I am writing a description for a video game that I am working on and I can't tell if this is grammatically correct. It seems like something is off but I just don't know what it is. Can anyone help?

Choose from a diverse cast of feisty little characters to battle through the harsh trenches of flavorful pastry warzones. Each blub boasts their own special combination of 5 different characteristics that bring a one of a kind experience to every battle. These fundamental skills include: speed, strength, health, agility and elusiveness. Here's a sneak peak of the starting blub gang lineup: Here’s a sneak peak of the starting lineup of the blub gang: (then listed them below)

@nicole1016,
The only thing I see is that you repeated the bit about the lineup at the end.

@nicole1016,
Agree with chai plus if you're listing all of the characteristics then don't use the word include, use the word are. Include implies you're not naming everything.

Oh, and I wouldn't call it elusiveness. A better term is stealth.

@jespah,
Yes that does sound better, thanks! Does it look weird that I have two consecutive sentences with colons? I think that is the part that is bothering me lol

@nicole1016,
Not really, you put a colon before a list and it looks like you have two lists, therefore two colons.

@nicole1016,
You don’t need both of those last sentences. (I thought you were giving us a choice)
