Teleportation is easily one of the most useful travel powers. While not as fast as it's other Travel Power counterpart Superspeed, neither as maneuvering as Flight, Teleportation is fairly fast and a great travel power to start with.

But beware, Teleportation requires timing. Otherwise, tragic events can occur with the superhero. Try not to fall over 60 feet near to a level 40 Master Villain!

"Running" Away[]

Teleportation

When hit, the player can run away from their enemies, and because of the no speed penalty, the hero can get away fast if their errands take a wrong turn. Teleportation literally phases you out of the game's "dimension", which makes you completely invisible and unable to be damaged during teleportation. However, if the player phased out recently, it'll take around 10 seconds before the Teleportation can get used again AND the teleport duration will be shorter, around 1-3 seconds.

If you've been noticed, the enemies will chase the player even when in the other dimension, but will not be able to damage him/her during the power duration. Watch out!

Ingame Visual[]

A player who uses teleport will be transformed into an orb of glowing energy (not visible to other players). The player then controls the orb as in a Flight mode, although much faster, and in any direction. When the teleport is stopped the player will rematerialize in place of the orb. Other players will see the character disappearing in the air, and  then reappearing in another place. The orb color can change depending on the hero's power hue.

Since your character basically "disappears" for those 5 seconds, teleportation is a highly sought after PvP travel ability, both offensively and defensively.
