— In-game description
|
Blindside is a Blind ability that Yoru must equip before casting. On cast he will throw an invisible fragment as a projectile that will bounce off of any surface. If the fragment does not collide with anything after a set amount of time, it will fade away.
Upon collision with a surface the fragment will become visible to enemies as it winds up briefly before detonating. Any agent or object in line of sight of the detonation will then be flashed.
