| —In-game description | ||
Vanish is a Chinese Classical Age god power in Age of Mythology: Retold - Immortal Pillars that is available to worshipers of Xuannü. When invoked on the ground, it makes friendly units in a radius of 20 invisible. The invisibility of an affected unit lasts for the duration of the god power (30 seconds) or until they attack any enemy unit or building. Vanish cannot be cast in an area where no valid units (which are not already stealthed) are present. Units under stealth refrain from attacking nearby enemies, no matter their stance, or if they were tasked to attack move.

Strategy[]
Affected units remain in stealth as long as they do not attack anything. Workers hunting animals do not break their concealment. This can be used to hide workers while they work, including construct forward buildings, as they will not be visible to the enemy, or to sneak units around to a less defended area of the enemy's town for a surprise attack. Scouting is also made easier, as uncovering enemy-controlled areas is much easier without any enemies to hinder the scouting unit's progress. However, releasing a Sky Lantern will cause a Pioneer to lose their invisibility.
Units with passive area damage (Fei, Nezha, and units with Flaming Blood) are also affected by Vanish. Feis lose their venom trail effect, but retain their venom aura, and so can damage enemies without them being able to see or attack it. Nezha loses his fire trail when Vanish is invoked on him, and so cannot damage enemies at all while under Vanish without breaking the invisibility by actively targeting an enemy. Like Feis, myth units with Flaming Blood continue to deal the aura damage even when invisible and not actively attacking.
