Mortis

Dashes forward while striking with his shovel. With all attacks ready, Mortis can charge a longer dash after a delay. Keep enough movement available for the exit as well as the entry, rather than spending every dash to reach one target.

Sends bats through enemies, damaging them and healing Mortis from enemy Brawlers hit. An angle through several opponents can provide a stronger recovery opportunity than a shot that reaches only an isolated target.

Adds a shovel spin, or an aimed short-range bat attack. Use it to supplement an exchange without assuming the attack can pass through walls.

Turns Mortis into bats and moves him to a targeted position. Choose the destination for the next exchange; this is not the old reload-speed Gadget.

Restores a share of Mortis's maximum health when he defeats an enemy Brawler. It rewards securing a takedown but offers no recovery for an unfinished chase.

Shortens the wait for Mortis's longer dash. Preserve enough ammunition to prepare the dash, then use the extra reach with an exit route in mind.

Makes Life Blood return to Mortis, giving the bats another opportunity to damage enemies and heal him. Position for the return path as well as the first pass instead of assuming both will connect automatically.

Increases damage while the Brawler is below half health. The extra pressure is conditional, not a reason to remain in a losing exchange.

Reduces the wait between Gadget uses. Choose it when repeated access to the selected Gadget meaningfully supports the fight.

Improves health recovery. Leave enough room for natural recovery to begin instead of expecting the Gear to erase damage during continued attacks.

Adds a consumable shield that recovers while the Brawler is at full health. Preserve recovery time between fights to restore the extra protection.

Increases movement speed in bushes. Its value depends on having useful bush routes rather than simply equipping it on an open map.

Briefly reveals hidden opponents after you damage them. It helps track targets entering bushes, but does not reveal invisibility granted by abilities.

If unlocked and the related ability is usable, this automatic upgrade modifies the selected Star Power. It is not an additional equipment choice.
