Combat abilities[edit]
Strike Mission: Old Lion's Court[edit]
- Abilities
- Increased Damage to Distant Targets
- Effects
(unlocked when channeling Crackling Wind)
Empowered (challenge mode only) - Outgoing direct damage increased by 5%. Stacks in intensity.
Ley-Woven Shielding - An experimental mechanism is generating tightly woven strands of ley-line energy to form an impervious barrier that prevents all damage. It doesn't look entirely stable.
Malfunctioning Ley-Woven Shielding (upon breaking defiance bar) - The mechanism generating the shield appears to be malfunctioning. The next time the shield is lowered, this prototype will become exposed and stunned for several seconds.
Power Transfer (when near a Watchknight Triumvirate) - This prototype is receiving an energy transfer from another assault knight, enabling its more powerful attacks even while shielded.
- Skills
- Crackling Wind - Prototype Indigo unleashes coruscating sheets of electricity that flash over the battlefield, vaporizing everything in their wake.
- Crackling Wind (challenge mode only) - Prototype Indigo becomes the eye of a storm while pushing enemies away. Damage increases with distance. Targets that are pushed too far will also become exposed and empower the prototype.
- Exhaust Plume - The fiery exhaust from an assault knight's jetpack is dangerous. Deadly, even.
- Thundering Ultimatum - Prototype Indigo unleashes coruscating sheets of electricity that flash over the battlefield, vaporizing everything in their wake.
- Tri-Bolt - Prototype Indigo targets three enemies with lightning orbs, which follow their targets then strike an area after a short delay. Every other time this ability is used, one of the three targets will also be targeted by Tribocharge.
- Tribocharge - Prototype Indigo tethers a target to a location. Movement away from this location builds up a charge. After a delay, the target is teleported back to the tethered location and takes increased damage based on the distance teleported. This attack creates Boiling Aether at the target's location just before teleportation.
- Boiling Aether - Scalding aether from the Mists collects into a growing pool. Upon reaching maximum size, the damage increases significantly. Dissipates after a short time.
- Boiling Aether (challenge mode only) - Scalding aether from the Mists collects into a growing pool. Upon reaching maximum size, the damage increases significantly. Lingers until cleared.
- Volatile Static - Prototype Indigo targets the fixated player with chain lightning. Each time the lightning jumps to a new target, it deals damage proportional to the distance of the jump.
