— In-game description
|
Paranoia is a basic ability for Omen.
Description
Paranoia is a Blind ability that Omen must equip before casting. Upon casting, he throws forward a blinding orb that passes through any terrain. The speed at which the orb travels can be increased or decreased if Omen is moving forwards or backwards, respectively, on cast. Moving directly sideways does not affect the orb's travel speed.
Any agent or deployed ability with a field of vision that is hit by the orb will be nearsighted. Agents will see warning VFX appear on their screen if they are standing in an area the orb will pass through.
