Will there need to be a connected location for you to be allowed to trigger this effect?
(eg to get just the disengage benefit).
If you DISENGAGE from an enemy instead of EVADE, the enemy is still ready and will immediately re-engage any investigators at his location. If there are multiple investigators at the enemy's location he will follow PREY preference or LEAD Investigator choice, but he will always engage someone (without the ALOOF key word). This is why all the abilities with disengage also have move as part of their effect.
That's a good question actually.
If the enemies that you're engaged with are exhausted (no idea how that can happen currently), then you can most certainly use an ability to disengage from them - it will move them from your threat area to the location, and thus create a change of game state. The "move" part of the effect will fail to resolve, but this doesn't matter.
If the enemies that you're engaged with are ready (which is most likely), then disengaging without moving would just make them engage you again. I'm not sure if it would create a change of game state.
If there are other investigators present, the disengaged enemy might engage another player - in accordance with its Prey instruction, or the lead investigator's choice.
I think the answer in either case is: Yes, you can use an ability just to disengage from an enemy, even it that ability will not move you, and the enemies will engage you again immediately.
Will ask Matt though.
