Shadow Sneak Effect

For a short time, increases the user's movement speed and has it enter stealth. While this move is active, the user's next boosted basic attack deals additional damage. While this move is active, if the user exits stealth and a hindrance has not left it unable to act, it will be able to enter stealth again.

How to Use Shadow Sneak

Invisibiity is Different from Prankster

Shadow Sneak's invisibility is different from the one from Prankster.

Scout for Enemies

Use Shadow Sneak to scout for enemies and relay that information to your team. Since your invisibility won't expire even if you're close to enemies, you can stay close to enemies without fear of retaliation. Just be sure not to use your moves or attack while you're invisible.

Catch Up to Targets

You can also use Shadow Sneak to catchup to targets. The move's movement speed increase should be enough of a boost to allow you to close the gap.

Sneak Past Enemies and Score Goals

Use Shadow Sneak to sneak past enemies and score points on their goal zones. The invisibility and movement speed increase allow you to ignore enemies that are defending their goal zones. Moreover, if you're not stunned after you break invisibility for a given time, you'll regain the invisibility.

Ambush Targets

Since your invisibility won't break even if you're close to enemies, you can use Shadow Sneak to set up your other moves and ambush targets.

Recover HP

Once upgraded, you can heal up when you use Shadow Sneak. However, the healing effect only works during invisibility.
