Mechanics

Jurisdiction is a channeled skill which has three charge levels, each with additional effects. Charge levels are indicated visually by the skill's animation and sound effect.

• At charge levels 1 and 2, channeling can be ended early by pressing Jurisdiction's sequence skill   Fire Jurisdiction, which shoots a projectile with a corresponding effect.
• When fully channeled, it reaches charge level 3 and automatically fires a slower moving projectile, granting access to skill   Detonate Jurisdiction. Detonation provides an AoE effect, including knockback against multiple enemies.
• Pressing and holding the skill's hotkey results in automatically shooting and detonating a charge level 3 projectile at melee range.
