Infamous Second Son Power Upgrades

Working your way through the latest addition to the Infamous series, Infamous Second Son, as Delsin, you’ll pick up various powers and need to upgrade them to become successful. However some upgrades are based on the moral choices Delsin makes throughout the game, so consider your next obliteration or subdue carefully because it might determine whether you’ll get powers like Vent Healing (*) or Dash Slam (*). If you’re not sure what these are, don’t worry, this list of Infamous Second Son powers and upgrades can help decide which acts are worth carrying out. The good karma moves are starred in blue, whilst the bad karma moves are red. The purple indicated the Karmic Powers (*) , which need full karmic streaks to use.
