Yes theres several bugs with the empowerment on the VG, atleast it seems to be a bug.

If you hit a target with a scream etc. that are within 5m and have the “Empowering proximity”, you get the empowerment but at the second you move abit away from the same target you loose all the empowerments again. Seems cinda silly that you cannot do a backward dodge without loosing the empowerment buffs?

Atleast the tooltip does not say anything about you have to stay within 5m of the same target to keep the buff after optianing it

You can even see this issue on this same vod at 45-55 second of the video, when he perform the ability and move away from the dummy he will instantly loose all the empower stacks.

Thank you @Wooxu and @Wooxu for confirming you’ve experienced this same issue and for the additional information!
