==Trivia==
*In English, Retrograde means to move in reverse, which bears relationship due to this ability's nature.
*This ability has the same effects as Biological's and Hydraulic's Subversion abilities. However, Retrograde MUST be upgraded to Tier 2 in order to be cast upon enemies (Unlike Subversion, which does not require upgrades in order to be cast upon enemies).
*This ability looks identical to Epiphany, Traumatize, Psychopath Form, Doom and Tick Tock.
*Two versions of Subversion's icon has a recolor to this ability.
*Retrograde's effect is applied after other damage and healing modifiers, resulting in, among other things, damage converted to healing still being shielded and healing converted to damage ignoring sheilds.
*Retrograde does not effect DOT or HOT on the turn it expires.
