Phaser

Phaser is a power skill which teleports the player behind a nearby enemy and empowers the next attack.

Details

Special Effects:
- - Teleports the player behind a nearby enemy.
    - If no enemies are nearby, the skill fails and goes on a half-second cooldown.
    - If the teleport completes, the targeted enemy is inflicted with a status effect causing it to take a scaling amount of extra damage on the next hit, and the skill goes on its normal cooldown.
    - Upon teleporting, the enemy is rooted in place and cannot turn around.

The debuff applied by Phaser is counted as a melee attack and will therefore trigger relevant effects from mutations like File:1 Mutation Icon.png Open Wounds and File:1 Mutation Icon.png Ripper.
- If the enemy was slowed beforehand, this can trigger the mutation File:1 Mutation Icon.png Heart of Ice, instantly resetting its cooldown.

Phaser was the name for the Runner enemy prior to an update. The skill also mimics their teleportation ability.
Prior to v1.4, Phaser had a bug where it caused the Thorny to damage the player when used, even though the player didn't melee the Thorny.
After the Swarm rework in v2.1, Phaser now has the shortest cooldown of all skills.
