Abilities
The shadowrath has two very powerful and unique abilities: Fixate (passive) and Shinobi (active)
Fixate
Fixate is a powerful passive ability that is not required to be researched. Fixate increases the damage of a Shadowrath with each consecutive hit on a target and stacks up to five times. This allows the damage of a Shadowrath to quickly grow to high levels.
However, in a large-scale battle, the full potential of this ability may not be realized. As well, Shadowrath are rarely used as direct combat units, being much more effective with hit-and-run attacks and assassinations.
Shinobi
A Meric that was recently killed by the Shadowrath on the right using Shinobi. The Magikill on the left is about to be assassinated.
Shinobi is an active ability of the Shadowrath that must be researched. Shinobi has two levels. The first level costs 100 gold and mana. The second level costs 150 gold and mana.
When this ability is activated, an audio cue is provided by the Shadowrath saying, "Shinobi".
With shinobi, the Shadowrath will be cloaked and do massively increased damage with poison if it attacks an enemy unit while in shinobi. Upon deactivation, Shinobi will enter a 30-second cooldown period.
Uses
Ninjalbow is a powerful composition.
The shadowrath is used mostly as a specialist unit for sniping opponent spellcasters, which can wreck havoc. The shadowrath is also used in the shadalbow strategy. It is a very effective and high damaging strategy.
Shadowrath masses are fairly popular within deathmatch. Other uses of the ninja are because of its speed. Being the fastest melee unit allows it to be used for poisoning opponents who don't have natural cure upgrade.
Trivia
- Shadowrath are the fastest units in the game, tied with speed crawlers, with no other unit being able to pursue it, even Swordwrath with rage.
- In campaign mode, however, they can, but just barely.
- The original name for Fixate was Fury.
- It is revealed in campaign mode that Shadowrath are Swordwrath that escaped and studied a new way of fighting.
