— In-game description
|
Contingency is a Vision Blocker ability that Iso has to equip before casting. On primary cast, he will send a wall of energy forward as a grounded object that can pass through terrain, with its front face pointing in the direction it is cast and its edges bent inward, while on alt cast, it works similar to its primary cast, but with the wall moving half the speed. The wall can rise or fall as it reacts to changes in altitude, but cannot rise above or fall below certain values beyond its current altitude, and will either pass through terrain too high or stay at its current altitude in the air until encountering terrain within its range to react to.
The wall prevents bullets from passing through to the other side. Abilities can still be thrown through the wall.
The wall will play audio cues shortly before it is about to expire. Once it expires, the wall will rapidly shrink to the ground.
