Dash

Dash · Movement

Player experience

You dash in the direction you are moving, and the camera banks with you. Standing still, the dash goes forward along your aim. It is the movement spell you start with. White Rhino Charge turns that blink into an offensive blast: dash farther and blast through enemies in your path. Each new rank makes it last longer and farther with each dash.

Product goal

Dash owns Movement, the path along the ground. It is the spell you start with, the way Stream is the weapon you learn on. White Rhino Charge keeps that blink viable once standing still gets you killed. Ground Pound owns the slam down. Those two slots stay theirs.

Upgrades

White Rhino Charge. A gold card. The dash blasts through enemies along the path and bursts at the end. You cannot be hit while dashing. Later ranks last longer, so the dash reaches farther.

As built

Shop gate: round 1.

Cast spends mana and impulses the body along aim for the dash duration. The local camera banks and pulls field of view for that window. The dash ends when the duration elapses.

Gold upgrade, required on Dash. Level 1 is AbilityId.WhiteRhinoCharge, a gold card after round 3 while Dash is equipped. Levels 2 through its max are ordinary upgrades in that same roll, still only while Dash is equipped. The round gate stays on the gold card.

White Rhino Charge — dash further and hit harder. Rank 1 makes the seat invulnerable for the dash. Rank 2 doubles dash duration.
