Overview

Umbral Blast is the Warshade primary power set.

Masters of the void, Warshades can manipulate dark energy, gravity and matter to blast and dominate their foes. The gravimetric nature of most Umbral Blast powers often slows the targets attack and movement speed.

Dark Extraction

Defeated foes are ripe for the picking. A Warshade can extract the essence from a defeated villain and infuse it with Nictus energy.

Eventually, the extracted entity will fade away into nothingness.
