Developer Blizzard Entertainment kicked off the latest Season 33: Shades of the Nephalem in aRPG Diablo 3. Nephalem can harness the power of the Shades of the Nephalem theme, which first debuted with Season 22.
“The shadows, they are moving, and they seem… animated. Like they have a will of their own. Whatever this trickery is, perhaps you can use it to your advantage. Let’s see what the demons say when you fight side by side with your own shadow!”
Activating a Shrine or a Pylon will spawn a shadow clone of your class that will come with a randomly chosen predetermined build. This clone’s power will scale with your character and will last for 1 minute (unless your character dies).
Kanai’s Cube is also getting an extra fourth slot this season. It will have the choices of the first 3 slots but will not stack with any of them, providing additional flexibility to your build.
When it comes to cosmetic rewards, the team is re-introducing previous Seasonal rewards to make them available to anyone who missed the initial run. The rewards from Season 9 are returning, but there is also something new to look forward to. Prove your worth to earn the Stupendous Contraption pet and the Industrial Portrait Frame.
In addition to the Chest and Gloves slots of the exclusive Conqueror Set, you’ll be able to earn the Pandemonium portraits, and the cute and craggily Rocky pet first introduced in Season 9.
