This Scarlet Nexus SAS Abilities Guide will show you what the SAS system is in the game, how to use it, and what are the abilities in this system. The SAS allows you to use an ability from a team member in your party.
By using the SAS system and by taking advantage of your party member’s power, you can use these effects on your weapons and attacks. As you progress in the story and unlock more party members, you will get additional abilities that you can use from your team member.
You can also unlock the Concurrent SAS Skill, which lets you have more than one active ability at a time.
