Stamina is the resource

Every swing and dodge costs stamina. Spam attacks and you cannot roll the hit that kills you. Pace it and keep a reserve.

The armor database shows the class that matches how you want to fight, Melee, Ranged or Magic.

Perfect dodge

A timed dodge slows time and opens the enemy. Learn one foe’s wind-up and the whole Shroud gets easier to read and punish.

Match your build

Melee, Ranged and Magic each play differently. Wear the armor that supports yours and the fights start to flow in your favor.

Disengage when needed

Some pulls are too big. Fall back to your base, regear, and return with the right answer instead of a wasted death.

The consumable database holds the heals that let you survive the learning curve on every new foe.

Frequently asked questions

How does combat work?

You strike on a stamina budget and dodge on timing. A perfect dodge opens the window to deal real damage.

What wins a fight fastest?

Dodge the telegraphed hit, then punish. Trading blows evenly loses to a clean dodge-and-strike rhythm.
