The shadows are no longer just a backdrop—they’re your greatest ally.
Wraith has arrived in Adventure Mode, bringing a completely new way to play Heroes vs. Hordes. This spectral caster doesn’t just defeat enemies… she transforms the battlefield itself into a deadly trap.
If you like controlling space, stacking damage over time, and watching the horde melt where they stand, Wraith is about to become one of your favorite heroes.
Master the Shadows
At the core of Wraith’s kit is a simple but powerful idea:
every kill fuels your control of the map.
Her Wraith Lantern fires piercing shadow bolts that cut through enemies with ease. But the real magic begins when enemies fall.
With Lingering Shadows, defeated enemies have a chance to leave behind Shadow Pools—zones that damage anything caught inside. The more enemies you take down, the more the battlefield fills with these dangerous pockets of darkness.
Play aggressively, and suddenly you’re not just surviving waves… you’re shaping them.
Damage That Builds on Itself
Wraith thrives on synergy.
Her Dread Pulse sends out waves of shadow energy at regular intervals—but here’s where things get interesting:
enemies standing in Shadow Pools take even more damage from each pulse.
This creates a powerful loop:
-
Defeat enemies → create Shadow Pools
-
Enemies step into pools → take damage over time
-
Pulse triggers → amplified damage hits everything inside
The result? A battlefield that snowballs in your favor the longer you survive.
The Ultimate: Total Shadow Control
When Wraith’s ultimate, Shadow Convergence, activates, everything changes.
All active Shadow Pools merge into one massive, moving zone centered on you—dealing continuous damage and slowing enemies caught inside. At the same time, your Dread Pulse accelerates, turning the entire area into a high-damage storm.
This is your moment to push forward, reposition, and dominate:
-
Tight corridors become kill zones
-
Swarms get trapped and erased
-
Bosses take sustained, unavoidable damage
If you’ve built up your Shadow Pools properly, this ability doesn’t just help you survive—it clears entire waves.
Evolution: From Control to Chaos
Once you unlock Wraith’s evolution, Spectral Chains, her gameplay shifts into overdrive.
Now, kills trigger chain bolts that jump to nearby enemies—and those kills can spawn even more Shadow Pools.
Before evolution, Wraith rewards careful positioning.
After evolution, she becomes a spreading force of destruction.
You’ll quickly notice:
-
Faster clears
-
More Shadow Pools across the map
-
Less downtime between damage spikes
It’s the difference between controlling the fight… and overwhelming it.
How to Play Wraith Effectively
Want to get the most out of Wraith? Focus on these strategies:
1. Position with Purpose
Try to fight in areas where enemies naturally cluster. More enemies = more Shadow Pools.
2. Let the Damage Stack
Don’t rush out of your own zones too quickly. Lure enemies into your Shadow Pools and let Dread Pulse amplify the damage.
3. Time Your Ultimate
Activate Shadow Convergence when you’ve built up multiple pools. The bigger the merge, the stronger the payoff.
4. Scale Your Area
Area boosts dramatically increase Wraith’s effectiveness—larger pools, wider pulses, and more control.
A New Kind of Power
Wraith isn’t about burst damage or brute force.
She’s about momentum, positioning, and control.
The longer the fight goes, the stronger she becomes—and the more dangerous the battlefield is for anything that dares step into your shadows.
