Season 39 Shades of the Nephalem

Schatten der Nephalem

The shades are stirring and they seem almost alive. Fight side by side with your own shadow — and make use of a fourth slot in Kanai's Cube.

Season 39: Shades of the Nephalem

Shadows of the Past

The core theme of Season 39 — first seen in Season 22, now back.

Shrines become allies

Every shrine and pylon you activate spawns a shadow clone of your own class that fights at your side.

Three fixed builds

The clone's build is picked at random from three presets per class — which shadow shows up is not up to you.

One minute of backup

The clone lasts one minute, or until your character dies. After that you need the next shrine.

Scales with you

The shadow's power scales with your character — the stronger you get, the harder your shadow hits.

Kanai's Cube: the fourth slot

The second major addition of the season — more creative freedom for your builds.

  1. 1Weapon
  2. 2Armor
  3. 3Jewelry
  4. 44th slot

In Season 39 Kanai's Cube has an additional fourth slot. It offers the same choices as the first three slots.

Important: the fourth slot cannot be stacked with the first three — running the same power twice gains you nothing.
