Yrden
Yrden is a magic trap that slows enemies who enter its area. Noonwraiths and nightwraiths turn corporeal inside the circle, so Geralt can hit them. The slow grows with Sign intensity.
How It Works
- Yrden slows enemies inside its area.
- The trap can also damage enemies and inflict status ailments.
- Noonwraiths and nightwraiths become corporeal and vulnerable while inside the circle.
- Higher Sign intensity makes the slow stronger.
Magic Trap
Magic Trap is the alternate mode of Yrden. At rank 1 in Remastered it sets a magic discharge that damages and slows enemies within a 14-yard radius. It needs Sustained Glyphs.
Before Remastered, the radius grew from 10 yards to 12 and then 14 across its three levels. The trap destroyed projectiles passing through it, and its damage rose by 25% at level 2 and by 50% at level 3.
