Blink

Blink is a utility skill which allows the player to teleport to the targeting reticle's location. Holding the skill button summons a targeting reticle 75 units in the direction the player is facing, which can then be moved to any point up to 120 units away. The targeting reticle is still subject to movement collision, meaning that the player can't Blink to unreachable places, or through certain obstacles.

For 3 seconds after teleporting, you'll be affected by Blink Lag. This debuff increases the EP cost of the next cast by 20 EP. The debuff stacks up to 3 times

Instantly teleport to the target location.

For 3 seconds after teleporting, you'll be affected by Blink Lag. This debuff increases the EP cost of the next cast by 20 EP. The debuff stacks up to three times.

Mechanics

Tapping the skill button instantly teleports the player 75 units in the direction they're facing. This can be used to get away from dangerous situations quickly, and evade attacks.

After a Blink, most enemies will still target the player's previous spot for a short while, giving some extra time to deal with them.

Blink Lag

Successive casts of Blink increase the EP Cost by 20 EP per cast. The penalty resets after 3 seconds.

Note: Currently, there is a bug that causes Blink Lag to not cap at 3 casts, meaning that the penalty has no real EP cap.

Tips

  • At level 3, Blink's first cast does not consume any EP. This makes it viable in all builds, as it provides a free movement ability at the mere cost of 3 Silver Points, which are plentiful late game
  • Blink can still be used to avoid attacks if your shield is broken
    • In particular, Elite Echo of Madness's Blink Slashes are unavoidable. The only ways to prevent damage is to shield the attack, or Blink away just before a slash happens
  • Blink does not interrupt Titan's Throw Spin Attacks. This can be used to deal extra damage to distant enemies by blinking into them
  • Blink can be used to cross certain risky obstacles in a safe manner, such as Winter's Ice Maze, or the Fire Trails caused by Luke during his Berserk State
