Notes[edit]

  • This skill is only available when kneeling within the smoke field created by Sniper's Cover.
  • Only grants stealth to yourself.
  • Fails if the shadowstep target location would place you in invalid terrain.
  • If there is valid terrain within 600 units, but you cannot path to it it will shadowstep you as far as possible in a straight line.
