Official Class Guide
Shadowstrix uses stealth, shadow-based movement, and fast melee strikes to create sudden openings in battle. Skills such as Sneak, Crow Storm, Shadow Strike, Flurry Strike, Phantom Shift, and Bloody Blade Dance support a combat style built around approaching, striking, repositioning, and continuing pressure. With Shadow Veil and afterimage-related effects, Shadowstrix can turn mobility and timing into repeated attack opportunities.
