“Unable to move; stacks duration.
— In-game description
Immobile is a condition that prevents movement, turning, and dodging. When immobilized, characters will stop any current movement animation and be shown as bound by purple-tinted ethereal chains.
Victims can still attack targets in range, but any associated movement will be cancelled (e.g. an immobilized guardian can still activate Leap of Faith but will not move any distance using it). However, most teleportation and shadowstepping skills can still relocate the user if successfully activated. Immobilized deals Defiance bar damage at a rate of 50 per second. Immobile has a maximum duration of 10 seconds.
