Dwarven Sphere

Dwarven Spheres are hostile automatons that can be found in Dwemer ruins. They may be seen as round balls moving around, but they will unfold into an upright position to attack.

When destroyed, they have a chance to drop Dwarven Scrap, which can be refined into a Dwarven Frame.

Skills and Abilities

Blade

The sphere slashes at their target using their blade as a basic melee attack.

Dart

The sphere shoots their crossbow as a basic ranged attack.

Steamwall

The sphere winds up their blade before performing a multi-hitting spinning strike, dealing moderate physical damage. This can be blocked to set them off-balance.

Quake

The sphere jumps up and slams itself on the ground, dealing moderate physical damage in a radius around it as indicated by a red circle.

Electric Wave

When at range, the sphere shoots an empowered bolt that causes tremors that travel forward, indicated by a moving circle, dealing moderate physical damage. This can be interrupted to set the sphere off-balance. (On some dwarven spheres only)

During Seht's Flywheel stage in Maelstrom Arena, the shockwaves sent are charged with lightning, inflicting additional shock damage.

Ricochet Wave

The sphere charges up and releases a shockwave in front of itself, indicated by a red circle, dealing moderate flame damage. This can be interrupted to set the sphere off-balance. (On some dwarven spheres only) ^{Dungeon-specific?}

Overcharge

If charged when destroyed, the sphere will explode, dealing moderate shock damage to all targets around it as indicated by a red circle. This only occurs if the sphere has been charged by a dwarven spider. (blue textures on their framing)
