=== Audience Participation - Notes ===
* Sinclair has a 1s delay to use the target ultimate after copying.
* Sinclair can use Audience Participation even if the target enemy hasn't unlocked their ultimate yet.
* If Spectral Assistant is active, Sinclair can use the teleport ability while copying an ultimate.
* Sinclair only copies the properties of the ultimate, which can make it weaker compared to the original hero. For example, when copying [[Haze]]'s Bullet Dance, they will deal less damage due to their lower fire rate and lack of the Fixation passive ability.
* Sinclair gets permanent bonus health from kills or assists with [[Mo & Krill]]'s Combo, and permanent bonus spirit power from kills with [[Grey Talon]]'s Guided Owl.
* Audience Participation has instant cooldown if Sinclair kills an enemy with [[Shiv]]'s Killing Blow T3.
* Audience Participation has instant cooldown if Sinclair copies [[Vindicta]]'s Assassinate, due to its charges. However, Assassinate loses a charge each time Sinclair copies and uses it again, and goes on cooldown at zero charges.
* Sinclair gets Shiv's Rage passive if they copy Killing Blow, dealing bonus damage when at full Rage. The Rage lasts until Sinclair either loses Killing Blow or Rage goes down to zero. However, if Sinclair copies Killing Blow again, they will still have the remaining built-up Rage from the last copy, allowing them to reach full Rage faster.
* Sinclair can't use Killing Blow to kill Shiv, as the damage from the ultimate is deferred by Shiv's Bloodletting.

Unsurprisingly both sets of parents were not thrilled at this prospect, but Henry and Savannah knew they were soulmates. And so they cemented their love for one another by having a blood mystic bind their souls for eternity.

When an on-stage accident claimed both their lives, no one was sure who to blame. Henry claims Savannah was out of position. Savannah says Henry didn't wait for his queue. But one things for sure, since their souls are tied to each other neither one of them have been able to move on. Now a bickering pair of ghosts, Henry and Savannah need to work together if they want to have any chance of undoing their eternal union.}}
