Harbingers are a type of monsters that cannot be harmed directly. Harbingers summon enemies to fight the player while empowering them in different ways, and they can only be harmed by killing their minions. Harbingers can drop currency shards, for both ones seen in Wraeclast as well as their own currency.
Harbingers do not spawn naturally in maps unlike most other forms of Extra Content. They can be encountered via the Ominous Arrival Atlas passive skill, using the Harbinger map device crafting option, in Kirac's Atlas missions, in Harbinger nodes in the Azurite Mine, or by using a

Abilities
Harbingers are invincible enemies that summon waves of enemies and summon new ones as they are defeated. Harbingers can also indirectly attack by empowering their minions, such as creating a Righteous Fire aura around a monster or have all monsters use Flame Dash. At higher levels, Harbingers can also summon Obelisks that can attack or power up their monsters.
Unlike the player version, Harbinger can still cast Mark skill as aura, as well as Hex as aura.
