Smoke Screen

• Ash throws down a smoke bomb that staggers enemies within a radius of 10 meters for a short duration. Ash becomes untargetable for 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 seconds.
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Stagger radius is affected by Ability Range.
  • Stealth Damage Multipliers are applied to melee attacks. Coming into physical contact with the enemy while attacking will temporarily remove the damage bonus.
• Even though Ash is untargetable, enemies will continue to attack near his last known location, and will make attempts to retaliate when harmed.
• Does not make Ash silent. Firing an unsuppressed weapon while under the effects of Smoke Screen will still alert nearby enemies to the player's presence.
• Hides Ash from Security Cameras, which prevents them from activating laser barriers.
• Smoke Screen will also apply to any equipped companion.
• Ash can not be knocked down or staggered during the cast animation.
• Can be cast while moving or in mid-air.
• Cannot be recast while active.
• Smoke Screen does not end when Ash is downed.

Smoke Shadow is a Warframe Augment Mod for Ash's Smoke Screen that allows Ash to temporarily cloak nearby allies along with himself.

• Smoke Screen does not prevent damage from Orokin Lasers or AoE damage such as poison clouds and explosions.
• The ability's short duration makes Smoke Screen only useful for quick flanking movements.
  • The low duration also necessitates using the ability with care and paying attention to the remaining duration when active.
• Can be used when surrounded to stagger nearby enemies and escape.
