Attacks
From the start

Leap
Telegraph: Circle on the ground
Leaps and lands where you were, crushing the landing area.
How to dodge: It lands where you were: leave the landing circle.

Slam
Telegraph: Circle on the ground
A circular ground slam — step out of the ring.
How to dodge: Leave the circle before the impact.
Entrance
Execution
Executable below 20% health.
Once executable, it staggers for 3 s without moving or attacking, and its health holds at 1%. Get within 150 px and press Execute: a finishing blow, invulnerability, +12% health and +10 gold.
Elements and resistances
No creature resists or is weak to any element: fire, ice, arcane and physical hurt the same.
Elites and bosses cannot be frozen or stunned by shock (shock becomes a 15% slow), and each stack of chill slows them only 4%. Bosses take only 12% of knockback.
Bestiary reward
This creature has no entry in the in-game bestiary yet.
How to face it
- Elites drop a chest. Below 20% health, execute them to heal and open space in the horde.
- The dash grants invulnerability: use it to cross warnings you cannot walk around in time.
