A hideous translucent green spirit of a warrior fallen in battle and recalled to this plane by unholy magic. The blade it wields is ethereal, passing easily through shields and armour, and rendering those it strikes more susceptible to magic.

Useful Info

Phantasmal warriors are undead spirits with draining branded attacks, slightly more powerful than wraiths. They are occasionally found in the deeper parts of the Dungeon and the Vaults.

Tips & Tricks

• You can summon your own phantasmal warriors with the Haunt spell.

History

In 0.13, Phantasmal warriors will no longer have draining attacks. Instead, they'll be able to blink close as a natural ability, and their melee attacks will ignore shields, check only half AC, and have a chance to temporarily lower the defender's magic resistance as though it were affected by a scroll of vulnerability.
