Loch is one of the 32 Tempos currently available in HOURS. It is available to the player after purchasing the Hands of Time gamepass and beating Light Beneath Closed Eyes using the host Subject.

Usage

Upon using Loch, it'll spawn a square of water which expands to fill the whole map. 3 seconds after use, time is rewound by 3 seconds. During the rewound time, you will be invincible but unable to hurt enemies. However, enemies will still take any damage they took before the rewind.

Loch has a total duration of 6 seconds and has a cooldown of 9 seconds. When Overclocked, its cooldown is reduced to 3 seconds and damage taken from enemies will be reflected instead of negated. The damage reflected back to enemies is same as the damage they deal in Minutes, regardless of the current difficulty.

Tips and Trivia

Tips

• Loch is a tempo that's good for many situations. It serves as an undo to rewrite any events that will happen in the next 3 seconds. Since it forces your opponents to repeat the actions that happens during this time, this gives the player time to gain distance, or prepare to do more damage once the tempo goes out.

• Non-Overclocked : A good ability to deal damage, and reverse to set up for more stronger attacks to cover your mistakes if you whiff.

• Overclocked : Cooldown is 3 seconds, and damage from enemies will be reflected, making this a good choice for last resorts.

Trivia

• Enemies that have lifesteal, e.g. Equinox, will heal off the damage reflected back at them.
• The overclocked tempo can be used to reflect massive amounts of damage towards bosses, especially attacks that deal a fixed % of damage towards the player:
  • Reflecting Bloxxerman's shockwave attack when he lands will deal up to 50% of his health, depending on distance to him. Reflecting the shockwave right before his special attack can instantly finish him off.
  • Reflecting Goliath Omega's smash will instantly kill Ronin Alpha.
  • Reflecting Resident Mind's piano in phase 1 would instantly kill him. The fight proceeds to Phase 2 however, with no effects besides a humorous death animation.
