How it works
  • 17% crit chance: that share of basic attacks crit for x 1.75 damage (at the base +75% crit damage), so basic attacks deal x 1.13 on average. Skills never crit; at most 100%.
  • 18% armor penetration: the hero's physical damage counts only 82% of the target's armor (a share, not a flat amount). Against 200 armor 37.9% of a hit lands instead of 33.3% (x 1.14 damage); against 50, 70.9% instead of 66.7% (x 1.06). Penetration from several sources adds up, at most 100%; it does nothing to 0 or negative armor.

Lore

Woven by Hakurai night assassins from woven gloom silk and Tharumbra umbral mist. It dissolves the wearer silhouette into creeping shadow, granting swift unseen strides to deliver a devastating ambushing strike.

Appearance

A floor-length hooded cloak woven from midnight-blue gloom silk, layered with an attached face veil of sheer purple gossamer. The edges drift like smoke without wind, displaying charcoal chevron embroidery that absorbs ambient light. Clapsed at the throat by a dull obsidian clasp, the lightweight garment billows softly, surrounding the wearer in a distortion of shifting penumbra that masks their presence entirely until weapon strikes land.
