Description
-
The Ghostclip update changed the appearance of Kira’s laser targeting.
When moving an active pillar of fire, the desired location should have a flat square+circle-cross appearing just above the ground, and a small vertical laser beam similar to an impending Arty strike.
The vertical laser beam is now missing.

Note:
- This change may not be specific to these mercs only and may affect others (i.e. restoring Skyhammer and Arty’s effects, but forgetting about Kira, Bushwhacker, and Proxy):
- No other abilities or effects or other parts of the game were tested
- I don’t know what other assets use this rope sprite laser
