What Are Shells?
In Mortal Shell 2, Shells are playable bodies you can inhabit, each with its own abilities and playstyle. You can switch between them throughout the game.
Think of them as different character builds: some excel at stealth and speed, others focus on defense, staggering foes, or dealing damage.
All Shells, Explained
The game offers several distinct Shells, each suited to a particular approach.
| Shell | Description |
|---|---|
| Tiel | A fast, sneaky Shell who can turn invisible, sneak up on enemies, and deal extra damage from stealth. |
| Proxima | A Shell who takes less damage and uses a hook to pull enemies closer or zip toward them for a powerful lightning attack. |
| Eredrim | A heavily armored Shell great at staggering enemies and breaking their defenses with strong attacks. |
| Gragu | A strong Shell for exploring, with attacks that can stagger foes and a special healing ability, though he struggles in boss fights. |
| Smert | A Shell that gets stronger at low health and can freeze time to deliver a flurry of punches. |
| Lazlo | A Shell that reduces incoming damage and surrounds himself with fire to hurt and push back nearby enemies. |
| Sariel | A Shell that recovers lost health by attacking enemies and uses thorns to weaken them. |
| Genessa | A damage‑focused Shell that creates copies of herself to attack enemies. |
