Traits that are improved by this trait

Shadow Arts

• Merciful Ambush — Heal when you enter or exit stealth. Stealth yourself and your target when reviving an ally. This effect also applies to stealth you grant to allies.

Notes

• The barrier on stealth will also apply to yourself when you stealth yourself, but will not reapply again til after you have lost stealth. ie. It does not apply again if you stealth yourself while already in stealth.
  • However, the subtext wording implies that if an ally applies stealth to you and then you apply stealth to yourself, this will still activate once - this needs testing.
• The barrier gained from stealth attacks will only apply once, even for multi-hit stealth attacks.
