Analysis

• Mass Chaos Skip skips all units in the area randomly, friend or foe, as well as briefly stunning them on arrival at their new location.
  • Skip multiple enemies out of cover at once, exposing them to gunfire.
  • Only skips things to a location within line of sight of their starting position. However, it does not require line of sight from the caster to a pawn to initiate the skip (ie. it'll skip a pawn that's on the other side of a wall, but they'll still be on the other side of that wall afterwards).
  • Note that "line of sight" operates based on actual sight mechanics (ie. the ability to see an area for the purposes of shooting it, using psycasts, etc), _not_ being able to path to it. Buildings that do not permit pathing but do permit being shot over/through will not block Chaos Skip.
  • Be careful: you may accidentally skip the enemies behind or even right next to your pawns. The brief stun when the target arrives at the new location can permit time to react, however.
