Grants stealth.

— In-game description

Hide in Shadows is an effect almost identical to stealth created by some mesmer skills, but has a pink outline.

Mechanics

A character under the Hide in Shadows effect with the pink outline.

• This effect does not stack with Stealth.
• Unlike Stealth, which is able to be stacked up to 5 times, Hide in Shadows is able to be stacked up to 9 times. When capped, new stacks with a longer duration will be able to replace current stacks with a shorter duration. However, the current active stack cannot be replaced.
• Revealed prevents this effect from being applied by making affected creatures immune to it.
