Complete Guide to Signature and Covenant Class Abilities in Shadowlands (9.2)

Covenant Abilities will override talents if you have both versions of the same spell / double-stacked Covenant Abilities. Covenant Abilities will be disabled outside Shadowlands content when Dragonflight launches.

Patch 9.2 comes with minor updates to Covenant Abilities. We cover them on separate pages along with other class changes.

You can test out all abilities while questing in the new Shadowlands zones before ultimately deciding which Covenant you would like to pursue at level 60.

Even at maximum level, you can still talk to the various Covenant representatives located in the Enclave of Oribos to try out the abilities before choosing a Covenant.

Signature abilities are shared between all members of the same Covenant.

Covenant	Signature Ability
Kyrian	Summon Steward
Night Fae	Soulshape
Necrolord	Fleshcraft
Venthyr	Door of Shadows

The Kyrian signature ability is called Summon Steward, and you unlock it in Bastion after progressing through the zone's quest line while leveling, and you gain permanent access to it after choosing the Kyrian Covenant at maximum level.

Summon Steward: Call your steward to bring you a Phial of Serenity that can be consumed to restore 20% Health and remove all Curse, Disease, Poison, and Bleed effects. Your Steward additionally offers access to a selection of useful amenities for 4 minutes. (Instant, 5-minute cooldown)

You can sell items to your steward, ask him to change your talents (you will get the Time to Reflect buff for one minute), have him play you a song or compliment one of your friends. The steward will also give you Phial of Serenity on every summon. The item will restores 20% Health and removal Curse, Disease, Poison, and Bleed effects from you. It has three charges.

The Night Fae signature ability is called Soulshape, and it is unlocked in Ardenweald after progressing through the zone's quest line, and you can gain permanent access to it after choosing the Night Fae Covenant at maximum level.

Soulshape: Turn into a Vulpin, instantly teleporting 15 yards forward and increasing your movement speed by 50%, putting Flicker on a 4-second cooldown. You may reactivate Soulshape every few seconds to teleport again. Lasts 12 seconds, or indefinitely while in a rest area. (Instant, 1.5-minute cooldown).

Alternatively, the ability can transform you into a Wyvern, a Hippogryph, a Wolfhawk, a Feathered Drake, a Crane, a Teroclaw, a Unicorn, and a Runestag.

If you want to be able to Flicker in the direction you are moving, instead of the direction you are looking, talk to Lady Muuunn in Ardenweald at 38, 25.

Flicker can mitigate fall damage and works just like Blink if you cast it shortly before hitting the ground.
