Spy sorties really do be like that sometimes

So you can't any frame abilities (the things that use 1-4 to activate) that require zero cost and have nothing that modifies them? That's because abilities are something that use energy and/or are affected by at least one ability modifier.

Let me ask you some yes/no questions about Limbo entering the Rift. Does it count towards Abilities Used on the mission screen? The answer is no. Can it still be used during the MR9 test, which explicitly disables abilities? The answer is yes.

Since you're either trolling or just plain ignorant, I'm done trying to inform you of that. Keep on believing what you want but just know that DE - the people who develop the game - says you're wrong and that passives do not count as abilities.
