Trap

For Templar Assassin's sub-ability, see Trap.

Trap is a type of disable that completely or partially surrounds a unit with immobile objects or restricts their movement in such a way that they cannot escape. Traps do not prevent any actions, such as attacking or using abilities and items, from being performed. Spell interactions might be different for each traps with any escape skills.
