[New Active Trait]
Warp - Cooldown: 100 seconds, Initial cooldown: 40 seconds
- The most exhilarating performance can numb the viewers' senses and often conceals an imminent threat. Select a location up to 60 meters away and create a set of portals after a brief delay. Hunters can use these portals to warp, and each set of portals can only be used 2 times. There is a 3-second cooldown after each warp, and each set of portals lasts 30 seconds. Tapping the ability again can destroy the portals ahead of time.
This ability is currently only available in Quick Matches.
