The Vast Untime Temporarily shed the outer pieces of Xaku in a destructive blast, then stalk the battlefield in a new, swifter skeletal form. Enemies damaged by the body shrapnel are rendered weaker to Void Damage. Xaku's other active abilities' duration is frozen in time and resumes once The Vast Untime expires.

Info
- Death and decay encroach as Xaku detonates themselves, expending
100 energy to explosively fragment their body parts outward. Enemies within direct Line of Sight and 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 meters of Xaku receive 600 / 800 / 1,000 / 1,200 
Void damage from the blast and suffer 50% Void Damage Vulnerability and 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% Slow for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds. For the same duration, Xaku's skeletal form is exposed, increasing their passive ability's Dodge chance and area damage reduction to 75%, grants themselves a 20% movement speed bonus, and completely pauses the duration timers of Xaku's other abilities. Xaku can reform their body and manually deactivate the ability by holding the ability key (default 4 ).
- Slow is capped at 100%, achieved with 400% Ability Strength.
- Debuffed enemies emit a Void energy cloud around their torso.
- Increased dodge chance is displayed next to the shield and health indicators as a buff icon with the chance percentage.
- Void damage from the blast does not reset Sentient damage resistances.
- The blast can destroy Objects, which does not require line of sight.
- Slow is capped at 100%, achieved with 400%
- Ability Synergy:
- The Vast Untime pauses the ability duration timers of Xaku's other abilities, including both currently active and newly cast abilities while in skeletal form.
- Only abilities belonging to Xaku originally are affected by the timer pause, whereas subsumed abilities via the Helminth system are not affected.
- Enemies hit by The Vast Untime's explosion are Void damage vulnerable to Xata's Whisper, Grasp of Lohk, and The Lost's Deny.
- The Vast Untime pauses the ability duration timers of Xaku's other abilities, including both currently active and newly cast abilities while in skeletal form.
- Can be recast while active in skeletal form by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ), causing Xaku to detonate again and affect new enemies in range, as well as refreshing ability duration to full. Note that there is a small window where the timers of Xaku's other abilties can run down before The Vast Untime is recast.
- Activating The Vast Untime is a full-body animation that restricts movement and other actions, while deactivation is near-instantaneous.
- Xaku crouches in place, visually detaching their body pieces and suspending them in the air with Void energy tethers. Xaku then reels back, surging into the air, while most of their pieces scatter outward in an expanding Void energy blast. Xaku's skeletal form retains some body pieces for bare minimal structural support. Reforming the body pieces on Xaku causes them to quickly regrow on the skeleton.
- Xaku's Armor Cosmetics and Syandana are hidden during the skeletal form. Regalia, Sigils, and Ephemera remain visible.
- Equipping the Corporeal appearance auxiliary attachment will have Xaku retain their normal form during The Vast Untime; when casting the ability, Xaku's armor pieces will still fly out and then immediately reattach themselves.
- Equipping the Skeletal appearance auxiliary attachment will have Xaku appear in their skeletal form even when not using The Vast Untime.
Tips & Tricks
- When modded with high Ability Range, this ability can be used to destroy Storage Containers and Resource Deposits across a massive area, even through walls. When paired with a large Loot Radar, this is an excellent strategy for locating Resource Caches, Syndicate Medallions, and other static objects requiring direct pickup, as those would be the only loot icons that do not disappear or "move" when damaged by the blast. A high gather range from Vacuum or Fetch will also help to clear the area of common loot and show only the valuable resources that must be manually retrieved.
