Description

Headwear of the Guardian Shadows. Can be used for the Ascension of Lightning characters.

Lore

Accessory left behind by the shadow of a past Guardian, telling tales of the city of Everwinter. "Svetlana the Iron Fist — her wrath as terrifying as thunder and her retribution as swift as lightning."

Farm it smart

A BOSS material. The biggest pain: weekly bosses cap rewards per week, so this is often the BOTTLENECK that traps a character at the 70→80 ascension. Only fight the boss dropping mats for the character you are ACTUALLY building — do not spread thin.
