Skills

Skills are a mechanic in Axiom Verge 2, attributes that Indra can upgrade in order to enhance her physical and technical capabilities. Indra must collect Apocalypse Flasks scattered throughout Kiengir and the Breach in order to gain the skill points required to upgrade her different assets.

At the beginning of the game, she starts with two categories: Physiology and Combat. After obtaining Mushhus, she unlocks the Infection portion, and proceeding to unlock the Drone portion after meeting Damu. Certain parts of the four categories can be unlocked after obtaining other Arms.
