What are all 4 evil geniuses abilities?

[Bastila Shan]

Does anyone know where to find out a list of all their abilities and skills? I couldn’t find info anywhere.

I heard max has extra minions at start and emma has a reset henchman ability from gameplay commentary but i would like some more info if it exists

[MessiahofMelons]

They all have a prooritize work near me ability that also buffs minions.
Max : regular minion buff
Ivan: guards
Emma: social (how does this work shed have to be near thr agents)
Zalika: science.

Then they all have a passive and an active which costs smarts. I dont know them all.

Max: passive. 15 extra minion capacity. Unknown if this goes over cap.
Active: instantly finish nearby training.

Zalika: passive: faster research
Active: put out fires and repair nearby equipment

Ivan: passive. Dunno
Active Fire the rocket launcher

Emma: passive. Better detention for minions
Active: replenish henchman stats

Max also has an ability where he can turn anyone into gold lol.

Thats likely linked to his doomsday device and his story. He doesnt start with it and we dont know the equivalent for any other character

I think Emma could detect disguised agents in her aura too

Zalika: passive: cheaper traps both research and placing
Active: put out fires and repair nearby equipment

Ivan: passive. Dunno
Active Fire the rocket launcher

Emma: passive. Probably a boost to casino
Active: replenish henchman stats

Again I gotta wonder where you are getting your info, have not heard anything about Zalika getting bonuses to traps.

As far as I am aware the passives for each villain are related to minion types, muscle for Ivan, Social for Emma and Science for Zalika

Ivan has stronger combat henchmen and even his base workers are stronger and his "do it now" ability gives a combat buff to minions

Zalika's scientists research faster and her version of the do it now command is especially effective on science minions

And Emma's minions have better detection skills and her do it now increases the detection abilities of her minions

Max is the all rounder and does not have a specific minion focus

At least this is the information I have, not saying that you are wrong but I am just curious to see where you got your info from?

The wiki. And various streamers / youtubers. Edit: okay the Zalika specific wiki page actually just says scientist boost and not traps. So im not sure why people keep sayinh she is trap focused

Was kind of hoping for links, the wiki I am looking at does not seem to support this and there are quite a few youtubers covering the game

I edited my post but this is tbe wiki page i used for the original post https://evilgenius.fandom.com/wiki/Evil_Genius_2

"Zalika emphasizes high technology. This allows her to complete research faster than the other Geniuses, and also effects her Lair in some manner, meaning she will require more Science minions on staff to keep up-to-date. She specializes in the use of traps for defense, being able to both unlock and maintain them more cheaply, and has an ability to use nano-drones to instantly repair and extinguish items within an area of effect."

But the Zalika specific page conterdicts this so i dunno. As for streamers ill never be able to find that.

There is also this blog https://evilgeniusgame.com/en/news/395
Which says she can unlocl and maintain cheaper. But now honestly i think that is just due to her increased research and repair ability and not anything specificly trap related

It's his weapon actually, which can be upgraded to turn people into gold.

I hope it's not a late game upgrade. The gun looks fun to use. I will turn all those lazy minions into gold!

Wundabar!

You can turn Crime Lords into gold too, which is tits. Wanna do a playthrough with all the Crime Lords in my inner sanctum. ;D
