* BouncingBattler: The sword's plummet attack allows Flynn to bounce off enemies with his sword. If there are enough flying enemies around, it can even turn into a GoombaSpringboard. It ends after Flynn falls into the ground, takes damage, follows it up with another attack, or simply setting it pass a certain amount of time.

It ends after Flynn falls into the ground, takes damage, follows it up with another attack, or simply setting it pass a certain amount of time.



* LimitBreak: Once Crimson Control is unlocked, Flynn gains a gauge called Crimon Charge which fills up while attacking monsters or by collecting crests. Once the gauge is filled, Flynn can perform the following attacks:[[note]]The attacks have to be unlocked by training first.[[/note]]
** Heavy Breakers, Plummet Attacks, and Aerial Uppercuts all require 1 Crimson Charge to use. Their follow up attacks, if any, can only then be used for no extra charges.
** Fury attacks require 2 Crimson Charges to use. During this, Flynn performs a short but heavy attack where he's also immune to damage for the entire animation.
** [[SuperMode Crimson Control]] requires the gauge to be completely full. During this, Flynn's combos become faster, knocks/stuns enemies faster, and has greatly increased range. He also becomes immune to most attacks, although he can still take damage from environmental effects.



* RollingAttack:
** Many of the claws' attacks become this, turning Flynn into a ball remeniscent to [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's spin dash]]:
*** The basic ground combo has one animation where Flynn curls into a red ball and deals multiple hits at once.
*** The initial plummet attack has Flynn roll into a ball that can move forward or spin in place. Follow-up attacks turn it into a TornadoMove instead.
*** The fury attack turns him into a ball which bounces around a small area, dealing damage to anyone in the way.
** Crimson Control also has an upgrade that turns rolls into one giant spin dash, allowing Flynn to dodge attacks while still dealing damage to enemies.
* ShockwaveStomp: The axe's plummet attack covers an impressive amount of range and is capable of hitting multiple enemies at once.



** [[PowerFist Claws]] allow Flynn to attack fast in rapid succession, as well as allow performing air combos. They're also the most mobile of the three weapons despite lacking in range.

** On areas where Dex can be called for assistance, Flynn becomes immune to spikes while riding Dex. This includes spikes on ceilings low enough for Dex to reach while she jumps. Multiple dog statues are also scattered around the areas allowing Flynn to call Dex again, in case they become separated or they fall into a pit.

** [[CoolSword The sword]] is the default weapon and you start the game with a wooden sword. In the middle of power, speed, and range, they're BoringButPractical.
** [[AnAxeToGrind The Axe]] trades speed for power and more range. They're also capable of breaking gemstone-like barriers and armor.

* FireIceLightning: Apart from the default crimson energy, Flynn gains new elemental powers as the story progresses:
** [[HarmlessFreezing Ice magic]] allows freezing enemies in place, as well as creating platforms out of water. An upgrade allows the ability to pass through multiple enemies in a single line at once.
** [[ShockAndAwe Electric magic]] allows zapping multiple enemies in rapid succession. It also removes the green electric-like armor some monsters have that normally reflects magic. An upgrade also stuns your opponents as they are being zapped.
** [[PlayingWithFire Fire magic]] allows gradually burning enemies, as well as light up torches in dark areas. Charging magic also increases the light radius around Flynn slightly. An upgrade also causes the fire to gradually add to the enemies' stun meter as they burn, making them easier to stun.



* AnIcePerson: Flynn's ice energy can freeze enemies on contact to create platforms out of them along with freezing the tops of water surfaces.
