Yet another introduction to my idea of "Anchored" status, also known as the opposite of Ethereal. I explain it well enough in the ability description. This is a Power Treads late game upgrade, where you can potentially permanently put yourself in an Ethereal state or Anchored state, two states with massive downsides to them nonetheless.

Can be toggled between making the wearer Ethereal, then Anchored, then neither. Has a short cooldown to toggle between states, and has no maximum duration. Ethereal: Immune to physical damage and cannot be attacked, but lowers wearer's magic resistance and disarms them. Anchored: Immune to magical damage and cannot be targeted by single target spells, but lowers wearer's armor and silences them. Wearer can still be attacked while Anchored. None: Wearer has no effect from Plane Switch. If either Ethereal or Anchored state is dispelled, the toggle goes on cooldown.

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Yet another introduction to my idea of "Anchored" status, also known as the opposite of Ethereal. I explain it well enough in the ability description. This is a Power Treads late game upgrade, where you can potentially permanently put yourself in an Ethereal state or Anchored state, two states with massive downsides to them nonetheless. If you do the math with the attributes, Power Treads' toggle is basically active for all 3 attributes all at once all the time, meaning this is a great late game stat stick for Universal heroes mostly. However, this is meant to be a defensive item where someone thinks about what they're up against and how to best mitigate damage incoming while also working around the downsides both statuses bring them.

Alt casts on items honestly seem like a really cool mechanics as a way of giving items multiple actives. Not entirely sure if this should be a powerthreads upgrade though.

This was an added item from a massive "8.00" patch idea I've had for years, and one of the big running themes is super late game upgrades along with nerfs to early game stuff. This was one of the later item ideas where I decided many boots upgrades should have super late game upgrades, and the idea of switching between three states worked best with power treads, so I chose that for this. I have one for Phase Boots as well, but it's far more out there than this one.
