Stay Banner
The Stay Banner is a melee weapon from the Legacy faction. It is used by the Banner Bearer.
Characteristics
The Stay Banner is a support weapon that makes all ally units in a radius of 6 WM stop advancing and stay in place. When undisturbed, the unit bearing the flag will create such effect every 5 seconds, where all units within the circle, including the banner bearer, will cease to move and have a blue circle surrounding each unit.
This effect does not change the units' AI, but rather make their movement speed practically zero; units will also attack if an opponent enters their weapon range. The effect will disperse after 5 and a half seconds, allowing the banner bearer time to reset the effect. However, some units may try to escape this effect. Ranged units that does not have a line of sight of an opponent will slowly drag themselves out of the area of effect, eventually breaking free from the Stay Banner. Momentum from swinging a weapon can also fling a unit out of the circle.
When approached by an opponent, the banner bearer will defend themselves by striking them with the Stay Banner; it inflicts moderately low damage and has an extremely long cooldown period. It can hit more than one person if they're grouped.
