Tips and tactics[]

  • This ability removes stuns and roots and grants immunity to both for 0.3 seconds.
  • The teleport is stopped by some types of terrain, as well as certain indoor-outdoor boundaries such as cave entrances. Terrain issues can sometimes be avoided by using Blink mid-jump.
  • Blinking every time it comes off cooldown averages out to about a 19% run speed increase.
  • Blinking while falling will reset your momentum, causing you to fall straight down and restarting your fall damage counter.
  • If timed properly, Blinking near the ground at the end of a fall will place you on the ground without taking any fall damage.
