Combat Item List

Beyond your Hunter's innate abilities and equipped Blade, a variety of consumable combat items can turn the tide of battle in Shadowmages Midnight Sun. These items are crucial for managing resources, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and providing crucial buffs or debuffs. You can carry a limited number of these items into missions, so strategic selection is key.

The available combat items can be broadly categorized:

• Consumables:These are single-use items that provide immediate effects. Examples include:
  • Health Potions: Restore a portion of your Hunter's health. Essential for survivability.
  • Mana Elixirs: Replenish your Heroism points, allowing you to cast more spells or use more abilities.
  • Stamina Boosts: Temporarily increase your stamina regeneration, useful for dodging and performing rapid attacks.
• Grenades & Throwables:These items have area-of-effect capabilities.
  • Flashbangs: Temporarily blind and disorient enemies in an area.
  • Incendiary Bombs: Deal damage over time to enemies caught in the blast radius.
  • Frost Grenades: Slow down enemies, making them easier targets.
• Utility Items:These items offer strategic advantages.
  • Smoke Bombs: Create a cloud of smoke, breaking enemy line of sight and allowing for repositioning or escape.
  • Traps: Deployable devices that trigger when an enemy approaches, inflicting status effects like stun or damage.

You can acquire combat items from various sources: purchasing them from merchants in the Sanctuary hub, finding them as loot during missions, or crafting them if you have the necessary components and have unlocked the relevant crafting recipes. Always check your inventory before embarking on a mission and tailor your loadout to the expected threats. For instance, missions involving numerous agile enemies might benefit from frost grenades, while encounters with heavily armored foes could warrant incendiary bombs.

To use a combat item during a mission:

1. Access your item quick-select menu (default keybinds will vary by platform).
2. Select the desired item.
3. Aim and deploy the item as indicated on screen.

Mastering the use of your combat item inventory is vital for overcoming the darkest challenges Shadowmages Midnight Sun has to offer.
