Abilities And Mechanics

Abyssal Army

Use the sword normally to summon an army of four to six Abyssal Wailers. They appear in a loose circle a few blocks in front of you, accompanied by a sonic explosion effect and sound.

• Base cooldown: 10 seconds
• Cooldown during Corrupted Rage: 5 seconds
• The ability only starts its cooldown when at least one Wailer is successfully summoned.
• The sword searches for a nearby Abyssal Wailer type to use when summoning.

Black Tendrils

Sneak while using the sword to target the nearest living non-player entities within 14 blocks. Up to four targets can be affected. Summoned Abyssal Wailers are ignored by this ability.

Affected targets are held at their original positions and heavily slowed for 5 seconds. Black smoke and portal-like effects mark the trapped creatures.

• Base cooldown: 15 seconds
• Cooldown during Corrupted Rage: 7.5 seconds
• The ability does not deal damage.
• If no valid targets are nearby, it reports that no enemies were found but still enters its cooldown.

Corrupted Rage

Sprint while using the sword to awaken Corrupted Rage.

• Duration: 10 seconds
• Cooldown: 60 seconds
• Doubles the Abyssal Ghoulblade’s normal melee damage.
• Reduces the remaining Army and Black Tendrils cooldowns by half when activated.
• While active, Army and Black Tendrils recharge faster.
• Smoke and portal effects surround the player while Rage is active.

Durability

The Abyssal Ghoulblade has 140 durability. Its durability loss can vary between uses, so repair or replace it when it becomes worn out.

Progression And Strategy

• Use Black Tendrils to hold several targets in place before attacking them.
• Activate Corrupted Rage before summoning the Army to benefit from its faster Army recharge.
• Save Corrupted Rage for difficult fights: it strengthens melee attacks and improves both summon abilities.
• Keep the blade equipped when you expect combat so the correct movement state can be used quickly.
• Avoid using Black Tendrils near friendly mobs when possible, since it can affect nearby living non-player entities rather than only hostile creatures.
