Once you have enough Hugr you will be able to activate any 2 of the 5 abilities at a time depending on the active ones.

The Abilities you can have are:

How to Upgrade it?

You can upgrade the Hugr-Rip by going to the Dwarven Blacksmith at the shelter in Svartálfaheimr. You will need fragments from Muspels, Jotuns, & Giant Ravens alongside Silica. Silica is the common resource here and you can get it by doing River Raids.
