How to play
Hypnos - Fundamentals
Within 1 second of performing any 3-Ping, hold Basic Attack to enter Tactical Stance and deal continuous Ice DMG to nearby enemies
Tactical Stance gunshots are considered Basic Attacks, and will generate Signal Orbs when they hit enemies
Release Basic Attack during Tactical Stance to perform a backstep and trigger Blooming Shot, dealing Ice DMG in a straight line
This backstep has invincibility frames and is considered a dodge, so it can be used to evade incoming attacks and will trigger Matrix if it is off cooldown
If this backstep is timed to successfully evade an attack, the camera will dolly zoom, and the follow-up Blooming Shot will deal 3.5 times its original damage and have its invulnerability window extended
Yellow Orb Pings have invincibility frames that can also be used to evade attacks, though they cannot trigger Matrix
Blue Orb Pings toss a frost grenade that slows enemies hit and heals Hypnos and nearby allies
The healing radius of the frost grenade is much larger than its damage radius
Hypnos - Additional Information
Red Orb Pings function as an excellent movement ability and gap-closer, and will pass Hypnos through enemies if they are close enough
All orb pings have a brief Super Armor window, with the 3-Ping variants of each color lengthening the duration of this Super Armor
Hypnos automatically performs a free Yellow Orb 3-Ping when switched in during combat, allowing for immediate entry into Tactical Stance if Basic Attack is held down
The Yellow Orb invulnerability frames also allow him to evade attacks on entry if the swap-in is properly timed
