FWIW.

traps no longer trigger their effects on glancing/evades.

And the other problem child with traps is that they get stronger the longer they're left untouched, without anyway to detonate them at range (for the opposing side), or pop it without severely messing yourself up.. and if you can't do that. Then they get 10% stronger every turn. Up until the Excel Handtrigger pops them for extra size + 30% extra damage (ontop of the x% increase from how long they've been out).

Raging gust traps are also a problem.. because they get an increase to their damage from being gust enchanted ONTOP of the extra range on placement and detonation.

The clear way to deal with traps is just have fire and wind elemental and laugh as Wind/Fire elemental trigger them and the person in question kills themself. But I genuinely don't think that "This thing is busted." "Eh. Fire/Wind Elemental deal with it." should be a proper way to fix this. Personally, I have a few thoughts.

1. Redo Elemental Impact with Traps. Raging shouldn't be the best one for all of them. Lightning Traps get to do the exact same thing (they fly to the person that triggered it).. but that, generally, will still be the same range as Raging Traps. Damage numbers are re-evaluated, and the other enchants actually are given a reason to exist.

2. Remove Excel Hand Trigger, or at the least stop it from increasing range on everything. A typical excel build will be engineer with bombs on belt so you can get the increased explosion size for all three. Allowing for a one turn Grenade Launcher > Bomb > Quickslide (Trap) > Excel HandTrigger.

Traps are just very unfun if you rely on basic movement, as Gust Trap just instantly kills your ability to fight back... and even disregarding that. Trap Hell being built into Swap Position, Forced Move, or Vanishing Strike can/will just immediately kill someone that isnt a dodgy.
