Haunt

Death

At the height of combat, Mercurial's physical manifestation shatters, and the shadowy pieces haunt those who still cling to life.

• This ability got reworked into the current Haunt in the 6.33 gameplay patch.

• Creates 1 haunt illusion for the target upon cast. This illusion lasts for 0.6 seconds, during which it attacks the target.

• 4-7 seconds later, the illusion re-appears for another 0.6 seconds, repeating until the target was haunted 3/3/4/5 times.

• The 4-7 interval timer starts at the beginning of a haunt, not at the end and only uses integers.

• During the 0.6 seconds of each haunting, the target is stunned.

• When the target has no vision over Spectre, the haunting and stun duration increase to 1.6 seconds.

• The illusion is used for each haunt interval. This means when the illusion is destroyed, it does not appear again on the remaining intervals.
  • However, the stun is independent and does continue to occur for the remaining intervals.

• When Spectre or the target are dead upon the next haunting, the spell stops.
  • This means if either respawn before the next interval is going to happen, the spell does not end Prematurely.

The scattered shadows unite into the one true Spectre.

• This ability got reworked into the current Reality in the 6.33 gameplay patch.

• Requires Haunt (Pre 6.33) level 4 to be unlocked.

• Does not disjoint projectiles upon cast.

• When Reality is cast, the next time a haunting of Haunt occurs, Spectre herself visits the target, instead of a Haunt illusion.

• This does not skip the 4-7 second interval of Haunt; rather, its effect occurs at the next haunting.

• When this happens, no further hauntings occur on the target until Haunt is cast on it again.

• When cast while the target has no vision over Spectre, it uses the 1.6 second stun duration.

• When Spectre gets moved to the target, the player's camera is moved as well.
