Description[]
| “ | EQUIP Dizzy. FIRE to send Dizzy soaring forward through the air. Dizzy charges then unleashes plasma blasts at enemies in line of sight. Enemies hit by her plasma are Blinded.
— In-game description
|
Dizzy is primarily a Blind ability that Gekko has to equip before casting. On cast, he will send Dizzy forward as a projectile, who spends a brief duration charging up.
While active Dizzy slows her trajectory, firing plasma blasts at each enemy in her line of sight within a certain distance. Dizzy can fire multiple blasts at once. The blasts splash in a small circular area around their target on impact, covering the screens and minimap of any enemy agents in range of the splash (including Gekko and his allies should they be in the same range as the enemies) with plasma. The plasma will leave some visibility around the edges of the screen, and after a fixed duration will gradually fade away. Affected agents cannot avoid the blind by all means even when turned away.
When Dizzy reaches her maximum duration, she expires. Enemies can deal damage to Dizzy and force her to expire after taking enough damage. When Dizzy expires, she turns into a dormant Globule.
Globules[]
- Main article: Passive Effects → Globules
Dizzy will turn into a dormant globule when she expires, falling to the ground if she was airborne at this moment. She will then remain there for a period of time, during which time Gekko can approach and reclaim her. Successfully retrieving Dizzy will then put the ability on cooldown after which it can be used again. If Gekko does not reclaim Dizzy within her globule lifespan, she will disappear from the map.
