Ability Types
Abilities in Sirocco are categorized by type. These types determine how they behave mechanically.
Large/Medium/Small Projectiles[edit]
Some projectile abilities are classified as Small, Medium or Large. These sizes determine how projectiles interact with certain abilities but do not directly correspond to visual size or damage.
For example: Small Projectiles bounces off Glacial Walls while Medium and Large Projectiles destroys and passes through the walls.
Several abilities can block, deflect, or reflect incoming projectiles. Only a few are capable of affecting Large Projectiles, including:
- Oasis – Countermeasures
- Oasis – Retrofit Repair (with Guardian Augment)
- Prism – Prismatic Shield (reflects)
- Sampan – Wind in a Bottle (with Protector Augment)
