Both callouts are the map’s own. No throw instruction is published here· this one leans on a surface a patch can move — recheck it after one.

Who can fill it

10 agents on the roster carry an ability with this job — the ones written as fitting Lotus come first.

  1. 1 · PositionStand at A Link, on the side the site cannot see.
  2. 2 · TargetThe landing zone is A Main — the delay only works if it covers it.
  3. 3 · ReleasePlace Stars in Astral Form (Ultimate Key). ACTIVATE a Star to form a Gravity Well. Players in the area are pulled toward the center before it explodes, making all players still trapped inside Vulnerable.

What it buys

Three sites and rotating doors mean the defence is always short — a delay on main buys the rotation twice.

Do not use it when A closed door behind it turns the delay into a trap for your own retake.

Recall test

Without looking: from A Link, where does this delay land?

Answer first, then reveal — recalling is the part that transfers to a round.
