Glad it was useful!

Let me know if there is anything you think should be fixed up. It was written during v1.27, but it's still close enough to be relevant, I hope.

Question; 1. Can you save shadow energy or does it reset after each turn? For example, my character has an ability that requires 4 shadow energy and on my turn I had 4 available. However, I noticed that my opponent (playing Skullcrusher) was saving his up (he had 8) so I thought that maybe I could save mine as well but when I ended my turn, it disappeared.

You can save it until it caps out at 10 se. But you don't always need to save it. If you don't use it wisely though, remember that you will end up dead.

Edit: Why is there a question 1, but no 2? What's with the numbers?

I don't know how that could've happened,because you can save shadow energy without a problem with any ally.I thought maybe he cast Shadowspawn

on you,but that card is useable by shadows and Boris

is human.Don't know,maybe you weren't paying attention or it was a game bug

This guide would also benefit from links to the bonus shadow crystals, and the physical card pre-order page too.

What is there to say that hasn't been said before? Thank you so much for the guide. It really does help us newbies. It's easy to understand and provides some great depth.

I'm glad it's still useful, even though it's based on 1.28.

I do plan to update it, but haven't found the time.
