Drongo’s key skills include:
- Pistol Shot: Fires a pistol to deal Physical Damage to enemies.
- Rusty Boomerang: Throws a boomerang to deal Physical Damage to enemies and Slow them for a set duration. While returning, the boomerang deals True Damage to affected enemies, and Slows them for a set duration. Hitting a structure or terrain during flight returns the boomerang to the hero immediately.

After a set duration, the Unstable Compounds explode to deal Physical Damage. This can stack and immediately explode at the max stack, dealing a certain amount of Bonus True Damage to the target. It also increases the hero's Movement Speed by a certain amount which gradually decreases over a set period.
- Shrapnel Bazooka (Ultimate): Drongo fires shrapnel from a bazooka to deal Physical Damage to enemies within range. The shrapnel decreases enemies' Physical Defense and Pushes them back. Nearby enemies are pushed farther back, while Drongo is also pushed backward by the bazooka's blast and becomes Unblockable.
