Info
- Immortalized by his reaping of souls, Sevagoth passively collects the life essences of enemies affected by or slain by Reap, Sow, Gloom, or Death's Harvest, gradually filling the Death Well gauge displayed above his ability icons. Once 75% of the gauge is filled, Sevagoth may leave his mortal body behind to transfer control into his Shadow manifestation, which is propelled forward for 5 meters then drains 1% of the Death Well per second to remain summoned. Sevagoth's Shadow possesses four new Abilities: Embrace, Consume, Death's Harvest, and Reunite, while equipping his Exalted Shadow Claws which inflict a base 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 Slash, Impact, and Puncture damage before accounting for its other weapon stats. Exalted Shadow will deactivate when the Death Well fully depletes, when the Shadow receives fatal damage or falls out of bounds, when Transference is initiated, or when Reunite is cast.
- Shadow Claws damage is affected by the Ability Strength stat of Sevagoth, but not on Shadow.
- Death Well activation requisite percentage, Shadow summoned propulsion, and drain per second are not affected by mods.
- Sevagoth's physical body is invulnerable to damage and untargetable by enemies while taking control of Shadow.
- The Shadow will always spawn with full Shields, Health and initial Energy, regardless of its previous state on recast.
- Propulsion from summoning the Shadow carries forth Sevagoth's momentum when casting Exalted Shadow, allowing the player to gain extra distance once controlling the Shadow.
- If aim gliding while casting this ability, Sevagoth's body will be propelled forward in an arcing trajectory instead.
- When the Death Well reaches at least 75%, a sound indicator plays for the player, while the well's energy visually glows intensely, as energy veins emanate outside the well.
- Ability Synergy:
- Sevagoth's Abilities will stay active during Exalted Shadow.
- Each enemy affected then killed by any source, or directly killed by Reap's Shadow, Sow, or Death's Harvest fills 5% of the Death Well. Each enemy alive within Gloom's radius fills 0.1% per second of the Death Well.
- The player must be directly controlling Sevagoth with Exalted Shadow deactivated to gain Death Well percentage from the eligible Abilities noted above.
- Death Well gain per enemy is not affected by mods.
- Death Well gain stacks when Sown enemies die from Reap, but not vice-versa.
- For each percent of the Death Well drained during Exalted Shadow, Sevagoth's health is healed by 1% of his maximum health pool once Reunite is complete.
- Casting Exalted Shadow is a full-body animation that restricts movement and other actions.
- Sevagoth visually summons his Shadow which materializes in front of him. Sevagoth's body remains stationary in a levitating stance.
- While within an ability nullification sphere from enemies such as Nullifier Crewman or Isolator Bursa, Sevagoth's Shadow receives damage to its Health pool as 15% of its maximum health pool every 0.5 seconds.
- Sevagoth's Shadow will benefit from Archon Shards slotted into Sevagoth himself.
- Sevagoth's Shadow, and Shadow Claws, can benefit from Helminth Invigorations applied to Sevagoth as they are both considered exalted weapons.
- Any primary, secondary, and reload speed buff from invigorations will not have any benefit during Exalted Shadow as it uses melee exclusively.
Weapon
- Main article: Shadow Claws
Shadow Claws is Sevagoth's Shadow's signature Exalted Weapon, summoned by activating the ability Exalted Shadow. The weapon exclusively uses the Ravenous Wraith stance.
- This weapon deals primarily Slash damage.
Advantages:
- Very high critical chance and status chance.
- Highest critical multiplier of all Exalted Melee Weapons.
- Damage is affected by the combo counter.
Disadvantages:
- Low range.
- As an Exalted Weapon, it cannot benefit from, nor contribute to the set bonus of any Set Mods (excluding the Sacrificial Mod Set; the Gladiator Mod Set can still apply if equipped on Melee or Robotic Weapons, and not on the Exalted Weapon itself).
- Cannot equip Melee Combo Counter Mods (except Drifting Contact), Acolyte Mods (e.g., Blood Rush), or Amalgam Mods (e.g., Amalgam Organ Shatter).
- Cannot equip Melee Arcane Enhancements.
Stance
- Main article: Ravenous Wraith
Ravenous Wraith is a unique Stance exclusive to Shadow Claws that can only be acquired and used by activating Sevagoth's fourth ability, Exalted Shadow. This Stance overrides the Stance on any currently equipped melee weapon for as long as Exalted Shadow remains active.
