Shells are bodies you inhabit, and this gives you access to the individual abilities and skills the bodies are made off. The beta edition of the mortal shell game offers users two shells. Each shell has its own unique feature and peculiarity. If you wish to progress well and further into the game, then one of the most vital steps in Mortal Shell is to understand its Shell abilities.

Knowing the abilities of these shells will guide you to make the best shell choice. This is an important step to your progression in the game. To get the shell, you will need to have tars and glimpses to cover its cost. You’ll also need to complete some battles such as defeating the enslaved Grisha. These are the most basic steps to unlock shells. With that out of the way, let’s get right into the Mortal Shell Abilities guide – How to unlock.

Mortal Shell Abilities Guide – How to Unlock

1. Harros, the Vassel

The first Shell we’ll look at is the Harros, the vassal. This shell takes the form of a knight and comes equipped with different stats. Harros can take more hits and also cause more damage but is often slow during combat, which is a significant disadvantage to the shell. To make up for this, new abilities can be unlocked for each shell, providing you with better and advanced features. The following is a complete list of the abilities of Harros, cost, and effects of these abilities:

  • Accretion of resolve: it cost 700 tar and 3 glimpses for this shell ability. It helps you reduce the hardened cooldown by 25%
  • Accretion of dominance: costing 700 tar and 7 glimpses, this ability will drop extra glimpse upon each enemy kill after hardening
  • Accretion of foresight: it will cost you 700 tar and 6 glimpses for the Accretion of Foresight. With this ability, you stand the chance to increase HP when picking up some Glimpse
  • Accretion of inheritance: This ability costs 700 tar and 8 glimpses, which doubles the duration of hardening when broken.

2. Tiel, the acolyte

This shell can be found in the catacombs, close to the room where Sester Gnessa is located. Unlike Harros that comes clothed in a Knight form, this shell comes in tattered clothing and takes a more skeleton form. Tiel, when compared to Harros, provides better stamina and dodge abilities than Harros, and also it is fast during combats. Below is a complete list of Tiel abilities, cost and the effects of these abilities:

  • Accretion of Endurance: costing 750 tar and 4 glimpses, this ability provides a damage boost when you are low on stamina
  • Accretion of yearning: It costs 900 tar and 9 glimpses for this ability. It will provide you with a healing effect while taking poisonous damage
  • Accretion of foresight: this ability will cost you 700 tar and 6 glimpses, with a successful riposte, the Tiel will produce and release a poisonous cloud
  • Accretion of ascent: costing 800 tar and 9 glimpses, this ability will sometimes help you lose stamina during damages instead of your HP
  • Accretion of resolve: it cost 700 jars and 3 glimpses for this ability, which reduces the hardened cooldown by 25%
  • Accretion of inheritance: costing 700 tar and 8 glimpse, it will help hardened to last twice as long when broken

While each shell’s abilities can be improved upon to give you more advanced features and an edge over your competitors, starting with a better shell is a brilliant advantage you cannot ignore. Each shell makes up for a seeming disadvantage. However, some advantages that stand better than others are why you have to look at the stats of the shell before choosing anyone to go for.
