Video is the third power that Delsin obtains in the game and it can be both a mixed bag and also versatile, depending on it’s used. The melee attack is strong, but it’s also very slow, with some enemies being able to escape before you can finish them off. It is the fastest power when used in travelling, able to cover large distances very quickly.
Outside of Invisibility, none of the other abilities allow for Delsin to be able to subdue a target, or even offer Karmic choices when dispatching foes. Also, there doesn’t seem to be as many sources to replenish energy, when compared to Neon and Smoke. Delsin is able to dash into satellite dishes to launch into the air.
