Description:

These units might at first seem much weaker than Stalkers. They deal noticeably lower damage and don't slow down the enemy. Despite that they have a few advantages. They are much more resistant than Stalkers thanks to the Spirit Form and can easily change targets - an enemy hit in the previous turn will still receive damage from the Harrowing Vision. The upgraded version of this unit, the Shadow Watcher, may additionally mark one of the enemy units with Mind Probe, thanks to which he will receive 15% more damage till the end of the battle. This skill is priceless when fighting the most powerful enemies.
