— In-game description
|
Thrash is an ultimate ability for Gekko.
Description[]
Thrash is primarily an Intel ability that Gekko has to equip before casting. Upon casting, he links with Thrash's mind after a brief deployment duration and steers her forward. Gekko's body will remain still in a channeling position whilst guiding Thrash, leaving him vulnerable to enemy gunfire and utility. Thrash has a limited vision radius, glides along the ground, and is controlled using movement and jump keys. Forward input has no effect as she will automatically move forward, and backwards input will only cause her to stop in place.
Gekko can activate Thrash during this time to command her to lunge forward and explode. Gekko's perspective will change to a third-person view of Thrash during the lunge, keeping the same maximum vision radius from the first-person perspective. The explosion detains any agents in range of the explosion, including allies and Gekko himself.
After the explosion, Gekko's perspective will return to his own body but will initially still have Thrash's vision radius cap, though this will immediately start to be restored until the vision radius cap is completely removed within a brief duration.
The first time in a round that Thrash either reaches her maximum duration or explodes, she then expires. Enemies can deal damage to Thrash and force her to expire after taking enough damage. Gekko can also press Thrash's ability key again to end his link with Thrash prematurely, causing her to expire in place. When Thrash expires, she turns into a dormant Globule.
Globules[]
- Main article: Passive Effects → Globules
Thrash will turn into a dormant globule when she first expires in a round. She will then remain there for a period of time, during which time Gekko can approach and reclaim her. Successfully retrieving Thrash will then put the ability on cooldown after which it can be used again. If Gekko does not reclaim Thrash within her globule lifespan, she will disappear from the map.
Thrash will not turn into a globule after her second use in a round.
