SHADE

Shadow assassin. Phase, cloak, step. · Spellfall Battle Race

SHADE is one of seven classes in Battle Race, the Spellfall mode where you fight on the way down instead of only racing. Picking a class picks its kit: three spells, bound to Z, X and C, paid for out of an energy pool that refills as you fall.

The SHADE kit

KeySpellEnergyWhat it does
ZShadow Phase4Phase down to the platform below. Requires cloak
XShadow Cloak2Invisible & immune to attacks. Stops energy regen
CShadow Step3Lunge forward: stuns foes in path, and a stun speeds you up. Requires cloak

Shadow Cloak is the cheapest thing SHADE can cast at 2 energy, and Shadow Phase the most expensive at 4. With a pool of 9, that is the whole budgeting question this class asks.

How SHADE plays

5th of 7 for health, at 13. The highest energy in the roster, at 9. The highest move speed in the roster, at 358 px/s. The highest dash speed in the roster, at 700 px/s.

Speeds are in pixels per second: move speed is how fast you walk a platform, dash speed the burst that crosses a gap too wide to walk. Both matter more in Battle Race than anywhere else in Spellfall, because everything that hits you also slows you down.
