Wallraise is a level 4 psycast that drives pawns insane in its area of effect.

Acquisition

There are two ways to acquire the psycast Wallraise:

  1. Upon reaching psylink level 4, a random psycast of level 4 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 4 psycast.
  2. Wallraise can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

Analysis

  • Wallraise creates a wall of rocks in a cross shape.
    • Creates impromptu cover for your shooters to shelter behind.
    • Use to create LOS blocker against rocket launchers that are about to fire. If you are quick you can even block the rockets mid-flight. Note the 60 ticks (1 sec) casting time, though it can be reduced by reducing Aiming Time.
    • Blocking access to doors and forcing different enemy pathing
    • Temporarily plug gaps made in animal pens during raider attacks (best used by positioning a rock wall adjacent to the gap, not directly in it, so that the pen is enclosed while still leaving the gap itself accessible for rebuilding).
    • Protecting Unstable power cells while in mech clusters from mortar fire, gunfire, and secondary explosions.
    • Casting Wallraise on fire will extinguish it and prevent it from spreading again, although it's strictly worse than Waterskip in that regard.
    • Walling in vulnerable pawns far from the base (requires two)
