Item Info[]
This Cloaking Device was previously used by JoAnna Dark in order to make herself invisible as she goes on missions for the Carrington Institute. It uses alien technology to warp light around its user to create a refractive field that prevents others from seeing them. It’s not perfect however as enough kinetic force can cause the field to be disturbed such as by firing a gun or punching an enemy.
Item Usage[]
When a fighter picks up the cloaking device it will immediately begin to warp light around them to hide them from view. This will include any objects the fighter can produce, effects that come with their attacks, and even their name tag. The Cloaking Device however will not make any held item such as a Beam Sword invisible. The Cloaking Device isn’t perfect however. While a fighter is completely invisible while standing still, the more they move around and the faster they do so the more the Cloaking Device will fail to keep them hidden as the background distorts around them and reveals their position. Attacking while under the effects of the Cloaking will even make the fighter completely visible for a brief moment during the attack. As a nerf from its previous appearance in Melee, the Cloaking Device will no longer prevent a fighter from taking damage, but it does reduce the damage by 0.2x. The Cloaking Device will wear off after 10 seconds.
