Combat abilities[edit]

Abilities
  • From the Ruins of the Twisted Castle
Behavior
  • Xera's Energy - At both 66% and 33% health, Keep Construct will become invulnerable. At the same moment white and red orbs will begin moving from the statues to the Keep construct. Players may stand in the way of the orb of the same color they are attuned to and absorb the incoming orb.
    • Each orb that reaches the Keep Construct will give it a stack of Magic Blast Intensity.png Magic Blast Intensity, increasing the damage done by Magic Blast.
  • Construct Core - Keep Construct withdraws from the battle temporarily exposing three phantasms protecting its core. If the three phantasms are overcome, the Construct's Core becomes exposed and can be pushed (or pulled) through unstable rifts. Pulling the core through rifts will add a stack of Compromised.png Compromised, increasing the damage Keep Construct takes upon its return.
  • Insidious Projection - When two (white) projections merge, they will form an Insidious Projection.
  • Radiant and Crimson Phantasms - When radiant and crimson (white and red) phantasms spawn on the battlefield, each player will receive a random attunement. Players may only kill phantasms of the same attunement as themselves.
  • Xera's Fury - Large circles will spawn under each player and a red circle will slowly expand outward. Once the circle is fully filled, all players within the circle will be dealt a moderate amount of damage.
