2. This image shows the three variants of the Shadow Spectre Prism Rifle. The top weapon is the standard Prism Rifle; the middle is the Prism Blaster used by Exarchs and the bottom weapon is the unique Spear of Starlight wielded by the Phoenix Lord Irillyth.
3. The choice of ribbons helps to further set this Exarch apart from the standard Shadow Spectres; rather than coiling around the arms and flowing behind him, they drop straight down and look more like decorative robes. He is also holding his weapon in one hand, unlike the other Spectres.
