Shadow Blade

Black Blades and Doom Blades, like all Xenoi women, study magic extensively. However, unlike the priesthood, these melee fighters apply their magic to manipulate their body and surroundings. The most powerful of all Doom Blades master magics of stealth and misdirection, making them almost creatures of shadow. These rare few are feared even by the high priestesses for their ability to appear from nowhere in the depths of the Xenoi caverns, slaying their foes, and vanishing into the darkness before any alarm is sounded.

Special Notes: This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. This unit’s skill at skirmishing allows it to ignore enemies’ zones of control and thus move unhindered around them. This unit is able to hide at night, leaving no trace of its presence. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures. If there is an enemy of the target on the opposite side of the target while attacking it, this unit may backstab, inflicting double damage by creeping around behind that enemy.
