A Shadow

Summoned by Whispering Shadecallers

Shadows are shadowy doppelgangers which are summoned by shadow mages using the Shadowy Duplicate ability. Whispering Shadecallers summon purple shadows. Kareth of Shadows also summons a shadow every time she uses her unique ability. The Skaafin equivalents are Masques.

Skills and Abilities

Kareth of Shadows

Quick Strike

A basic melee attack that does minor physical damage.

Whirlwind

Shadow spins around, doing moderate physical damage to all players as indicated by a red circle. Blocking will reduce the damage taken.

Assassinate

Shadow strikes at the player's back for moderate physical damage. This attack can only be performed if Shadow is behind the player, and Shadow will often leap to get behind the player. Ensure your character is facing Shadow at all times to prevent this.

Roll Dodge

Shadow can perform a roll dodge to avoid incoming damage.

Backstabber

Shadow has a passive ability that causes it to deal 20% more damage when attacking the target's back.
