— In-game description

Cosmic Divide is an ultimate ability for Astra.
Summary[]
Cosmic Divide is a Vision Blocker ability that requires Astra to enter the Astral plane using Astral Form for her to be able to use it. Whilst in the Astral Plane, Astra can equip Cosmic Divide using right click (by default). She can then select two points on the map to start creating a linear wall that will form between and extend from the selected points after winding up. From a spectator's perspective, the wall has a formation time from the ground to its outer edges that go way beyond the playable areas on the map, but from an agent's perspective, the wall will appear to form instantaneously due to the speed at which the formation occurs in the map's playable areas.
Once formed, the wall blocks vision and prevents both bullets and any audio from passing through to the other side. Abilities can still be thrown through the wall.
Towards the end of its duration, the wall will give an audio cue that it is about to disappear. Similar to its formation, a spectator would be able to see that deformation immediately begins at the outer edges until it shrinks all the way to the ground. From an agent's perspective however, the wall will appear to instantly dissipate.
