Abilities & Strategy
Overview
The Nexus-King readies his mace to Conquer armies as images of the Royal Voidwing Behead and Besiege insurgents at his command. Those who lack zeal are destined for servitude when Salhadaar Invokes the Oath. By regal edict, Oath-Breakers are devoured between cosmic jaws and razed to atoms by the Royal Voidwing's Dimension Breath. Salhadaar governs the battle from atop his steed, rallying elite Shadowguard reinforcements. When King's Hunger takes reign, Salhadaar's loyal drake is called upon for ultimate sacrifice. Violet skies blacken and galaxies of Dark Stars form at the strike of a gavel as the Nexus-King plunges the world into twilight.
