Skills and Abilities

Archer

Quick Shot

A basic ranged attack that does minor physical damage.

Arrow Spray

The enemy shoots a spray of arrows in the direction it is facing as indicated by a red cone. This attack does moderate physical damage as well as snares all enemies hit. This attack can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance or simply avoided. Blocking also prevents the snare and reduces the damage.

Volley

The enemy fires continuously at an area as indicated by a red circle. This attack does moderate physical damage over time. This attack can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance or simply avoided.

Desecrated Ground

On death, the undead rarely desecrate the ground under them as indicated by a red circle. This does moderate damage over time and snares all targets as well as healing undead enemies within the red circle.

Archers summoned by Frost Dragons will have different abilities:

Ice Arrow

Range attack which causes frost damage.

Poison Archer

Quick Shot

A basic ranged attack that does minor physical damage.

Poisoned Arrow

A ranged attack which poisons the target and causes poison damage over time.

Roll Dodge

The enemy can roll dodge to avoid attacks.

Arrow Spray

The enemy shoots a spray of poison arrows in the direction it is facing as indicated by a red cone. This attack does moderate poison damage as well as snares all enemies hit. This attack can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance or simply avoided. Blocking also prevents the snare and reduces the damage.

Arrow Stab

A basic melee attack that does minor physical damage where the Poison Archer grabs their arrow and stabs it into the target rather than firing it.

Desecrated Ground

On death, the undead rarely desecrate the ground under them as indicated by a red circle. This does moderate damage over time and snares all targets as well as healing undead enemies within the red circle.

Frost Archer

Quick Shot

A basic ranged attack that deals frost damage.

Ice Spray

The archer draws back their bow as a cone appears in front of them. After 1.5 seconds, they let their bow string loose, firing shards of ice in the designated conal radius.

Freezing Ground

The archer shoots an arrow that explodes on contact with the ground, leaving a large zone covered with ice, indicated by a circular AoE, dealing constant damage and snaring you.

Winter's Reach

The enemy unleashes an icy whirlwind in the direction it is facing. This whirlwind does moderate frost damage and roots all players that it hits. The root effect passes through block, but it can be escaped by roll dodging.

Ice Barrier

The enemy summons an Ice Barrier that absorbs projectiles fired at it until destroyed. The caster cannot be pulled if the wall stands between them and the enemy. The player should move so that there is a clear line of sight between themselves and the enemy.

Desecrated Ground

On death, the undead rarely desecrate the ground under them as indicated by a red circle. This does moderate damage over time and snares all targets as well as healing undead enemies within the red circle.
