Gameplay
This power is used primarily to deal lots of damage to enemies as quickly as possible. Concrete Shrapnel fires a quick burst of 5 shards of concrete, or more if upgraded, that quickly dispatch lesser DUP troops and can even break through the rock shields of Bishops. However, the energy drain of the move is very high, so constant draining is required.
When using Concrete, Delsin can also has access to a variety of other moves including one that encases him in concrete armor and sends him barreling forwards, knocking over opponents and knocking over small obstacles such as traffic cones, and even dealing significant damage to objects like cars.
Delsin also has access to a variation of the thrusters that can launch him off the ground, and is capable of being used in the air two or even three times when upgraded, making aerial travel easier. Concrete thrusters are also the slowest ones, but also make Delsin's descent much longer.
However, the Concrete abilities do not come with a power that can disorient (like the Sulfur Bomb) or confuse enemies (like the Shroud of Invisibility), instead opting for a direct approach to combat. Thus, Delsin can receive an upgrade that lets him take up to 20% less damage while using Concrete powers.
The melee for this power set, like Video, does not use the Chain. The ground melee has Delsin slam his concrete-imbued fist into the ground, creating a shockwave that pushes enemies away, much like the Comet Drop. Also, Delsin is incapable of either executing or subduing enemies while using Concrete.
Concrete lacks a Karma Bomb as well.
