Info

• Nyx expends 50 energy to launch 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 flying bolts of telekinetic energy toward her aiming reticle, which psychically seek out nearby enemies within her Line of Sight and 60 meters. Each psychic bolt dissipates and applies a  Stagger on successful hit, temporarily removing enemy Armor and Shields by 20% / 40% / 60% / 80% and  Slowing Infested by 5% / 10% / 15% / 20% for 5 / 7 / 9 / 11 seconds. When striking an enemy with armor, shields and/or Overguard, Nyx steals 25 armor per enemy to a cap of 1,000 points while lasting for 20 seconds, 75 shields per enemy and can flow into Overshields, and 500 Overguard to a cap of 7,500 points. An enemy that dies while afflicted by Psychic Bolts will spread 2 additional bolts.
  • Defense strip is capped at 100% at 125%  Ability Strength.
    • Enemies can still gain bonus shield buffs (such as from  Shield Ospreys), which are added after the shield strip value. This bonus shield buff can not be removed by Psychic Bolts.
  • Defense steal duration can be refreshed upon stealing additional defenses.
  • Each Enemy can only have defenses stolen once; repeated casts will not provide additional armor, shields, or Overguard if an enemy has been affected by Psychic Bolts before.
  • Bolts phase through obstacles in the environment.
  • Bolts will disappear after traveling for a few seconds if they do not strike targets.
• Can be recast while enemies are still debuffed. Recasting will cancel the effect on previous remaining targets.
• Targeted enemies will briefly radiate energy as a visual indicator, and an audio cue will be played.
• Psychic Bolts is a one-handed action. As such, it can be used while performing various maneuvers and actions without interruption.
