Ability Sets

Ability Sets grant your character additional skills, weapons or bonuses, all of which are detailed below. Each set is composed of:

Three Abilities (including one Ranged Weapon)
Two Perks
One Streak
One Loss Bonus

Initially you only have one set to play with. As you gain levels, you will unlock up to six additional sets, which you can freely define in accordance with your preferences or the challenges that lie ahead in a particular play mode.
