Detailed Mutator Information
Fear lasts for 10 seconds on non-heroic units and 5 seconds on heroic units. Fear is applied as a chance, depending on a unit's vitality (HP + Shields). It is calculated as a percentage as 2000/Vitality. So, a unit with 20 vitality or lower has 100% chance of getting feared.
Commander-specific Tips
- Artanis: Shield Overcharge prevents Fear from triggering on the unit.
- Nova: Defensive Drones' Defensive Matrix prevents Fear from triggering on the unit.
- Swann: Defensive Matrix prevents Fear from triggering on the unit.
- Stetmann: H.U.G.S Overload prevents Fear from triggering on the unit.
- Tychus: Medivac Pickup does not remove the Fear debuff.
