Ambush GUIDE
Understand Ambush
Useful when…
- Gain a temporary weapon-damage bonus when Ghost invisibility is broken.
- Use the bonus alongside Shade’s Ghost precept.
Trigger and effect
When Ghost invisibility is broken, Ambush grants Shade’s owner +60% Weapon Damage for 3 seconds at rank 0, +180% at rank 2, and +240% at rank 3. Ghost cloaks its owner when enemies are within 24 m, and the cloak is disrupted if the owner attacks.
Slot and rank costs
Ambush is a standard Shade mod with Penjaga polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. The listed rank steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, and 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 Credits, respectively. The Weapon Damage bonus lasts 3 seconds.
How it differs from other Shade mods
Ambush’s stated trigger requires Ghost invisibility to be broken. Revenge has a different effect: Shade will not attack an enemy unless that enemy has attacked its master within 10 m.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The Weapon Damage bonus lasts 3 seconds and requires Ghost invisibility to be broken.
- It uses a standard Shade mod slot.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Ambush to provide invisibility itself.
- Assuming the bonus lasts longer than 3 seconds or triggers without Ghost invisibility being broken.
