[Duration]: 3 seconds
[Cool down]: 120 seconds
[Tips]: Shockwave can have a devastating effect when used in a narrow area in order to choke enemy movement.

Igor

[Blind Storm]: Blind Storm creates a 9.8m radius Electro-Magnetic bubble which temporarily blinds enemies who are caught within the storm.
[Duration]: 5.5 seconds
[Cool down]: 190 seconds
[Tips]: Blind Storm can be a great tool both; offensively & defensively. It can also be used to cancel out Hawkeye’s Motion Sensor detection.

[Duration]: 180 seconds
[Cool down]: 80 seconds

[Duration]: 15 seconds
[Cool down]: 150 seconds
[Tips]: Shadow Dance is great for scouting dangerous territories but it can also draw fire from enemies while team mates engage them in battle.

Tiffany

[Recover Health]: Recover Health has a 30m radius which heals all team mates within the radius for 20hp per second for 6 seconds.
[Duration]: 6 seconds
[Cool down]: 50 seconds

[Duration]: 8 seconds
[Cool down]: 135 seconds

[Duration]: 6 seconds
