Ryden: Abilities and Combos

Ryden is a 16 year old tech genius that makes use of quick and decisive thinking to eliminate his enemies! His main ability lies in the Spider Trap skill that allows players to land an explosive spider that detonates upon the enemies. It catches the enemy by surprise and latches onto them, exploding after a short delay. 

The target will bleed 18 HP every second for 3 seconds. Target radius of the spider will be 5 metres. Upon being caught, the spider will latch onto the enemy, slowing their movement speed by 80% for 4 seconds. A small freeze effect can also be observed immediately after the spider latches onto the target, immobilizing them instantly. The cooldown of the Spider Trap skill is 75 seconds. Here are the top ways to use Spider Trap in realistic situations:

• Ambushing enemies by deploying the spiders at random locations can help you in immobilizing them and doing some extra damage. 
• If you’re fighting to acquire a zone, it’s best that you first send out Spider Traps to lure your enemies and prioritize taking them out. 
• Lastly, Spider Traps can also be used to act as a defensive mechanism if you’re outnumbered and looking to escape the area.
