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
