Negates the slowdown when hit by an Arc Star.
Destroys Arc Snare upon contact
Revenant's upper body hitbox is larger while Shadow Shroud is active, and returns to normal once depleted.
The Shadow Shroud will slowly recharge overtime; direct damage will pause the regen.
Shadow doesn't regen before it is depleted entirely first.
Securing a knock or assist knockdown will bring back the shadow shroud to full health immediately, extend the Shroud's duration for 5 seconds (capped at 25 seconds), and recharge tactical.
