Profane servitors are angels corrupted by [[Yredelemnul]]. They have a number of potent abilities including resistances to most damage types (including holy) and vampiric/draining attacks. Their most powerful ability is their Umbra, a shadow [[aura]] which conceals their allies and makes it harder for those inside to hit. Demons, undead, and Yredelemnul worshipers are immune to its negative effects. Profane servitors are mercifully rare, only occasionally encountered while wandering [[the Abyss]], [[Pandemonium]], or certain [[Ziggurat]] floors.

Profane servitors are corrupted former [[angel]]s of [[the Shining One]] who have fallen under the dark influence of [[Yredelemnul]]. Profane servitors are fast, resistant to most damage types, including [[holy]] damage, and have vampiric/draining attacks on top of whatever [[brand]] their [[demon whip]] has. Their [[umbra]] lowers your [[to-hit|accuracy]].

*Worshippers of [[Yredelemnul]] are immune to the umbra's penalties. This includes monsters that worship Yredelemnul. Any [[halo]] effects will cancel out the umbra.
*If you worship [[the Shining One]], your own holy aura will negate a profane servitor's Umbra, resulting in a zone of normal lighting.

*Prior to [[0.14]], profane servitors were vulnerable to weapons of [[holy wrath]] (but not "pure" holy damage, such as that of [[Cleansing Flame]] and [[Holy Breath]]).

Useful Info

Profane servitors are corrupted former angels of the Shining One who have fallen under the dark influence of Yredelemnul. Profane servitors are fast, resistant to most damage types, including holy damage, and have vampiric/draining attacks on top of whatever brand their demon whip has. Their umbra lowers your accuracy. Profane servitors are rare, occasionally encountered while wandering the Abyss or lower floors of the Crypt, but are more common in Tartarus.

Tips & Tricks

  • Worshippers of Yredelemnul are immune to the umbra's penalties. This includes monsters that worship Yredelemnul. Any halo effects will cancel out the umbra.
  • Although profane servitors are immune to holy damage, they are still vulnerable to dispel undead and deathbane.
  • Keep in mind that they aren't resistant to fire and acid damage.
