'''Shrouds''' are lanky [[ | '''Shrouds''' are lanky [[The Dread|Dread]] units created by [[Forum:Skira, Judge of the Abyss|Skira]] from the blueprint of a prior [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]]. Although not as strong as its compatriots, this unit's strength lies in its uncanny speed and stealth abilities, which cements its role as an "assassin" unit. | ||

Tall, thin, humanoid entities standing just taller than a [[Fallen]] [[Captain]], their thin digitigrade legs giving them a height advantage, despite their slight, hunch-back stance. Much like their peers, the Shroud dons pale-blue, white and black Pyramidal garb similar to other [[The Dread|Dread]] units. Most unique about these entities is their wing-shaped, pattern-marked, pyramidal cloak covering their head and shrouding their back. Their heads are long, seemingly muzzled, bearing five orange eyes above the "snout", three of which creating a triangle in the center of their head and the other two set beside them. Their hands bear six wiry, clawed fingers and feet, each only bearing one thumb and a spur on their leg. | |||
Similar in many ways to either [[Subjugator]]s or [[Forum:Adjudicator|Adjudicator]]s, these lanky humanoids match the description and capabilities of [[Forum:Evaz'zhra, Scourge of Wilds|Evaz'zhra]], a young, brash [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]] presumably killed or wounded by [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] when the Disciples marched on [[Riis]]. | |||

Shrouds are mainly concerned with maintaining a medium distance from enemies, both balancing ranged attacks with potential opportunities to close in for a melee. They are equipped with a twin-bladed {{icon|Arc}} Swordstave they can use to combine multiple devastating cleaves and slashes in quick succession. For melee-oriented adversaries, however, the Shroud may also unleash a {{icon|Kinetic}} Spurred Kick that can temporarily bleed and knock a target back. However, despite their versatile melee capabilities, the Shroud is also capable of warping their weapon as well. Pulling back on the swordstave with resonant energy and channeling arc through the grip, the Shroud turns their Swordstave into a longbow, capable of firing mid-damage bolts of {{icon|Arc}} energy fairly quickly. Additionally, the Shroud may also channel more energy into the weapon, glowing brighter and drawing the weapon back further than usual, the Shroud may also unleash a powerful {{icon|Arc}} Momentum Piercer bolt capable of remarkable damage, knockback and piercing capabilities against even paracausal barriers (at the cost of weakened damage). | Shrouds are mainly concerned with maintaining a medium distance from enemies, both balancing ranged attacks with potential opportunities to close in for a melee.
