Lore
I cut through the air like a blade. I am a torrent of leaves kicked up in the wind. I grasp at the fabric of the universe and wrap myself in its tensile folds.
The higher I climb, the more the internal doubter makes himself known:
"But what if you fall?"
Does the spider fear a fall from her web? Do the stars tremble at the possibility they'll plummet from the heavens?
I dance with the mighty gale; I am cradled by the weave of the universe.
The doubter will never know the air as I do.
Abilities
Super
-
Silkstrike: Weave a vicious rope dart and tear through your targets.
- [Light Attack]: Swing the rope dart in front of you to deal damage. The tip of the dart deals bonus damage, and defeating targets with the tip causes them to explode.
- [Heavy Attack]: Swing the rope dart in a circular motion to deal heavy damage all around you.
- [Grenade]: Use the grapple to move forward quickly.
Class Ability
-
Gambler's Dodge: Dodge to perform a deft tumble, avoiding enemy attacks. Dodging near enemies fully recharges your Melee Ability. -
Marksman's Dodge: Dodge to perform an evasive maneuver with a steady hand. Dodging automatically reloads your weapon.
Movement
-
High Jump: While airborne, jump a second time to reach greater heights. -
Strafe Jump: While airborne, jump a second time with strong directional control. -
Triple Jump: While airborne, sustain your air control with a second or third jump.
Melee
-
Threaded Spike: Throw a rope dart that bounces between targets, damaging and severing them. The dart will return to you once it's done, returning melee energy to you for each target hit. Press [Melee] just as the dart gets back to you to catch it and increase the amount of energy returned.
Grenade
Grapple Weave a grappling hook, and quickly pull yourself forward. Grappling to a Tangle immediately recharges your grenade energy.
- During and shortly after grappling, your melee attack deals area damage and unravels targets.
Shackle Grenade: A thrown weapon of weighted Strand matter that detonates on impact, suspending targets and creating additional suspending subprojectiles.
Threadling Grenade: A woven projectile that reweaves itself into Threadlings while in flight.
Aspects
-
Ensnaring Slam: Activate your air move to consume your class ability energy and dive to the ground, suspending all nearby targets on impact. Using this ability extends class ability cooldown time. -
Threaded Specter: Activating your class ability leaves behind a decoy woven from Strand matter that draws the attention of nearby combatants.
- After taking significant damage or when combatants approach, the decoy detonates, dealing damage and releasing Threadlings that seek out and attack nearby foes.
-
Whirling Maelstrom: Destroying a Tangle will weave a violent, writhing mass of Strand fibers. The Strand mass seeks out and damages targets, emitting Unraveling projectiles when it defeats them. -
Widow's Silk: You have an additional grenade charge.
- Your grapple creates a Grapple Tangle at the grapple point.
