Nettleshade
A stalker of the deep dark. The Nettleshade lives in shadow — in unlit caves, sculk-choked hollows, and the black of night. Attune to it and the darkness becomes your ally: you see in the black, spot enemies through stone, slip out of sight, and strike from where no one expects.

| III | Crouch to turn invisible · Shadowstep (active). |
| IV | Backstab — bonus damage when you strike a foe from behind. |
| V | Nightform — melt into invisibility & speed in the dark, and execute low-health foes. |
⚡ Shadowstep (Tier III, ~6s cooldown): blink through solid walls to the farthest safe spot in your line of sight (up to ~16 blocks).
The Nettleshade thrives in darkness — deep caves and nighttime give it full growth and switch on your Night Vision. Bright light is its enemy: stand in daylight or well-lit areas (light ≥ 13) and it sulks. Live in the shadows.

The Nettleshade is the assassin and cave-scout. Mob Glow lets you see every lurking threat through the walls, crouch-invisibility and Shadowstep let you slip past or reposition through solid stone, and Backstab into Nightform's execute makes you lethal from the shadows. It's the fairy for players who'd rather strike first and never be seen.
- Stay in the dark — you thrive and gain Night Vision, so torches become optional.
- Use Mob Glow to plan ambushes and avoid being surprised in caves.
- Shadowstep through walls to flank enemies or escape a bad fight.
