[Q] Recall time

Hey guys,

Quick question, I can't for the love of me find anything on the world wide web, so I'll consult you guys. (I'm on office hours, so can't check for myself either).

How long does a normal recall(to base) take?
+ How long does a Protected Recall take?

I need exact times for some theory crafting!

Thanks in advance!

Why not ask this IN theory crafting then.

Because this on it self is not really a craft of theory, and, depending on the answer, my theory will stand or fall. So I felt as if it best belonged in off-topic because it applies to neither of the other subforums.

Just tested it, and can confirm that it is 5 seconds.

Sweet, thanks alot Buddha. :)

Now, according to the Smitefire database Protected Recall is faster. With that in mind, my theory might stand, however, if someone can give me the exact recall time of Protected Recall that'd be lovely-dovely!

I'll test it now.

EDIT: It's 3 seconds long.

Thanks, in case you read this before testing it - I just came across a random old Reddit topic that said the Protected Recall takes only 3 seconds.

Since you're already in and out on testing, perhaps you could try my theory before I do anything with it.

Chaac might not need a Teleport to Tower (when you would otherwise buy it). Instead, you can probably use Protected Recall.

Chaac's Thunder Strike has a lifetime of 5 seconds, while Protected Recall sends you home in 3 seconds. You can then use Torrent to teleport back to your axe. I have no clue if there's a distance limit on that, but you can defnitely go trough objects.

This leaves you a small 2 seconds to buy and/or heal. Although you might only heal 1 tick, you can easily buy whatever by already opening the store in backing phase.

already test that chaac thing (bart test it also), didn't work, the same for bastet

Too bad, well, ultimately it's a good thing I guess, would break quite a bit. I guess recalling (per active or per "B") erases your content (axe/leap position, etc) from the map.

It also didnt work for chronos when he was released so theres that :p
