Effect

Notes

• Disguise

• Level 1

• Temporarily changes your appearance to surprise opponents.

• Use this when you are out of a pursuer’s field of vision for better results. Most effective when you stand close to a lookalike of your true skin.
• While fleeing, activate it right as you round a corner and turn around to surprise your pursuer.
• There’s a risk of being revealed when the effect expires. This exposure factor can be reduced through crafting.
• Ends as soon as you perform a kill or stun.

• Money Bomb

• Level 1

• Attracts civilians within a fixed radius, but has no effect on other characters, which reveals any player in the vicinity.

• You can drop the bomb at your feet or aim and throw it.
• Useful to reveal a target blended in a crowd or to impede the progress of an aggressor during an escape.

• Time Phase

• Level 6

• Slows targets and prevents them from getting feedback.

• You can drop the Time Phase at your feet or aim and throw it.
• When you hear the sound of a pursuer aiming at you, you can use Time Phase to cancel their lock and buy precious time.

• Decoy

• Level 6

• Changes the appearance of a civilian to mimic your own, and causes them to run away, tricking your pursuers.

• Good for misleading both pursuers and targets.
• Can be used to simply divert an approaching pursuer, or to set up a stun opportunity once they have been distracted.
• If you use Decoy while Disguised, the Decoy will mimic your Disguised appearance, which can be very confusing for your opponents.

• Morph

• Level 12

• Transforms civilians inside the area of effect into your duplicates.

• This is very useful to hide from pursuers, but make sure that you use it while hidden in a crowd.
• Offensive use: Morph a crowd from afar to reveal a blended target.

• Firecrackers

• Level 12

• Scares civilians and blinds opponents, revealing their presence.

• Can be used to identify opponents; watch the movements of all affected individuals carefully.
• You can drop Firecrackers at your feet or aim and throw them. The latter can be an efficient way to identify and/or stop a distant target.
• A blinded pursuer is unable to lock you, but can still kill you.

• Tripwire Bomb

• Level 18

• Explodes when a target or pursuer steps on it, preventing them from moving and performing any action during a short period.

• You can drop the bomb at your feet or aim and throw it. The bomb takes a few seconds to activate.
• Place a bomb in a narrow corridor (the entrance to a Domination territory, for instance) for an easy stun opportunity.
• The bomb can be set off with no consequences by an opponent who walks cautiously near it.

• Bodyguard

• Level 18

• Creates a duplicate of your character who will protect you from pursuers.

• Can only be used when you are being pursued.
• The Bodyguard cannot climb and focuses on a single pursuer at a time.
• A very effective way to confuse your pursuers. Stay close to your duplicate for maximum efficiency and defensive stun opportunities.
• Lock your pursuer before you activate Bodyguard – your duplicate will focus on the locked target very efficiently.

• Booby Trap

• Level 26

• Traps a nearby Chase Breaker to make it explode the next time an opponent uses it.

• Can be used both defensively during an escape, or offensively when you know in advance where a target is likely to run.
• A Booby Trap can be spotted on the ground. Walk carefully past it in order to not activate it.

• Glimmer

• Level 26

• Makes you almost invisible.

• Can be used to escape a pursuer or approach a target unnoticed.
• The slower you move, the less visible you are. If hidden, you’re almost completely invisible. If you run, an “aura” can be seen by experienced opponents.
• Ends as soon as you perform a kill or stun.

• Wipe

• Level 34

• Reveals all players in the ability radius, prevents them from using their abilities, and silences their whispers and heartbeats.

• This gives you free reign to kill an affected target, but keep in mind that they can still kill you in their weakened condition.
• Useful to reveal targets blended in crowds.

• Animus Shield

• Level 34

• Makes you immune to Poison, Bombs and ranged weapons.

• Can be used both offensively (for example, to resist the effect of a Smoke Bomb dropped by a target that spotted you) and defensively (to survive when a pursuer uses Abilities against you).
• Increases your chances to survive longer, especially as a sound effect reveals when someone aims at you.
• By default, the shield can only negate one Ability, but this can be upgraded through crafting (up to three shield “charges”).

• Teleport

• Level 42

• Teleports you to a different position on the map.

• Perfect to escape an incoming pursuer.
• You will always Teleport to a destination in your field of vision.
• Can be used in Artifact Assault mode to increase your chances to quickly bring back the Artifact to your base.

• Poison

• Level 42

• Poisons a target to slowly kill them.

• You can only poison a target in close proximity.
• There is no kill animation, so you can escape flashpoints stealthily.
• Even if you die before the Poison kills your target, you will still earn your Kill Score.

• Smoke Bomb

• Level 48

• Throws a Smoke Bomb to confuse civilians and opponents alike.

• You can drop the bomb at your feet or aim and throw it.
• Offensive use: score Focus bonus on target; prevent a target from fleeing.
• Defensive use: paralyze one or more pursuers for a follow-up stun.

Effect

Notes

• Disruption

• Level 4

• Scrambles the vision of a target and breaks an active lock.

• This can be used both offensively and defensively.
• This is a great ability to employ to elude a pursuer, or to turn the tables and stun them.

• Knives

• Level 12

• Throws Knives that slow down your target.

• Lock your target before throwing the Knives. A target that you have hit with Knives can still stun you, so don’t approach them recklessly.
• Knives prevent a victim from climbing and limit their range of action. Being hit by a Knife will cause a target to fall while climbing.

• Sabotage

• Level 28

• Counteracts the next Ability your target attempts to use while affected.

• This is especially useful in situations where a duel is imminent. Strike your target with Sabotage to increase the odds that you will win the encounter.

• Pistol

• Level 38

• Shoots the targeted character after securing a Lock.

• Hold to increase your accuracy.
• Good for rooftop chases, and for swiftly dispatching targets who lose their nerve and break cover to flee.

• Poison Dart

• Level 48

• Poisons a target from afar.

• The Cooldown begins only after the Poison kills the target.
• You can be spotted as you aim.
• The Poison Dart is more risky to use than the Pistol, but it rewards you with bigger bonuses.
