The Shadowblade

Every Shadowblade has

The core kit, whichever Path you take.

• 
  Twin Cut

  Your next swing comes at once and cuts twice. Each cut opens an extra Bleed.

• 
  Lunge

  Dash to an enemy up to 4 tiles away, cutting it, and land at its back. Two charges. Lunging at an enemy that is not bleeding yet gives half a charge back.

• 
  Vault

  Leap over the enemy next to you and cut it as you land at its back - the way out of a surround: landing among enemies, you leap one tile farther, clear of them. You dodge more easily for a moment.

• 
  Bloodwake Passive

  Every hit opens a Bleed stack (up to 5 on an enemy, 4s, refreshed by every hit). Bleeds deal 10% more for each other bleeding enemy within 5 tiles (up to 50%). Bloodletting: you heal for 15% of the damage you deal to an enemy that is bleeding from you - its bleed and your cuts. Backstab: 20% more damage from behind.

Two Paths to choose between

Each Path adds three spells and a passive of its own. You can change it later at a trainer.

Blade Dancer

Damage

A whirlwind through the pack: Lunge from one fresh target to the next, spin when three are bleeding, and let the bleed kills hand your charges back.

• Whirlcut
• Razorwind
• Death Spiral

Red Wake Lunge cuts every enemy along its path. A bleeding enemy that dies gives you a Lunge charge back.

Executioner

Damage

Slip behind one dangerous foe, Hobble it so it cannot turn, let its bleeds run fast, then pierce its heart.

• Heartpiercer
• Hobble
• Clean Kill

Open Veins Bleed stacks you open from behind tick twice as fast for as long as they last.

Knacks, small extras any Shadowblade can pick: Smoke Veil, Red Mist, Shadow Surge.
