Acquisition[]

  • Can be acquired by attaining the rank of Partner under The Perrin Sequence, or the rank of Exalted under the Red Veil, and spending ReputationLarge 25,000 to purchase.
  • This mod can periodically be acquired from The Circuit.

Notes[]

  • Nekros will redirect a percentage of any damage taken and any Status Effect to his Shadows. Total damage redirection is determined by the number of Shadows linked to Nekros.
    • Total damage redirection is capped at 90%. This is obtainable by increasing Ability Strength to 214%, assuming all 7 Shadows are active and linked to Nekros.
    • By cloning summoning units such as Drahk Masters or Corpus Techs and having those summon their respective minions, it is possible to have more than 7 Shadows. These minions behave like normal Shadows and the ability icon will show the increased number of shadows. They will be linked to Nekros, suffer from health decay and contribute to the damage redirection, which is, however, still capped at 90%.
  • While Shadows of the Dead is active, Nekros is linked to all his shadows within range via energy threads of the chosen energy color.
  • Damage redirection only begins at the end of Shadows of the Dead casting animation, when all shadows have spawned and Nekros is visually linked to them.

Bugs[]

  • A link or two may persist well beyond the range limits of your current build, e.g. you being linked to a shadow 100+ meters away even with a reduced range build. This will cease once the shadow you are connected to dies however.
  • Sometimes, when Nekros dies, shadows will remain alive and become independent. Their healths and shields will not be drained over time and they won't count or link toward Nekros. Recasting the ability will spawn a new set of shadows.
