Related traits

Inspiration

• Warden's Feedback — Focus weapon skills reflect projectiles. Reduces recharge on focus weapon skills.

Chronomancer

• Time Catches Up — Activating a Shatter gives your illusions superspeed. Shatters deal increased damage to movement-impaired foes.

Notes

Anomalies:

• Evading enemies still get affected by the cripple.
• Allied miniatures get crippled when crossing the curtain.
• The light field lingers, even after using   Into the Void, for the remaining duration.

• The curtain can affect a limitless amount of targets.
• There is a one second cooldown after casting Temporal Curtain before Into the Void can be used.
