## Key points

- Shadow brings stealth and traps to Path of Exile 2.
- Clones repeat attacks and can amplify damage.
- The class launches with version 1.0 on 11 December.

## Summary

A preview of Path of Exile 2’s new Shadow class describes a stealth-focused rogue built around setting traps, creating shadow clones and striking before enemies can react. The class adds an assassin-style play experience to the game, with abilities that can combine for large attacks.

The writer played the Shadow for about 15 minutes at ExileCon 2026 and found its abilities complex but visually impressive. Players can turn invisible, lay traps such as poison gas and explosives, and summon clones that repeat many of their attacks; the class is due to arrive with the game’s 1.0 update on 11 December.
