Unique Forces

Skiver— Similar to Thrall, they mostly charge at enemy combatants. Due to the corruption of the Scarlet King, they sport a new spiked appearance and crawl on all fours and move in far greater speeds.

Upon death, Apostles leave behind a pool of lingering corruption, similar to Fanatic's but deals far more damage and the pool is far larger.

Commonly seen wielding a wicked blade and only becomes viewable when striking at opponents. Enchanter— Flying Knight-like entities that wield powerful magic given to them by the corruption of the Scarlet King. Known for their barraging void energy, fast movement in the air and larger health pools

Ripper— Grounded Wizards that act as enforcers on the battlefield and wield heavy weaponry to devastate their foes. Armed with lower health pools and an elemental shield. Troll— Ogres mutated by the Scarlet King's power, giving them a more grotesque appearance and far greater power of Void energy through their tremoring strength. Sovereign— Powerful Commanders of an unknown and unique morph of Hive biology. Comparable to Ascendant Knights, they are capable of strengthening the Tarnished by their presence alone. Lich— The Necromancers of the Tarnished, Liches are capable of resurrecting fallen Tarnished from the dead, enraging them in the process while firing barrages of solar energy.
