Understand Tear Gas
Useful when…
- Blinding nearby enemies after using Smoke Screen
- Adding a short-range control effect to Ash in Conclave
Effect and rank scaling
Tear Gas blinds enemies within range for 3 seconds. The radius is 1 meter at rank 0, 3 meters at rank 2, and 4 meters at rank 3; the duration remains 3 seconds across those ranks.
Variant and slot fit
This is a Conclave variant for Ash, with Zenurik polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. It is a standard-slot augment and its effect is a short-range blind tied to Smoke Screen, so consider the Conclave context and slot cost when deciding whether to equip it.
Other Ash augment effects
Smoke Shadow conceals nearby allies and grants critical chance while invisible. Teleport Rush adds parkour velocity after Teleport and can extend Smoke Screen under its stated execution conditions. Seeking Shuriken reduces armor on enemies hit by Shuriken. These standard variants offer ally concealment, movement and duration, or armor reduction rather than Tear Gas's Conclave blind.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The blind lasts 3 seconds and has a maximum radius of 4 meters.
- This is specifically the Conclave variant, so do not confuse it with the separate standard Smoke Screen augment.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the blind reaches beyond the listed 4-meter maximum radius.
- Confusing Tear Gas with the standard Smoke Shadow augment.
