Ancient Spirits

Sacrificial Guardians / Terror

Three guardians intercept nearby enemies, erupt with terror, then reform for the next strike.

Ancient guardians orbit you and intercept enemies that get too close. Each spirit sacrifices itself on impact, unleashing a terrifying spectral burst that damages the surrounding horde before it reforms and rejoins the circle.

Development snapshot: This page shows how Ancient Spirits plays in the v0.70 development snapshot. Balance, visuals, upgrade details, and presentation may still change over time.
