Build guide
Shadow operative (Draw Steel)
Shadows are stealthy heroes who move through darkness and strike with deadly precision. They specialize in getting into position unseen, delivering devastating attacks, and fading away before enemies can retaliate. A Shadow is a blade in the dark, a whisper of death that strikes without warning.
