There are two ways to acquire Invisibility:

  2. Invisibility can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

As of the time of writing (add version), despite the description stating that it psychically manipulates the would-be observers around the target, it still works against pawns that are psychically deaf.

Analysis[edit]

  • Invisibility makes enemies unable to target your allies.
    • It is not broken on attacking making it a good choice for close-ranged attackers.
      • It does not work well with melee blocker strategy. Invisible pawns do not block hostiles from pathing through them.
    • Self-cast to allow your psycaster to safely get within range.
    • Cast on snipers to aggro sieges or mech clusters.
    • Cast on wielders of doomsday rocket launchers and the like to give them time to fire.

Version history[edit]

  • Royalty DLC Release - Added.
  • 1.1.2571 - Cost increased from 30 to 45, range increased from 10 to 15.
