    [Darkflame Pickaxe] inflicts high damage and knocks back the first target it strikes.

Abilities

  • Eerie Molds: The Candle King forms several wax statues of players. Each statue inflicts

    1

    Fire damage to all players every 2 sec as long as it survives.

    • Cursed Wax: Evil darkness flows from each wax statue. A player coming within

      2

      yards of a statue causes the wax to flow from it and encase the player completely. This effect stuns the target for 20 sec.

  • Darkflame Pickaxe: The Candle King readies a pickaxe to throw at a target. The pickaxe collides with the first target it hits, inflicting

    29

    Shadow damage and knocking them back. If it strikes a wax statue, it instead shatters it.

  • Paranoid Mind: The Candle King amplifies players' fear of the dark, causing them to flee in fear for 4 sec.

  • Throw Darkflame: The Candle King marks random players. After a short time, he hurls the shadowy flames at them, inflicting

    25

    Shadow damage to targets within 5 yards and absorbing the next

    25

    healing on them. These flames are strong enough to melt wax creations.

    • Molten Wax: When a wax statue melts down, it forms a pool of molten wax for

      45 sec

      . Standing within inflicts

      1057255

      Fire damage every 1 sec.

What terrors lurk in shadows? Why do kobolds keep candles lit? Tiny creatures huddle around campfires, telling tales of ancient evil. The Darkness can be defeated but never destroyed. Instead, it inevitably returns in a new terrifying shape. Stay in the light. THE DARKNESS WAITS.

Overview
The Darkness enwreathes the area in smothering shadows, reducing combat abilities of anyone without a light source. It uses a variety of Shadow attacks to devour its foes and weaken the light.

  • Tanks:
    Players without [Candlelight] suffer the debilitating effects of [Smothering Shadows].
    [Umbral Slash] and [Shadowblast] will both damage the light if they strike it.

  • Damage Dealers:
    Players without [Candlelight] suffer the debilitating effects of [Smothering Shadows].
    The Darkness will use [Call Darkspawn] that approach the light and cast [Drain Light].
    [Umbral Slash] and [Shadowblast] will both damage the light if they strike it.

  • Healers:
    Players without [Candlelight] suffer the debilitating effects of [Smothering Shadows].
    [Umbral Slash] and [Shadowblast] will both damage the light if they strike it.

Abilities

  • Smothering Shadows: Darkness enshrouds the area. All players without a light source have their damage and healing done reduced by

    99

    %.

    • Rising Gloom: If the candle heat is depleted, The Darkness wreathes the area in gloom, inflicting

      704837

      Shadow damage to all players and causing them to flee in fear for 1 sec. This also increases their damage taken by

      10

      % and reduces their haste by

      5

      % for 10 min. This effect stacks.

    • Candlelight: Remaining within the candle light protects the player from Smothering Shadows, but reduced the heat level of the candle over time. Players can pick up and move the candle light source.

    • Wax Lump: Hurl a lump of wax gathered from a dead Candlebearer to restore heat to your candle.

  • Eternal Darkness: The Darkness releases waves of pure shadow every 1 sec for 4 sec. Each wave inflicts

    8

    Shadow damage to all players and reduces the Candlelight's heat.

  • Call Darkspawn: The Darkness beckons multiple Wriggling Darkspawn to crawl out of the shadows.

    • Drain Light: Wriggling Darkspawns drain the flames from a candle, reducing its heat by

      3

      and inflicting

      3

      Shadow damage to players every 1 sec for 10 sec.

  • Umbral Slash: The Darkness readies its claws and slashes out in a line towards the Candlelight. The wave of darkness inflicts

    3524185

    Shadow damage to players hit and reduces the Candlelight's heat.

  • Shadowblast: The Darkness targets a player with a massive blast. After 6 sec, the shadows erupt, inflicting

    3524185

    Shadow damage to players within 10 yds. If this effect hits the Candlelight, it reduces its heat.
