2
Terrify
Cast fear into the hearts of nearby enemies, causing them to run away in terror and stripping their armor.
3
Desecrate
Forces fallen enemies around you to drop additional loot. Costs 10 energy per corpse.
4
Shadows Of The Dead
Summon shadow versions of vanquished enemies to fight alongside you for a short period.
CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno.
Cast Smite (subsumed) twice to drop an enemy to 25% health and strip its armour, then Soul Punch executes it and makes a Shadow.
On Thrax this skips the spectral phase entirely.
How it works
143% Strength makes Smite remove 50% of current health and strip
armour; two casts take an enemy from 100% to 25%, then Soul Punch executes at 25%.
Smite Infusion, Summoner's Wrath and Theorem Infection buff the resulting shadows.
Helminth
Smite over Terrify's slot; Terrify as an AoE strip alternative.
Where it struggles
Slow per-target (two Smites plus a Punch).
Shadows do not
scale forever.
Bosses.
Variants
The Grave Tithe (#023) and The Shadow Wall (#083) are the loot
and tank Nekros builds.
Who runs this
Endurance players who want a Nekros that reliably deletes Thrax
and builds a shadow army from heavies.
