Archero Abilities List

I'm including all of the official descriptions of each ability, and I'm also going to be trying to include a brief bit of extra information on each of the abilities.

Death Nova

Need description

Enemies when killed will fire out projectiles from their body and deal damage to enemies who are struck by them.
