Void Passage

Cooldown 25s

Creates a portal passageway through a surface

  • Places a set of two portals on either side of a surface, wall, or object creating a gate that allows you to pass through said obstacle.
  • Has an activation time of 1 second before the gate opens.
  • Lasts 15 seconds before closing.
  • The maximum depth of the gate is 30 meters.
  • Travel through the gate is instantaneous regardless of depth.
  • The maximum range for placing the gate is 45 meters.
  • The player using the gate is transported to the Void, becoming immune to all damage excluding the ring.
  • If the gate is placed on a ceiling or at the bottom of a sloped surface leaning at an angle greater than around 40 degrees, the bottom portal will create a string of void energy that you can interact with and ride up to the portal.
  • There is a warning indicator for an enemy gate being placed nearby, similar to the warning for thrown ordnance.
Passive

Gift from the Rift

Can remotely interact with a deathbox to claim one item. Cannot be a shield core.

  • You can see any deathboxes within 75 meters of you through the environment, highlighted with the color of the highest rarity item within them.
  • You can look inside any visible deathboxes and seize one item that isn't a shield core.
  • This passive disables on a deathbox only once you seize the item, meaning you can still loot a deathbox manually and then still have access to one of its items remotely.
UltimateZ

  • Alter throws a device that she and her allies can interact with through obstacles to teleport back to its location.
  • You can teleport knocked allies to Nexus by interacting with it
  • Lasts unlimited time
  • Has a range of 200 meters in which you can activate the teleport action.
  • Each player on Alter's team, including herself can teleport to the Nexus only once per 60 seconds
  • Travel to the Nexus takes up to 4 seconds depending on the distance and terrain obstructing it.
  • After initiating the teleport you leave behind a residual rift.
