Trivia

• As with all the etchings, Etching: Jökulhlaup is named for a real life phenomenon. Jökulhlaups are any large and abrupt release of water from subglacial or proglacial lakes or reservoir, though the term originally described glacial outburst floods that occurred in Iceland.
• This Etching has New Krytan text in its symbol that contains the following:
  • Inner Ring: Aren't you tired? Close your eyes and feel them wash over you.
  • Middle Ring: It's not silent, listen closely shape shifters it can't hurt can it
  • Outer Ring: Swirling stars floating in the water so delicate yet strong
  • Notably, the outer ring seems to reference a quotation from Soo-Won's Tail, while the middle ring contains part of a quotation from Jormag's Flight.

Increased all etching durations from 5 seconds to 7 seconds. The visual effects of Jökulhlaup, Derecho, and Haboob will no longer be replaced by legendary effects.
