However, it does not have a healing ability. It is invisible until a player is nearby, upon which it will teleport to the player and become visible. It runs towards the player, occasionally teleporting behind them, and tries to hit them, dealing.

Storm fight
The Shadow Assassins protect the four control pads for the crushers at the four corners of the room. Storm will try to protect them, attacking any player who attacks them.
