— In-game description

**Gatecrash** is a signature ability for Yoru.

## Description

Gatecrash is primarily a Mobility ability that Yoru must equip before casting. Upon casting he deploys a rift tether. Enemies can deal damage to the tether and destroy it, though Yoru and his team will be alerted if the tether is destroyed.

Yoru can use Primary and Alt Fire to control how the ability is set up. Primary Fire causes the tether to instantly travel forward a long the ground for as long as it lasts. If it hits vertical terrain at an angle to its travel direction (i.e. not perpendicular to the terrain) it will continue to move against the terrain until it can travel directly forward at full speed once more without interruption from terrain. Whilst in contact with terrain however, the tether begins to slow down and because of this may come to a complete stop before it can completely move past that section of terrain and continue on its path. The amount of friction between the tether and terrain depends on the angle of the tether's travel direction, with angles closer to being perpendicular to the terrain experiencing more friction.

Alt Fire places a stationary tether instead.

Whilst active, the tether is invisible to enemy agents beyond a short distance. They will only be able to see and hear the tether if they are in close enough proximity.

Yoru can either **recast** the ability to teleport to the tether's location, giving off an audio cue upon arrival at this spot, or **use** the ability to trigger a fake teleport, which plays the same audio cues as a regular teleport without actually teleporting Yoru to the tether. A fake teleport will leave a decal on the floor instead visible to all agents for a set duration.
