Notes

• Technobabble interrupt targets casting spells, an inherent effect of applying the Dazed condition.
• To Daze a boss, cast it on an adjacent foe.
  • This skill will apply Dazed if the target is a boss-like foe, such as the Apocrypha or the Undead Lich.

Anomaly.Exception: this skill will not daze Murakai, Lady of the Night, a boss-like foe.

Anomaly.Technobabble's damage respects armor, even though it deals untyped damage.
