Abilities

Greater Darkvision — A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
Attack of Opportunity
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Claim Trophy — Shianshi claims the soul of a creature she killed within the last minute. This works like Seize Soul, except that no black sapphire is required and the soul is turned into a glowing blue light called a soul trophy. Anyone who kills Shianshi can then free the soul from any soul trophy by touching it and speaking the word for "freedom" in any language.
Huntblade Brutality — Shianshi's greatsword Strikes have the death trait and deal an additional 2d8 damage to Drained, Off-Guard, or Frightened creatures.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDAn anvil holds enemies in place, creating flanking opportunities for the flanker to trigger huntblade brutality.
CrasherLANDA crasher drawing enemy focus allows the flanker to position for off-guard attacks without drawing retaliation.
WeaverLANDA weaver can reposition enemies into reach or off-guard states that the flanker capitalizes on for huntblade brutality.
