- In-game description  is a signature ability for Astra.

Description
Astral Form is an ability that Astra can instantly activate. Upon doing so, she will enter a higher plane that is a mirror counterpart of the entire map she is currently on. Astra is ghosted while in this plane, allowing her to move freely in the air using her movement keys and mouse to direct her. In the real world, her body remains in place in a channeling position which remains vulnerable to enemy gunfire and utility. A blue outline of her real body can be seen whilst in the Astral plane. Each time Astra enters the Astral plane, she will appear above and slightly behind this blue outline. As an Attacker, she can also see the location of the spike. Outlines representing allied or enemy agents will not appear in the Astral plane. Astra will still be able to hear anything that happens around her body in the real world whilst in Astral Form, though audio is heavily dampened.

Whilst in the Astral Plane, Astra can select a position to place a Star there that will appear in the same position on the main map. Astra can activate these Stars both within and outside the Astral plane using her basic abilities. Each Star placed consumes a charge. Charges can be replenished within a round by recalling a Star using Dissipate, though there is a cooldown between recalling the Star and being able to place it again.

Astral Form can be used during the Buy Phase but any placed Stars will only be revealed to the enemy team just before the barrier drops. Once the barrier drops, the Stars have a brief windup time before they can be used.

Astra must use Astral Form to be able to use her ultimate, Cosmic Divide.
