from the Update 51 PTS patch notes · updated 2026-08-19What the patch notes say
This update has many changes to behaviors with how certain player skills, item sets, and passives interact with Stealth and Invisibility, in efforts to make a more consistent, immersive, and fairer experience (sometimes these will conflict due to this last point!). In general, almost all skill activations will remove Stealth or Invisibility upon activation. Some high level exceptions; Most Nightblade skills, unless that skill offers tremendous burst (i.e Death Stroke, Grim Focus, which both already remove these effects when activated) or they heal allies, will not break Stealth or Invis upon activation. Note that dealing direct damage with a Nightblade skill will still remove Stealth and Invisibility. We’re not changing core behaviors to allow them to remain Stealthed or Invisibile – just leaving most of their abilities to function as they currently do, so they feel a bit more identity driven after this pass.
