Info
- Death and decay encroach as Xaku detonates themselves, by 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; affected enemies also suffer +50% Void damage vulnerability and 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% reduced action speed while the ability remains active.
- Activation cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Damage and slow are affected by Ability Strength. Slow is capped at 100%, achieved with 400% ability strength.
- Range is affected by Ability Range.
- Casting speed is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Void damage vulnerability is not affected by mods.
- Void damage from the blast does not reset Sentient damage resistances.
- Destructible Objects within the blast radius are always damaged regardless of line of sight from Xaku.
- After detonation, Xaku exposes their skeletal form for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds or until manual deactivation by holding the ability key again (default 4 ) to reform their body. While in their skeletal form, Xaku increases 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.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Dodge chance and area damage reduction, move speed bonus, ability duration pause are not affected by mods.
- Xaku may still fight with their weapons, cast abilities, and perform parkour Maneuvers normally while in skeletal form.
- Dodge chance is displayed next to the shield and health indicators as a buff icon with the chance percentage.
- 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.
- Xata's Whisper infuses Xaku's equipped weapons with additional Void damage, further amplified by The Vast Untime's Void damage vulnerability on enemies.
- Enemies weakened by The Vast Untime receive more damage from Grasp of Lohk's Void replicas.
- Enemies crippled by The Lost's sub-abilities can be affected by The Vast Untime.
- 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.
- Holding the ability key will end The Vast Untime early instead.
- 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.
- Enemies affected by The Vast Untime's vulnerability and slow effects emit a Void energy cloud around their torso.
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.
