Shadow Servant is a weapon from the Tides of the Foscari DLC of Vampire Survivors. It is the starting weapon of Genevieve Gruyère and Je-Ne-Viv.

Shadow Servant can be evolved into Ophion with Skull O'Maniac at max level.

Effects

Shadow Servant spawns a snek that wanders out at a random enemy and explode on them.

Enemies hit by Shadow Servant are slowed down permanently. It has a 50% chance to slow down enemies, affected by Luck and Curse. If the enemy is not immune to debuffs, each hit reduces the Movement Speed of the affected enemy by an additional 5%, until it reaches a minimum of 20% of their original speed after 16 hits. The slow effect stacks multiplicatively with other Movement Speed modifications.

Arcanas

Selecting Gemini (I) Arcana creates a counterpart - Silver Sliver - that is functionally the same as Shadow Servant. It levels up as Shadow Servant does, spawning a more silvery snek that does not benefit from Limit Breaking.
