Skiffblade

"They are only Wretches, but the Skiffblades are brave as any!"

- Mithrax

The Skiffblades are Wretches in service of the House of Spider.

Overview
The Skiffblades wear armor similar to that of the Spider's Associates, armored with a suit covered in green quills and wearing a full face helmet, though they have docked lower arms. They are said to have evaded many Kells before starting to work with the Spider, and are often praised for their bravery and cunning.

The Skiffblades came their employer's rescue when he was captured by the House of Salvation and brought to Riis-Reborn. They became entangled in a battle in the Crux of Darkness room of the Riis-Reborn Approach alongside SCUR-V, until The Guardian arrived to break the stalemate. Later on, they joined the other Associates in flanking Keelhaal of House Salvation in the Gale's Watch, helping the Guardian finish the Captain.

They would later join the Guardian's crew in hunting the artifacts of Darkness, often joining the battle on the front lines.

Gameplay
The Skiffblades can be summoned as Crewmates, with a orange banner signaling their availability. They fight much like any Wretch, but are completely invulnerable to damage. As long as they're in the field, the fireteam will gain improved melee damage. If they're your chosen First Mates, they will grant further improved damage, as well as improved melee regeneration. Unlocking the Skiffblades at the Star Chart will also unlock a bonus reward when Emoteing at the end of Ketchcrash or Expedition.
