Editing Ability (section)

== Tactical abilities ==
These abilities are used a lot more compared to the Ultimates, as they have a lower cooldown. They can be activated by pressing the {{Key|Q}} default key on PC, the {{Key|Xbox|LB}} LB button on Xbox, or the {{Key|PS4|L1}} L1 button on PlayStation. Some Tactical abilities have multiple charges.
