A Mimic taking the shape of Fulgore
|
—A mimic's flavor talk in Shadow Lords |
Mimics are lesser servants of Gargos which take on the shapes of other beings. They are the basic enemies that are most commonly faced in the Shadow Lords gameplay mode. During the events of Shadow Lords, Mimics will start to run rampant across the Earth as their master's corrupting power manifests, taking the shapes of the Killer Instinct characters to wreak havoc across the world's continents. Mimics appear as green-colored clones of existing beings that are surrounded with a green haze, and their names by their health bars are also green.
By defeating a Mimic, a fighter can earn prizes and buffs that will come in handy for the upcoming battle with Gargos.
Shadows[]
A Kan-Ra Shadow appears, desiring chaos
Shadows are optional challenges which will periodically appear during a Shadow Lords campaign playthrough. Shadows are unique in that they are not based on the game's default AI as Mimics are, but rather on the play style of real-life players who have uploaded their gaming data to the Shadow Lab server. The difficulty level of a Shadow may consequently range from "casual" to "pro gamer". Defeating a Shadow will cause corruption to be lowered dramatically in a continent, and will earn the player extra shadow points as well as special rewards.
Trivia[]
- Although the Mimic and Shadow fighters themselves are exclusive to the Shadow Lords gameplay mode, players can unlock their skins for all modes by either in-mode play (i.e. beating them in a certain amount of requirements) or by purchasing them from the in-game store using KI Gold currency.
