Soul Drain Catalyst:

The Soul Drain Catalyst is ideal for players who know how to read the battlefield as the action unfolds.

Being a channeling ability, Soul Drain boosts the damage this weapon inflicts and the mana it creates the longer this Artefact is utilized.

Soul Drain also boasts a powerful signature ability, Giga Drain, which lets you cast a mightier version of the ability for 2 seconds. If you can control this ability for its entire phase, this will result in the Artefact generating a tremendous amount of damage and mana.

The Hydra:

The Hydra bursts onto the scene, and it’s ready to annihilate you!

This Boss takes the old saying, “Two heads are better than one,” to a whole other level.

When players engage the Hydra, they will be confronted with a Boss featuring two heads. However, for each head you cut off this creature, two more heads will sprout from this Boss’s body.

It’s up to you and your fellow Incarnates to continue to engage the Hydra until it cannot spawn new heads.
