Basic · EasyWave 1Theme: MediaHolds 2

A wide-net basic distractor with the widest detection radius of any basic: it spots you from far away and holds two players at once, making it dangerous for its tier.

How it distracts you

  1. Capture (~8s). With charisma 40, a baseline Plain player needs about 8 seconds in its line-of-sight to be captured; a high-awareness Scholar stretches that past 10s, while a low-awareness Dash is caught faster. Break line-of-sight to reset.
  2. Hold (~36s). Once caught you're held ~36 seconds (less with high Recovery or Meditation) until rescued.

Its signature is that huge 16-stud detection radius: it notices you from far away, and it can pin two teammates at once.

Counters

  • Stay outside its 16-stud radius; keep walls between you and it.
  • It's slow (speed 10), so once you break line-of-sight you can out-walk it.
  • Bring high Awareness to buy reaction time.
