Abyssus Aspects & Blessings Guide

Blessings are tied to ten Aspects. You slot one Aspect each into your primary weapon, secondary weapon and ability. Collect 3 Blessings from one Aspect for a Minor upgrade and 6 for a Major one. God Blessings (from Upgrade Kit charms / Upgrade Altars) are worth roughly double, with +10m range.
