— In-game description
|
Arc Rose is a Blind ability that Vyse must equip before casting. While equipped, her crosshair will be replaced with an indicator to place an arc rose. The crosshair will turn blue if it is placed on a viable position to be cast in, and will turn red for unviable positions. Arc Rose can also be cast on the opposite side of viable surface by using Alternate Fire. On cast, the rose will travel to the location and briefly deploy, then it will turn invisible and remain at its position indefinitely.
Upon activation, the rose will briefly windup before flashing enemies within range. Any agent or object in line of sight of the detonation will then be flashed.
Enemy agents who approach it will be able to see it once they get within close enough proximity. The rose can be recalled but will go on a short cooldown before it can be redeployed; if the rose was recalled even after it was used, the cooldown will reset. The rose will deactivate if Vyse is killed or suppressed, revealing it. Enemies can deal damage to the rose and destroy it, though Vyse and her team will be alerted if it is destroyed, and the rose will go on a longer cooldown.
