New Necromancy Summon: The Phantom Guardian

With the latest update in RuneScape, players can unlock a new Necromancy Summon: the Phantom Guardian. This brave protector specializes in protecting players in battle instead of actively attacking. The Phantom Guardian adds a defensive component to the existing team of summoned souls, reducing the damage taken.

As soon as the fifth rank in necromancy is reached, the Phantom Guardian can be unlocked at the Well of Souls. At rank 6, the powerful command ability is available, which allows the Phantom Guardian to attack attacking enemies with his shield. The damage of this ability increases with every 'Valor' stack collected during the battle.

Details on the Phantom Guardian Summon

The Phantom Guardian Summon allows you to summon a resilient soul from the underworld that reduces damage taken from main damage by up to 5%. While the Phantom Guardian is active, it collects 'Valor' stacks that further enhance its Command ability. This ability allows you to order the Phantom Guardian to hit its target with a powerful shield attack that includes up to four additional enemies near the main target.
