Ethereal Shift
You enter a void state and become untargetable and invincible for a short duration, during which you float slowly and cannot perform actions. Afterwards you gain Spirit Power, Move Speed, and Spirit Resist.
Can be canceled early.
Activation cancels any active ability.
Active — bind to a key and trigger it (Z/X/C/V).
Ethereal Shift drops you into a short void state where you can't be hit, targeted, or do anything — you float in place to ride out a stun, a big ultimate, or incoming burst, then come out with bonus Spirit Power, Move Speed and Spirit Resist. It's a get-out-of-jail button for dive-y spirit heroes, and the exit buffs let you flip a panic dodge straight into a re-engage.
Tricks
The whole skill is about timing. You can't act inside the void and you only float slowly, so pop it the instant the damage is about to land, not a beat early — a smart enemy will just hold their burst and re-fire the moment you reappear. It negates incoming hits but doesn't cleanse debuffs already ticking on you, and channeled CC or a long stun will still be there when you drop out, so don't waste it on a threat that outlasts the void. The non-obvious half is offense: the exit Spirit Power and Move Speed mean the shift doubles as combo wind-up — vanish to bait a cooldown, then come out hot and dump your rotation while the buff is live. Cancel it early the moment the danger passes so you act sooner instead of floating the full duration.
