirit damage. This damage is generally split into two parts: the '''base damage''' represented by an integer, and the '''spirit scaling''' '''damage''' represented by a percentage of the heros [[Spirit Power|spirit power]]. The base damage is a base value that can only be changed via leveling up the ability using {{Ap}} '''Ability Points''', the spririt scaling damage can be increased by obtaining more [[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]]spirit power via [[Item|items]], [[Golden Statue|golden statues]], [[Powerup|powerups]] or the [[rejuvenator]].
