Shadow

Gloom Stalker
Start this build
HumanGloom Stalkers are ambush hunters who fight from cover with poisoned bolts and a blade in the dark. They swap between crossbow and sword to slip into stealth, leave shadow clones behind to strike alongside them, and turn stacked poison into bursts of decay.
Xwin Dreadhorn
Start this build
MinotaurDreadhorns are brutal ambushers who bring the weight of an axe out of the dark. They open from stealth with rage-fuelled cleaves, convert bleeding into poison, and drive shadow shockwaves and plague tremors through the ground into everything around them.
Night's Whisper
Start this build
ElfNight’s Whispers are elusive assassins who cut, vanish, and cut again. They open from stealth to stack bleeding and poison, consume those wounds to gain Double Strike and Temporal Echo, and call shadow clones in to repeat every killing blow.
