Mistfall Hunter Shadow Veil: Staff Stealth Skill

Quick answer: Shadow Veil is a Staff weapon skill in Mistfall Hunter: hold to chant and enter Stealth for a period of time. Your Energy does not regenerate while Shadow Veil is active, so the trade-off is repositioning power against resource recovery. It is part of the Sorcerer’s toolkit and appears in the Shadowstrix class’s key mechanics.

What Shadow Veil Does

From the game’s skill data, Shadow Veil is a Staff Skill with the following effect:

Hold to chant and enter Stealth for a period of time. Your Energy does not regenerate while Shadow Veil is active.

The flavor text frames the intent:

A saying among the sorcerers: Shadow Veil is like a silently sheathed sword. Once unsheathed, it whispers in the enemy’s ear and draws blood instantly.

Two practical takeaways:

• Stealth lets you reposition or set up a burst — the skill is about controlling engagement, not sustained output.
• Energy stops regenerating while it is active — you are trading your resource curve for the stealth window, so time your un-stealth accordingly rather than holding it indefinitely.

Who Uses Shadow Veil

• Sorcerer — Shadow Veil is listed among the Sorcerer’s Staff skills; the Sorcerer is the ranged-mage class and the skill is core to its approach. See the Sorcerer Class Guide.
• Shadowstrix — the class’s key mechanics include “Stealth, Shadow Veil, backstabs, Wound stacks,” so the skill name also appears in the stealth-damage archetype’s identity. See the Shadowstrix Class Guide.
