Itzal

• In Archwing missions, the Itzal instantly teleports 160 / 240 / 320 / 400 meters in the direction of the HUD's target reticle, breaking all enemy missile locks in the process. Enemies within 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 meters of the destination point will be stunned for 7 / 10 / 12 / 15 seconds.
  • In Landscape missions, the range of this ability is reduced down to 16 / 24 / 32 / 40 meters of teleportation and 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 meters of the stun radius. Additionally, enemies affected will only be temporarily staggered for 3 seconds.
  • Stun duration in archwing mode is affected by Ability Duration, while the stun duration in landscape mode is not.
  • Teleportation range and stun radius are affected by Ability Range.
• Blink is limited by line of sight and cannot teleport the Itzal through or into solid objects.
• If aimed at objects or enemies, Blink will stop a short distance from the target.
• When Blink is cast, the Itzal's momentum is retained as it instantaneously travels from one point to another.
• Casting this ability nullifies a Temporal Dreg tractor beam's hold on the Itzal.

• Use Blink to cross long distances quickly. When activated whilst moving or sprinting, Blink can very easily teleport you up to 2 or 3 times the listed range, making it very easy to quickly cover the long distances between points in Archwing Interception missions.
• Whilst judging the distances can be tricky, this ability can be useful for closing in to make melee attacks.

  • Has no negative effect on this ability.
• Maximized Ability Range increases the teleportation range to 640 meters and the stun radius to 320 meters.
  • Has no negative effect on this ability.
• Maximized Ability Strength has no positive effect on this ability.
  • Has no negative effect on this ability.

• In Archwing missions, the Itzal deploys a cloaking field that renders itself and all allies within 40 / 52 / 64 / 76 meters invisible for as long as they are stationary, making enemies unable to find and attack them. Allies that move within the field will have their invisibility removed; similarly if the caster moves, all nearby allies will be revealed.
  • In Landscape missions, the range of this ability is reduced down to 4 / 5.2 / 6.4 / 7.6 meters of invisibility.
  • Cloaking field radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • While Penumbra is active, enemies will be susceptible to Stealth Damage Multipliers from melee attacks as long as the Itzal remains stationary. Lunging with melee attacks will deactivate the cloaking field.
• Penumbra drains 5 energy per second and will consume energy for as long as the ability is active. Penumbra will end if the Itzal runs out of energy, the caster moves, or the ability is deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 2 ).
  • Activation and channeling energy costs are affected by Ability Efficiency.
  • Channeling cost is affected by Ability Duration.
• When Penumbra is activated, enemies locked onto the user will immediately switch to a different target. If they have no other targets, they will return to passive status until fired upon again. Unlike aggressive ground enemies who may fire upon or melee attack the position the user is at, enemies will simply move to the position of the cloaked player.
• Activating Penumbra will also break homing locks for seeking projectiles, such as the missiles fired by Hellion Dargyns, causing them to veer wildly off-course.
• Penumbra will reset enemy alert status once activated and all allies are cloaked, allowing for completion of the Stealth Challenge Reward even after being spotted.
• Casting Blink, Cosmic Crush, or Fighter Escort does not break Penumbra's cloaking field.
• The drones spawned by Fighter Escort will not attack enemies if cloaked by Penumbra (this may be a bug).
• Casting this ability nullifies a Temporal Dreg tractor beam's hold on the Itzal.

• Take advantage of the ability to shoot out of the cloaking field to attack enemies whilst tougher Archwings draw fire, as Itzal doesn't have as much Armor, Health, or Shielding as the Odonata or Elytron.
• You can still use the basic Blink ability to move around without breaking the Penumbra field. Combining the two abilities is great for escaping and recovering shields and health, as enemies won't pursue you.
• Use Penumbra as a form of cover or protection whilst reviving incapacitated allies; they'll also receive the benefits of the cloak, and so won't be attacked by enemies as soon as they've recovered. This gives them more time to get their bearings and fire off any useful area-suppression abilities they might have.
• Penumbra is very useful while protecting a point in Interception. While cloaked you cannot be targeted, allowing you to easily kill enemies, and when you run low on energy use Cosmic Crush to quickly gather energy from killed enemies to repeat the process.

• Maximized Ability Duration reduces the energy cost over time to 3.85 energy per second.
  • Has no negative effect on this ability.
• Maximized Ability Efficiency reduces the activation cost to 6.75 energy and energy cost over time to 2.25 energy per second.
  • Has no negative effect on this ability.
• Maximized Ability Range increases the cloaking field radius to 121.6 meters.
  • Has no negative effect on this ability.
• Maximized Ability Strength has no positive effect on this ability.
  • Has no negative effect on this ability.

• In Archwing missions, the Itzal forms a black hole in front of itself that violently pulls in all enemies and Pickups within 120 / 120 / 140 / 140 meters before exploding to deal 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500 Blast damage within 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 meters.
  • In Landscape missions, the range of this ability is reduced down to 12 / 12 / 14 / 14 meters of pull radius and 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 meters of explosion radius.
  • Explosion damage is affected by Ability Strength.
  • Damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and decreases with distance.
  • Explosion radius and pull radius are affected by Ability Range.
• Pull strength seems dependent on enemy mass and speed; e.g. an Ogma won't be pulled as close as a Dargyn.

Main article: Cold Snap

Cold Snap is an Itzal Augment Mod for Cosmic Crush that inflicts a Cold proc to any enemy affected by the ability, with enemies close to the player being frozen outright.

• Cosmic Crush can also be used to pull items (e.g. health orbs, resources) to the user. It has a much larger pull range for items than the base Ability Range implies.
• Activating this ability will not break Penumbra, allowing for safer gathering of energy/health restores.
• Care should be taken with this ability. Whilst it is powerful at lower levels, pulling enemies in close could be a bad idea; if any survive, they'll be in the perfect position to attack.

  • Has no negative effect on this ability.

• In Archwing missions, the Itzal launches 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 Locust Drones that independently attack enemies within a range of 80 meters using lasers that deal continuous Electricity damage. These drones will disappear after 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds. If a drone is destroyed by enemy fire or detonates after the ability's duration expires, it will deal 1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 2500 Blast damage within a radius of 60 / 100 / 120 / 160 meters.
  • In Landscape missions, the range of this ability is reduced down to 8 meters of beam range and 6 / 10 / 12 / 16 meters of detonation radius.
  • Number of drones, beam damage (pending confirmation), and explosion damage are affected by Ability Strength.
  • Explosion damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and decreases with distance.
  • Electricity damage is effective against Machinery and Robotics but less effective against Alloy Armor.
  • Electricity status effect chains 50% of Fighter Escort's base damage to surrounding enemies in a small area of effect. Shocked enemies will also be briefly stunned.
  • Blast damage is effective against Machinery and Fossilized, but less effective against Ferrite Armor and Infested Sinew.
  • Blast status effect forces all enemies within a 5 meter radius to stumble and fall.
  • Drone duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Drones require line of sight for targeting acquisition.
• Drones will not be transported by Blink, will not open fire while under the effects of Penumbra, and will not attack during a sprint.
• Cannot be recast while active.

• The drones can distract enemies trying to attack you, drawing fire away from you (giving your shields time to regenerate) and dealing a little extra damage. Whilst they are fairly easily destroyed they are also small and agile, which means enemies without beam weapons will have a hard time hitting them.
• Whilst ineffective against high-level enemies, the drones can easily destroy lower-level targets by focusing their fire.
