Detail

Trap Interactions

Hunter traps produce a temporary trap object with a 1x1 AoE and a 1 cell splash radius. When an enemy enters the AoE, the trap triggers, producing a secondary effect and is then dispelled. This secondary effect is produced once, regardless of how many enemies simultaneously trigger a trap. A trap is triggered whenever its AoE collides with an enemy, regardless of its position relative to the user, and may be considered to have infinite range. However, regardless of the distance between the user and the enemy, Hunter player traps inflict "melee" damage (e.g. damage is prevented by Safety Wall).

However, the trap placement range restriction is solely imposed by the client. If the player is able to desync their client and server character positions, it is possible for the player to place traps based on the client's assumed character position. Colloquially, this desync is known as a "position bug". Notably, the client (and server) enforce the unoccupied cell placement restriction.

A procedure to reproduce this technique is detailed below.

Player desyncs their server (P₁) and client (P₂) character positions, e.g. by moving and casting Arrow Craft while overweight.
Player places a trap using the client position.
Player resyncs their server (P₁) and client (P₂), e.g. by moving.

Trap Behavior

If Ankle Snare is not triggered before its duration expires, the trap is dispelled and replaced by a Trap item. Unlike Traps produced by shops or monster drops, this trap is unidentified. However, this is only a cosmetic difference, and it may be rectified by stacking the item with other Traps either within a player's inventory, cart, or Kafra storage. Only one Trap is produced this way, regardless of how many Traps were consumed by the skill catalyst.

Ankle Snare cannot be targeted but be attacked by most physical skills with area of effects, e.g. Arrow Shower. When attacked this way, Ankle Snare can be damaged. If Ankle Snare receives damage in excess of its remaining HP, it is dispelled.

Trap Effect

When triggered, Ankle Snare inflicts knockback and snare to the enemy. The knockback direction is towards the trap. While an enemy is snared, movement is disabled. Although snare prevents movement, it does not interrupt the current movement action. Consequently enemies that are immune to knockback, or on maps where knockback is disabled, a supplementary effect is required to interrupt the current movement action, e.g. flinch damage. If the trap is dispelled by any means, the related effects end prematurely.

Against monsters, Ankle Snare also disables the Teleport skill for the duration. The snare duration is the maximum between two independent functions. The first function scales with skill level & enemy AGI, and is reduced by 80% against boss monsters. The second function scales with base level.

duration = max(duration_slv, duration_blv) duration_slv = 4 * ankle_snare_lv * (1 - agi_enemy / 200) duration_blv = 0.03 * (base_lv + 100) if boss: duration_slv = duration_slv / 5
