Shadow mistress's icon

Dark elves are, without exception, captivated by the beauty of the Shadow Mistresses, but few would ever risk any kind of liaison. They know that to do so can have fatal consequences, as these Priestesses are armed with fire whips, and they do not just use them in battle.^OffBck

The shadow mistress is the alternate upgrade of the shadow witch, the sixth-level creature of the Dungeon, in Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East.

Abilities

• Whip Strike - When the Shadow Mistress attacks in melee, there's a chance that Slow, Weakness, or Frenzy will be cast on the target.
• Invisibility - Once per combat, the Shadow Mistress can become invisible for three turns, until it attacks, or until it moves next to an enemy unit. While it is invisible, it can't be targeted by attacks or spells, but Area-of-Effect spells will still work.
• Caster - Can cast Slow, Vulnerability, Confusion and Righteous Might.

Strategy

Compared to the shadow matriarch, the shadow mistress has better stats, but lacks the ranged ability. Invisibility gives it some tactical possibilities.
