Itzal blink

[rolypoly]

I must be missing something, but all the wiki articles keep saying that Itzal's blink is special, and I watch videos of people use Itzal and they can blink like 5 or 6 times in a row, and I just got itzal and I leveled to max, but I can't do that. I can only blink once ever few seconds, like any other archwing.

Is it some kind of augment or mod for the itzal that does this? I wasn't able to find any such mod for itzal on the wiki.

The Itzal's original 1st ability was Blink, and it could be spammed as quickly as possible.
With the Railjack update, they changed Blink to be on all Archwings as the front "roll" maneuver, with a cooldown, and replaced the Itzal's 1st ability with a Ripline similar to Valkyr's.

All the videos you're seeing are old and outdated most likely.

So itzal has nothing going for it anymore?

It still has the invisibility, but yeah, Amesha is the correct archwing now.

you can still be relative fast if you combine new blink ability and ripline.
(blink then ripline while blink recharge)

Itzal is still superior to other archwings in normal missions. It's just in railjack that it's worthless due to the distances involved rendering all itzals abilities worthless or broken. When you're leveling stuff and gathering arch mods in normal missions then itzal is the best choice.

Itzal is still the fastest, I believe. I think it still may be the best for Plains/Vallis traversal, but for the longer-term traversals with large amounts of incoming damage, like those found in Railjack, it isn't strong enough.

This I believe. I enjoyed Itzal in regular missions, and especially in the corpus versions you couldn't really use blink anyway. It is just isn't the be-all-end-all of archwings now.
