‘Special moves’ come as special abilities and attacks – kind of like perks – that you can find in-game to help boost damage done to opponents, while possessing rare qualities like poison. Here’s a little guide on how to obtain them and what they are.
In the world of Rumbleverse, there are a number of ways to dish it out to your opponents – melee attacks and physical strikes, weapons, “Vicious” attacks, and ‘Special Moves’ or abilities. What exactly are these ‘Special Moves’ and how can you get them? You cannot bring them into battle with you, like perks, so these are things you’ll need to pick up in-game to help you out.
What are the Special Abilities and Moves in Rumbleverse?
Specials Moves must first be discovered inside boxes scattered throughout Grapital City as you battle. Before detailing all the available special abilities below, it is important to note that a couple specific ones have unique qualities ascribed solely to them.
They’ll either be as a ‘strike’ or a ‘Vicious attack’ and can have special attributes (Poison) and an assigned rarity. Green abilities are common, blue moves are rare, and purple moves are ‘Epic.’ Rarer abilities will have a higher power level and attack priority and as such try to find those whenever possible!
