Pull	Again, the Pull Ability can be used during Combat and in Exploration. Cal can pull weaker enemies toward himself and push them away causing damage. Weaker enemies can die upon impact. However, strong enemies are slightly pulled towards you, giving you an opportunity to strike when they're vulnerable. In combat, Cal can pull ropes, rocks, and other objects toward himself. He can also use the Pull ability to pull objects and climb them to reach Hard-To-Reach places.
Confuse	The Confuse Ability can be used on enemies to target their allies for a short period of time. It is an amazing ability that can assist you in combat against a group of enemies. Press CTRL and Z to confuse your targets. They will start attacking their allies for a brief amount of time!

However, with this ability, when timed perfectly, can evade enemy attacks in a cool animation that also recovers your Force meter!
Slow	It causes everyone near the vicinity to slow down while you attack them at normal speed. This ability allows you to refocus your precision and damage your targets. However, keep in mind that the enemies will still be able to shoot and attack you!

You unlock Star Wars Jedi Abilities more when you finish the storyline and discover hard-to-reach areas. Some of them are extremely useful in combat as well as Exploration. So far, Star Wars optimization is working poorly, causing many players to face issues early on.
