WILD COMBAT KIT

Encounter actions

Basic

Mirage Shroud

Timed self/area buff

Wrap the player in a moving Sand distortion that reduces enemy aiming reliability, leaves a brief concealment trail and adds Sand buildup to nearby targets.

HAVEN OPERATIONS

Glassmaking and fine-material sorting

Strict element requirement: Sand

Improves glass production, abrasive polishing and separation of fine mineral resources.

ECOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT

World role

Sahkari herds travel between stable dune shelves and expose buried ruins through repeated movement. Desert guides read their tracks to distinguish stable sand from recent collapses.

Rare variants

White salt-desert form
Night-black horn pattern
Long-tail mirage trait
Glassworker efficiency mutation

Implementation notes

Mirage effects must not reduce player accessibility
Keep silhouette visible through concealment
Avoid competitive-visibility advantages in friendly-fire modes
Use predictable buried-leap endpoints
