Detailed Mutator Information

Time Warps scale time to 33% of the normal speed, reducing all time-based effects in their area of effect. This includes cooldowns, regeneration, timed life and attacks. They spawn every 3 seconds and there is a 2.5 second delay before a Time Warp becomes active. Each field lasts for 30 seconds. Units with the Frenzied passive (such as Brutalisks, the Odin and Ultralisks) will be unaffected.

Time Warps will always be at least 25 units away from the starting locations as well as at least 4 units away from mineral patches.

Safety Zones

Certain mutators create environmental hazards that can impact/debuff player units, including workers. These mutators get deactivated in areas called "Safety Zones". All player bases and expansions are considered Safety Zones. The mutators that obey the Safety Zone rules are as follows:

Blizzard
Going Nuclear*
Lava Burst
Orbital Strike
Purifier Beam
Temporal Field
Time Warp
Twister

*The centers of the nukes will not be placed inside the safety zones. However, nukes can still damage units inside the safety zone due to their large radius.

Images of the Safety Zones for all maps are shown below.
