Adventure Guide
With meticulous care, Lihuvim weaves ephemera into being in accordance with the hallowed will of the First Ones. Now this process is threatened as Mawsworn forces seek to claim this power.
Overview
As combat unfolds, Lihuvim accumulates protoform energy. Upon reaching 100 energy, Lihuvim casts Synthesize which allows nearby protoform lattices to be destroyed. Any remaining lattices are transformed into Protoform Automa when the synthesis completes.

Abilities
- Manifest Mote — Lihuvim unleashes a blast of protoform energy that creates an Unstable Mote at the location of several players.
- Unstable Mote — Standing too near to an Unstable Mote destabilizes it causing it to rapidly expand in area of effect. This area inflicts 31,327 Cosmic damage every 2 sec to players who remain in the area.
- Deconstructing Energy — Lihuvim causes protoform energy to collapse around several players, inflicting 10,430 Cosmic damage every 1 sec for 6 sec.
- Deconstructing Blast — Lihuvim dematerializes the player, inflicting 41,770 Cosmic damage and increasing their Physical damage taken by 200% for 12 sec. Deconstructs nearby Unstable Motes within 8 yards.
- Cosmic Shift — Lihuvim expels players, inflicting 52,212 Cosmic damage and pushing them away.
- Alignment Shift — Lihuvim assigns new resonancies to players, applying either Melodic Alignment or Harmonic Alignment.
- Melodic Alignment — Lihuvim causes the player to resonate melodically.
- Harmonic Alignment — Lihuvim causes the player to resonate harmonically.
- Resonance Cascade — Lihuvim creates a cosmic resonance at a players location, inflicting 1,044 Cosmic damage to all players within 4 yards of the target. If this spell fails to hit both Melodic and Harmonic Alignments, a Dissonance Cascade is created instead.
- Dissonance Cascade — Failing to contain both Melodic and Harmonic Alignments causes the cascade to instead inflict 939,816 Cosmic damage to players within 4 yards of the target.
- Resonance — Lihuvim launches alternating blasts of Kinetic Resonance and Sundering Resonance at their current target.
- Kinetic Resonance — Lihuvim creates an explosion at target location, unleashing a strike that inflicts 208,848 Physical damage to all players within 12 yards and increasing Cosmic damage taken by 50% for 15 sec.
- Sundering Resonance — Lihuvim unleases a blast at target location, inflicting 208,848 Cosmic damage to all playesr within 12 yards and increasing Physical damage taken by 50% for 15 sec.
- Protoform Cascade — A wave of protoform energy motes crash over the area, each inflicting 83,539 Cosmic damage to players within 2 yards of the impact point.
- Synthesize — Upon reaching 100 energy, Lihuvim begins forming Protoform Automa in nearby bays, releasing excess Protoform Radiance into the area. Defeating a Protoform Automa during this time prevents it from fully forming.
- Protoform Radiance — Excess protoform energy bathes the area in radiant light, inficting[sic] 20,908 Cosmic damage every 2 sec and increasing Cosmic damage taken by 30%. Standing in a bay when a Protoform Automa is destroyed removes all stacks of this aura. This effect stacks.
- Synthesized Automa — These automa are the result of Lihuvim's frantic iteration on designs originally intended to aid with Protoform creation.
- Degeneration Automa
- Degenerate — The Degeneration Automa inscribes its target with protoform energy, inflicting 10,442 Cosmic damage every 0.5 sec for 15 sec.
- Terminal Mote — Upon death, the Degeneration Automa echoes a cast of Unstable Mote, forming a mote at a nearby players location after 4 sec.
- Unstable Mote — Standing too near to an Unstable Mote destabilizes it causing it to rapidly expand in area of effect. This area inflicts 31,327 Cosmic damage every 2 sec to players who remain in the area.
- Acquisitions Automa
- Instability — The Acquisitions Automa is imperfect and unstable, pulsing 20,885 Cosmic damage to all players every 5 sec. Cosmic damage inflicted increased by 20%. Casts Detonation upon death.
- Detonation — The Acquisitions Automa catastrophically explodes upon death, inflicting 31,355 Cosmic damage to all players within 40 yards and launching them away.
- Reoriginate — 30 sec after dying, the Acquisitions Automa reverses its recent detonation, resurrecting and returning to full health.
- Instability — The Acquisitions Automa is imperfect and unstable, pulsing 20,885 Cosmic damage to all players every 5 sec. Cosmic damage inflicted increased by 20%. Casts Detonation upon death.
- Guardian Automa
- Form Sentry Automa — The Guardian Automa creates a Sentry that persists indefinitely.
- Sentry Fire — The Sentry periodically unleashes a barrage of energy at random targets that inflicts 5,221 Cosmic damage.
- Form Sentry Automa — The Guardian Automa creates a Sentry that persists indefinitely.
- Defense Matrix Automa
- Ephemeral Barrier — The Defense Matrix Automa generates a shield of energy for 30 sec that reduces the damage taken of all nearby Automa by 50%.
- Terminal Barrier — Upon death, the Defense Matrix Automa creates one final Ephemeral Barrier that lasts for 10 sec and affects nearby automa and players.
- Degeneration Automa

Notes
- During the 9.2 PTR, the overview section in the Adventure Guide read as follows:
- Lihuvim's workshop has been hastily converted into a combat reinforcement facility to aid in the fight against the Jailer. Help test new automa prototypes by engaging in combat with Lihuvim and their creations.
- As combat unfolds, Lihuvim accumulates protoform energy. When they have enough, they will redirect that energy to nearby Protoform Synthesizers, located along the walls of the arena. During this time, the protoform lattices become vulnerable and can be destroyed before the Sythesizers can finish their work.
Patch changes
- Patch 9.2.0 (2022-02-22): Added.
