Powers

The skills or abilities in Mass Effect 2 are called powers. Each class starts with 6 available powers, while each squadmate starts with 4. Below is a list of powers, separated by type and accompanied by which classes can use each power.

To advance the levels of the various talents, as the player levels up they are awarded points that can be used to unlock ranks of their powers. Each power has 4 ranks. When unlocking rank 4 of any power the player must choose to evolve the power into one of two improved versions.
