Neon Trail

Unlock fish: Neon Tetra
Trigger: Move
Cooldown: While moving
Research time: 12 min

Overview

While moving, leaves glowing neon tetras that illuminate and damage enemies along your path.

Research note

I am rather fond of its scales.

Mechanics

While moving, about every 0.3 seconds a neon tetra spawns about 2.5 to 5 tiles to your side. Standing still does not trigger it. Each tetra lives about 2 seconds and deals contact damage with a large hitbox.

Enemies within about 12.5 tiles also receive illumination and a position marker for visibility in dark areas. The marker is visual only and deals no separate damage. There is no independent cooldown bar; trigger rate depends only on movement.

Tips

Move while fighting to lay a lit trail. More valuable in darkness or against fast enemies than for raw damage alone. Standing and shooting does nothing.
