Otherwise the enemy will be at most wounded or knocked down.
Jimmy is more resistant to damage than other characters.
Before summoning darklings I recommend destroying light sources.
Dark Power Aura
400 essence points + Dark Aura
Darkness powers of nearby players regenerate faster.
It is very useful power, but your team mates should like using Swarm and Gun Channeling attacks.
Devil Executions
800 essence points + Dark Aura
It lowers requirements for performing executions.
It is useful only if you like executing enemies.
The difference can be seen mainly with stronger enemies.
Dark Axe Master
600 essence points + Dark Aura
Your axe inflicts more damage.
It is very useful power especially that only most accurate throws result in immediate death of the enemy.
Demonic Power Aura
800 essence points + Dark Power Aura
Darkness powers of nearby players regenerate faster.
Same as with Dark Power Aura, this power is only useful in multiplayer mode.
Dark Axe’s Anger
1600 essence points + Devil Executions
You’re invincible for few seconds after performing execution.
It is not absolute priority, unless you like relying on darklings.
Guns
Infidel Darkness Mod
300 essence points
Increases pistols' clip (regular and machine).
It is worth noting that it works only when Jimmy stays in the dark.
Warlord Darkness Mod
Increases shotguns' and assault rifles' clip.
It is worth noting that it works only when Jimmy stays in the dark.
you might buy this power, but only if you will use assault rifles and not shotguns.
Darklings
-
Summoning darklings (two by default), who jumps on enemies.
You do not have to buy this power and it is worth to use it from the very beginning.
Knockout Darklings
500 essence points
Possibility of knocking down enemies as a result of exploding darklings.
This is very useful enhancement, which definitely makes using darklings good choice.
I suggest unlocking it as soon as possible especially that it is not expensive.
Darkling Squad
750 essence points
Summons three (instead of two) darklings.
This is another very useful enhancement.
The more darklings you’re able to summon, the better, because you might create more confusion.

Volatile Darklings
1000 essence points + Knockout Darklings
Increases the amount of damage inflicted by exploding darklings.
Darkling Army
1500 essence points + Darkling Squad
Summons four (instead two or three) darklings.
It is quite expensive but you should not ignore it, because four darklings can significantly help you.
Even during fights with stronger enemies.
