Basics
*Trap Master summons a Bunny Doll on the spot and becomes invisible. The Bunny Doll will pull nearby enemies towards itself and restore energy for Trap Master, and it will explode upon expiration.*

* By tapping the skill button, on the current occupied tile, Trap Master summons a Bunny Doll along with numerous trap tiles around the Doll.
	+ It takes 2 seconds to summon the Doll after the player tapped the skill button. During this time, Trap Master becomes invisible and invincible.
	+ Unlike the invisibility provided by other sources, such as Extra Crown and Assassin's 3rd skill, this one doesn't wear off when attacking.
	+ The Bunny Doll is immune to damage from all sources. However, it will decay over time. By default, it lasts for about 8 seconds.
	+ When the Doll expires, it will self-destruct, dealing 30 fire damage and inflicting Burn.
		- The damage increases by 1 per character Level, such that a max Level Trap Master deals 37 fire damage. The Burn debuff's damage is unaffected.
	+ Every 1.2(?) seconds the Doll launches a lasso to pull enemies toward itself. By default, it can only pull 1 enemy at a time.
	+ With each pull, the Doll will restore 9 energy for Trap Master.
	+ The lasso itself does 2 damage, and can reach enemies 12(?) tiles away from the Doll.
	+ Trap tiles are placed in 2 "circles" around the Doll. Each trap tile can deal 2 damage every 0.5 seconds to the enemy.
	+ These Trap tiles poke up and down much faster than regular trap tiles, they show up 0.5 seconds and hide for 0.2 seconds.
* Master's Trick has CD of 5 (3) seconds, which starts after the Doll explodes.
* Master's Trick can be enhanced by these following Buffs:
	+ - Increases number of lassos by 2(?).
	+ - The Doll will launch lassos more regularly.

	+ The burst area is an upside-down equilateral triangle with a side length of 12 tiles. Crates inside this area will be destroyed.
* 5 Pigeons burst out of the hat as the hat deals damage. There are numerous smaller pigeons flying out, but they only serve as cosmetic.
	+ For every 2 character levels, Trap Master can summon one extra pigeon: At level 0/2/4/6 he can summon 5/6/7/8 pigeons.
	+ The pigeons will circle around Trap Master, and they can block bullets and destroy crates.

		- Debuffs: Burn, Poison, Freeze, Electrify.
		- Elemental pool: Fire pool, Ice pool.
		- Implosion and small explosion.
	+ A pigeon will only despawn after it has dealt 5 damage total to the enemies (excluding the damage from special effects), or after the player recasts the skill.
	+ Upon death, they will explode and deal 5 damage in a small area.
	+ As long as the pigeons are around, the player can command them to rush in and attack any auto targeted enemy by holding the skill button.

	+ It takes roughly 2 seconds for the big pigeon to perform this attack.
