— In-game description
|
Fault Line is a Crowd Control ability that Breach has to equip before casting. While equipped, he will see an area of effect in front of him where he can set off a seismic blast. On cast, Breach can choose to increase the length of this area by initially holding his fire key to charge up the ability for a brief duration. On release the quake will then instantly appear, winding up briefly before exploding to concuss any player within its area.
The area of effect is spawned several meters in front of Breach.
