5 rounds for something Metalaegis can do constantly is too high for a skill that's pretty much its copy-paste without anything extra attached to it. It's also a missing opportunity how it doesn't interact with Black Wind at all, so. Here's my penned wild ideas.

Favorite is just Idea B since it's kinda all it needs, really. The keyword here is frequency, not its effects.

Idea A

- If you do not have Black Wind active, range is increased to 5 and you teleport to your targeted ally, applying Sacrifice to them.
- If you have Black Wind active, all ally units in 4 range will be affected by Sacrifice (Enhanced), which lets you take damage in their place if they are within 3 range of you instead.
- Cooldown stays 5 Rounds.

Idea B

- Base Cooldown is reduced from 5 to 4 rounds.
- Momentum cost is reduced to 0M.
- Additional Effect: Cooldown is reduced by 1 round, per Shield or Heavy Armor torso you have equipped. (max. 2)

Idea C

- Sacrifice gets reworked into a 'Tank Stance'. Costs 6+M to activate and deactivate. Deactivating it puts it on an 8 round Cooldown.
- While active, all damage you deal, your Status Infliction and your Status Resistance are all reduced by 70%, and your movement is capped at 4.
- X% chance you will take any direct damage in the place of any allied unit within 2 range of you, if the unit is not under the Sacrifice status. (X = Black Knight's Level + Scaled DEF/2)
