When describing this back in the day, it was thought that just the '1' abilities could use this, but after years of discussion, it seems appropriate to make all abilities get the field-effect. It might also lead to changing some damage types of the actual abilities, like you have (for Saryn) Viral as the damage-type for Miasma, while Spore is Toxin. This change could possibly work to 'elemental locks' on certain abilities, such as WOF being locked to heat damage for Ember, even if in a field. It would be a nice addition, and would give some intricate team-play to squads.Įdit: Additional thoughts and points after reading comments. These are synergies, requiring two persons to gain the benefit. Volt's Speed (2) and Electric Shield (3), where casts when you pick up the Electric Shield give you the field Ī couple things have come up when discussing this and it's usually along the lines of 'do all abilities get the combo elemental damage' and 'wouldn't that be overpowered?' I would think that all single elemental based abilities get the combo bonus, and no it wouldn't be overpowered. Saryn's Spore (1) being cast on a friendly target

Some examples would be:Ĭhroma's Elemental Ward (2) and Effigy (4), where the Effigy emits the field.Įmber's Fire Blast (3) and World on Fire (4) You'd see 'field' effects from either one or multiple of the abilities. Saryn (toxin) + Volt (electricity) = CorrosiveĬhroma's benefit would be dependent on his current energy color, but would act like the above. Any frame with a single element type damage for its abilities (Chroma, Ember, Frost, Saryn, Volt, any single element frame made in the future) would gain a combination element when standing in the field of another single elemental frame.įrost (cold) + Volt (electricity) = MagneticĮmber (heat) + Volt (electricity) = Radiation
