With the cooldown running during activation, Canhong can stay invisible almost continuously. The outlet used the power to shoplift, rob a bank in a treasure hunt, and escape police, finding the city's usual stealth rules largely bypassed.","whyItMatters":"Automaton's hands-on test shows how a single supernatural ability can reshape open-world crime loops, letting players skip the blind-spot and line-of-sight mechanics that normally define shoplifting and police chases in Hetero City.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eCanhong\u0026#39;s invisibility has a quirk that makes it stronger than it looks on paper: the cooldown timer progresses while the ability is active. Using it for its full duration lets players reactivate it the moment it ends, which means near-permanent invisibility while sprinting through Hetero City.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomaton put that to use across the city\u0026#39;s crime systems. Shop theft normally requires waiting for a clerk\u0026#39;s blind spot, but Canhong walks in front of the register, takes the item, and leaves. The toy shop DSD-do even stocks a large Asahime Inori figure worth stealing. In the Niku-kyu Great Heist treasure hunt, invisibility keeps players clear of enemies and surveillance, though opening safes breaks the effect.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEscape works too. Turning invisible before a full police response drops the detected state, letting players reach a hiding spot and wait out their wanted level.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Automaton took NTE's Canhong into Hetero City and abused her invisibility. Shoplifting ignores clerk line of sight, bank heists ignore guards, and police chases end by going invisible before combat starts. The cooldown runs during use, so it is nearly permanent.","twitterPost":"NTE's Canhong can stay invisible almost forever: cooldown ticks while active. Automaton used it to shoplift, rob a bank, and escape the police in Hetero City, skipping stealth mechanics entirely.","threadsPost":null,"newsletterBlurb":"Automaton tested Canhong, the Version 1.3 addition to NTE: Neverness to Everness, and found her invisibility bypasses most of Hetero City's crime rules.
