Prey the Stars/Abilities

In Prey the Stars, abilities are obtained once the player's character has eaten three objects of the same elemental property. They can be triggered at any time by tapping the R button.

This method can also unlock the Morph skill, which transforms the player's character into a powerful giant that can devour anything on the map for a short period of time.

Strategy

Efficiency is key when using abilities to gain an advantage. Projectile-based abilities require a distracted target and accuracy is affected by the user's position. Wide area abilities are effective when multiple opponents are in one spot. In harder levels, computer-controlled monsters can block attacks while moving. To transform, players must eat objects of the same type, which is difficult without the More Form skill skin. When transformed, players must choose to attack or consume items for points. Transforming can be combined with GABUGABU Time for a powerful effect.
