Veil Siphoner
Rework
The current Veil Siphoner is not hitting the intend purpose and there is currently too much bookkeeping and the power balance between the 4 types of titan essence are very unbalance. Plus their ability to friendly fire is triggering too often which makes it very unfun for both the Veil siphoner players and their teammates, causing lots of friction and reducing the Veil Siphoners to flourish.
Futhermore the kit oftens has too many triggers and forms to take place that gets forgotten too easily.
This new changes are designed to streamline what Veil Siphoner excels at and that is collecting the Essences of the various Titans but this time, they have a massive payoff for amassing these Essences. Their abilities are also more versatile for any class and playstyle.
