Notes

• During Ethereal Shift, caster can only float around slowly at 3 m/s. Caster does not fall if mid-air. The caster can still turn their camera and character.
• Casting Ethereal Shift does not reset jump/dash, even if the player is mid-air when it is cast.
• Casting Ethereal Shift cancels any abilities currently being channeled.

• Ethereal Shift does not interrupt abilities that apply their effects using an aura centered on the caster, such as but not limited to Abrams' Siphon Life, Dynamo's Rejuvenating Aurora, Infernus' Concussive Combustion, Ivy's Kudzu Connection, Victor's Aura of Suffering, or Warden's Last Stand. This allows heroes to be invulnerable while using these abilities.

• Celeste's Shining Wonder will still bounce off an active Dazzling Trick during Ethereal Shift.

• Bebop's Sticky Bomb when self-cast will still explode during Ethereal Shift, but will deal self-damage to Bebop despite Ethereal Shift granting invincibility.
