EQUIP the power of nightmare itself. FIRE to unleash a wave of unstoppable nightmare energy. Enemies caught in the wave are Marked by terror trails, Deafened, and Decayed.
— In-game description

Nightfall is an ultimate ability for Fade.

Description[]

Nightfall is primarily an Intel ability that Fade must equip before casting. Upon casting she will send a wave of nightmare energy forward. Any enemy agents hit by the wave will be deafened, afflicted with Decay, and marked with a Terror Trail. The decayed health will immediately start to be restored at a constant rate after being applied.

If Nightfall's wave affects an enemy, an alerting screech will be heard.

Terror Trail[]

Nightfall will mark enemies with a Terror Trail, creating a black trail on the ground between Nightfall's point of origin and the affected agent, that Fade and her allies can follow. For the duration of the mark, Terror Trail will track the affected agent's movements, extending their current trail. The trail can only be broken by teleports (the trail will begin again from the agent's new position as long as they are still marked but will not connect to the original trail) or cleansed by Yoru's Dimensional Drift. When the agent's mark debuff expires, the trail will disappear.
