How does altitude affect it?
For the most part, it does not. With a few exceptions. Again, in the discussions that follow, we refer to ‘line of sight’ loosely. You do not have to face your targets to hit them. If a difference in altitude brings your target out of the sight of your traces, then yes, it makes him safe from the blast damage. But if your traces can see any part of him, he takes full damage regardless of how much higher or lower you are than he is. As far as altitude is concerned, the traces seem to use the same criteria as your view does to determine if the target is visible.
