== Overview ==

'''Warshades''' are former [[Nictus]] who have left that dark path behind and reformed, joining with a willing host. While Warshades take more damage from most attacks, they make up for this weakness with solid Hit Points, a good variety of Dark Energy attack powers and strong defensive powers, inherent Teleport, and eventually even gain access to two shape-shift forms. Warshades become stronger when teamed with non-Kheldian heroes, gaining bonuses to their own powers based on the archetypes of their teammates.

Warshades, along with [[Peacebringer]]s, are one of the two Epic Archetypes for Heroes, only available to players who have reached level 50 with at least one [[Hero]]. All Warshades are of [[Science]] origin.

Alignment: '''Hero'''

The Warshade's power sets are:

'''Primary''': Offense<br />
'''Secondary''': Defense

The Warshade has low Hit Points and does medium damage.

== Power Sets ==
Warshades only have access to one Primary and one Secondary power set. They do not have access to the [[Flight]] and [[Teleportation]] [[Power Pools]]. They also have no [[Ancillary Power Pools]], but they make up for this in the number and variety of powers in their Primary and Secondary.

=== Primary Power Sets ===

A Warshade's primary power set is designed specifically for offense. It is:

* [[Umbral Blast]]

=== Secondary Power Sets ===

A Warshade's secondary power set is designed for defense. It is:

* [[Umbral Aura]]

=== Inherent Powers ===
* [[Inherent Powers#Dark Sustenance|Dark Sustenance]]
* [[Inherent Powers#Shadow Step|Shadow Step]] Gained at level 1
* [[Inherent Powers#Shadow Recall|Shadow Recall]] Gained at level 10

== Nictus and Void Hunters ==
Special enemies in the game appear when Kheldians are on the team. Depending on team size, various [[Nictus]] and [[Void Hunters]] may spawn in addition to any groups of spawned enemies; both in and out of missions. The Void Hunters are highly resistant to Kheldian damage and have a special weapon, [[Quantum Array Gun]], that deals a considerable amount of additional damage to Kheldian players. If the team size is large enough, one or more [[Nictus#Shadow Cyst Crystal|Shadow Cyst Crystal]] may spawn in a mission. These are known for being difficult to dispatch, and pose a good deal of danger to the entire team.

Once a Kheldian joins a team, the team is "flagged" for special Kheldian-related spawns and the entire team must disband to "de-flag" themselves. Even if all Kheldians leave the team, the team will continue to see Nictus and Void Hunters in addition to any normal spawns they would have seen otherwise.

== Historical ==

{{Historical|type=section|reason=change}}

* [[Peacebringer]]s and Warshades were added to the game in [[Issue 3]].
* The special damage to Kheldians from Quantum Array Gun was originally untyped and irresistable, but has since been changed to Negative Energy damage.
* Kheldians were buffed in [[Issue 13]]. They gained the ability to shift into Dwarf form while [[mez|mezzed]], had their [[Damage Scale|damage scalars]] increased, gained Slow resistance for each [[Epic Archetype]] on the team and [[Cosmic Balance]] and Dark Sustenance remain active while shapeshifted.
