The Shadow is a unique mechanic tied to the Rogue.
Mechanics[]
Shadows are spectral copies of the player that will use the next Acid Flask, Shurikens, Umbral Blades, Shadow Cascade skill of the player in tandem. They vanish after using an ability, or a duration of 5 seconds.
The Shadow scales with the player's damage stats and up to 3 may exist at the same time (can be overridden). Shadows do not count as minions or companions, and can't be targeted.
Shadows can be created indirectly by various Rogue skills and idol effects. Some can also consume Shadows for a secondary effect.
