Special Abilities

In Disney Infinity, Special Abilities represent some of the characteristics that distinguish one Playable Character from another. Characters may have one or more Special Abilities attributed to them. In Disney Infinity 2.0 and 3.0, some Special Abilities require spending skill points in the character's Skill Tree in order to be unlocked.

Extraordinary Strength

"Lift heavy objects and defeat enemies with ease as one of the galaxy's strongest characters."

Playable Characters with this ability can lift objects such as a Ranged Omnidroid. Approach the object and press (left face button) to pick it up. Playable Characters without a Strength ability cannot lift objects the size of an Omnidroid. Note that some objects cannot be picked up (e.g. Mounts and Vehicles).

Flyer

"Take to the air and soar with ease through your various worlds."

Hold (lower face button) to hover, hold (left trigger) while hovering for free flight.

Before characters can fly, they need to go into hover-mode. This is done by holding down the button used to jump. While the character hovers, they can move up and down fairly fast, and slowly move sideways. Flying is then done by holding down the button used to aim. While the character is flying, they can still use their ranged attack. They can also dodge sideways, they same way as normal. Flying and hovering can be ended by pressing the 'block' button, but also by making an Air Assault the usual way. They cannot fly while while holding an object, only hover.

Mynock Hunter

Characters with this ability are able to detect Mynocks; useful (but not required) for completing the corresponding Feats in each of the Star Wars Play Sets. When a character with this ability is near a Mynock, an indicator will appear on the mini map in the lower left corner of the screen, indicating relative direction and distance.

Slinger

"Swing through your worlds and swiftly defeat enemies with your slinging capabilities."

During a double or super jump, press and hold (lower face button) again to Swing.

While Slinging, characters can hold smaller objects (like Townspeople) or even playable characters (however certain large characters like Hulk and Wreck-It Ralph can actually prevent Spider-Man or Quorra from carrying them due to their large size and weight in-game, whereas Venom can carry any playable character in the game without a size restriction holding him back), however while Slinging the character cannot use their ranged attacks.

To start Slinging, the character must first double jump or Super Jump. Then, by holding down the 'jump' button, the character will start swinging. When the button is released again, the character will start falling, but can begin swinging again while in the air.
