Skills and AbilitiesEdit

Swipe
A basic melee attack dealing moderate physical damage.
Terrorizing Strike
Darkshard winds up a heavy strike, with a deceiving time before the animation and the strike, dealing very high physical damage and staggering. This can be blocked.
Feast
Darkshard shrieks loudly, indicated by a wide red cone, dealing high physical damage and snaring affected targets.
Grasping Scream
Darkshard shoots dark projectiles at nearby targets, dealing low magical damage and stunning them. If Break Free is not used, stunned targets are pulled to Darkshard, who then summons a negate field, indicated by a large red circle, dealing continuous high magical damage.
Maelstrom Summon
At certain health threshold, Darkshard vanishes from the arena and summons bosses from Maelstrom Arena to fight in its stead. At the 80% threshold, Maxus the Many is summoned. At 60%, the Champion of Atrocity and at 40%, the Argonian Behemoth (along with Argonian Venomcallers in Hard Mode).
After the bosses are defeated, Darkshard carries over a mechanic from them moving forward. For Maxus, the ability to summon two explosive adds. With Champion of Atrocity, the oblisk mechanic. And for the Argonian Behemoth, the Poison Flowers mechanic.
Summon Shade
After "Terrorizing Strike" and "Scream", a shadowy version of Darkshard spawns at a faraway target and performs those abilities again.
