Neon | Delsin's powers inFamous: SS Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This category is unlocked as the second one. You receive its initial functions during mission 5 (Go Fetch, although all of the remaining attacks are unlocked as you complete mission 6 (Light It Up). I recommend that you upgrade this category, also after you have unlocked the Video category, because it does not lose on its significance, or power, late in the game.
THE NAME OF THE POWER | TYPE | COMMENTARY |
Light Speed | Regular ability | This is a basic power that is connected with faster movement. It will allow you to explore the city faster although, to appreciate it, it is a good idea to unlock Endless Speed. |
Photon Jump | Regular ability | This power does not play any key role, although it may help you while moving around correctly, e.g. while avoiding obstacles, while sprinting, or reach the lower rooftops faster. |
Endless Speed | Regular ability | Te game will not allow you to unlock this power straight away, but it is worth waiting and buy it as soon as it is possible. The unlimited "free" run is very useful, if you want to reach a location fast or, e.g. you need to chase someone. |
Neon Beam | Power with upgrades | Since it is the basic attack in this category, it is a good idea to purchase both upgrades, sooner or later, thanks to which your energy consumption will drop by a half. |
Burst Fire | Regular ability | This power is available for the villain only and it is a good idea to unlock it, because it increases the rate of fire of the Neon Beam. |
Radiant Sweep | Regular ability | This power is unlocked as you progress in the game. It is possible to use it only after you fill the (good or bad) karma bar and, since this is a time consuming process, leave it for the hardest of battles. |
Phosphor Beam | Power with upgrades | The strong energy beam is not as useful as, e.g. Cinder Missiles in the Smoke category, but still it is a good idea to unlock the successive (and costly) upgrades, thanks to which your limit of heavy ammo will rise. |
Laser Insight | Regular ability | This power unlocks as you progress in the game and it is a good idea to use it for careful elimination of single enemies. I recommend that you upgraded with the powers described below, thanks to which it will become more useful. |
Laser Focus | Regular ability | This ability upgrades the Laser Insight and it is a good idea to unlock it as early as possible because, thanks to slowing down of time, it will be easier for you to gain good, or bad, karma. |
Extended Focus | Regular ability | Just like above, it is a good idea to ensure additional slowing down of time, which facilitates aiming. |
Speed Loader | Regular ability | This is a quite useful power, which is connected with Laser Insight, because it allows toy to launch the attack, connected with aiming, more often. |
Stasis Bubble | Power with upgrades | This power is available for both karmic paths but, you are going to use it more often, while playing as the hero. Personally, I recommend that you rely on the other attacks of the neon category. |
Deadly Stasis | Regular ability | This power is excusive for the villain and it slightly raises the usefulness of the primary Stasis Bubble power, thanks to which you can gain bad karma ore easily. |
Enhanced Stasis | Regular ability | Unlocking this power raises the effectiveness of the Stasis Bubble. It is a good idea to consider buying it if you use the "bubble" often and you play as the hero. |
Extended Bubble | Regular ability | The Stasis Bubble power generates a much bigger bubble now, thanks to which you can enclose more enemies. However, this does not mean that this power is a any bit more useful. |
Drain Neon | Power with upgrades | Delsin can drain energy from neon lights, from the moment in which this power category is unlocked. I recommend that you acquire upgrades as they are unlocked, which increases the power supply. |
Quick Drain | Regular ability | You are going to use this ability only in the final phase of the game, because this is when you start running into bosses and enemies that can obstruct you from acquiring Neon energy. |
