List of Abilities

Example of an ability screen (Abilities are listed on the right).

Abilities are character's powers which they use in LEGO Dimensions. With abilities, characters can solve puzzles within levels in order to progress further through the game, to reach inaccessible areas, to obtain Minikits through replaying the levels, and to obtain Gold Bricks in the Adventure Worlds.

Vehicles and gadgets also have abilities that can be used to solve certain parts of puzzles, although there are some exclusives to them.

Some puzzles can only be solved with a character, vehicle, or gadget that shares the right combination of abilities (ex. there is one puzzle where you need a vehicle with both the Flying and Laser Abilities).

Due to the many varieties of abilities one character, vehicle, or gadget can have, below is a list of abilities in organized sections with descriptions of their usage and lists of all the users with that ability.
