Blistered Shadows

Overview

Blistered Shadows are Taken projections of Dredgen Sere that protect the Blights shielding him in the Ascendant Realm. They are part of Sere's fight at the end of the Equilibrium dungeon.

Compelling and destroying

Each Blistered Shadow that is compelled or destroyed unshields one of the five Blights on the central tablet. Compelling requires the Shadow Master buff, gained from shadow pools, and makes the Shadow passive. Each compelled Shadow extends Sere's damage phase by five seconds, within a 20 to 55 second range. Destroying one instead raises the damage dealt per phase, so players balance the two.
