Villain Types

Minions

Coalesced Spirit

Picture MIA

Though little is known about the origins of the Apparitions, it is well-documented that they appear to be beings of energy which seem to be powered by pure hatred. They seem almost human at times, as a form can sometimes be discerned in the swirl of energy that makes up their bodies, but no one is quite sure whether this is an illusion or not. A Coalesced Spirit is a more powerful spirit that arises when two Scattered Spirits have combined. The more powerful hatred they embody gives them some resistance to status effects, in addition to their other powers.

Powers

Hateful Blast Ranged, Minor DMG (Lethal/Negative Energy), -DMG (All)
You unleash a bolt of pure hatred at your target. The target suffers lethal damage and negative energy damage, as well as a reduction in their damage output.

You direct unrelenting anger into a melee attack. This attack deals smashing and negative energy damage to your target, but will occasionally strike with such force that your target is knocked down or knocked back.

Damage Resistance Resistance
The Apparitions are embodiments of hatred and anger given form. They have a strong resistance to negative energy and lethal attacks. However, they are vulnerable to energy.

Fearsome Reflection

They seem almost human at times, as a form can sometimes be discerned in the swirl of energy that makes up their bodies, but no one is quite sure whether this is an illusion or not. This purple coalescence of energy is known as a Fearsome Reflection.

They seem almost human at times, as a form can sometimes be discerned in the swirl of energy that makes up their bodies, but no one is quite sure whether this is an illusion or not. The Fractured Spirit is the weakest type of Apparition, with no ability to merge with others. They emerge from Spectres, either on their defeat or by splitting off the Spectre to lend it assistance.
