As for abilities, Black Adam has Lighting Surge, which will “unleash electric power to SHOCK enemies and ELECTRIFY allies.”
Next, there’s Aton’s Havoc, which allows Black Adam to grab and shock enemies with a jumping beam of lightning. Finally, there’s Heru’s Flight, which lets Black Adam briefly gain the ability to fly in any direction.
Alongside Black Adam comes the addition of Classic Arcade Mode Alpha, which lets players fight through a gauntlet of different character variants. Additionally, Silly Queue will be added to the game, which is meant to serve as a more casual game mode going forward.
