Skills and Abilities[edit]

Quick Strike
A basic melee attack that does minor physical damage.
Veiled Strike
The enemy cloaks, becoming untargetable by most attacks, and prepares to slash the target. This attack does moderate physical damage and will stun the target briefly. This attack can be blocked to set the enemy off balance.
Teleport Strike
When standing further away from them, the enemy teleports and stabs the target. This attack does moderate physical damage and stuns the target briefly.
Roll Dodge
The enemy can roll dodge to avoid attacks.
Blood Craze
The enemy slashes at you twice, doing moderate physical damage over time to the player. This attack also heals the enemy over time.
Agony
The enemy stuns the player for a short time. Taking damage from any source will break the stun, but the player may choose to break free from it instead. After the stun ends, this spell also does moderate magical damage over time to the player. This spell can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance. Blocking will prevent the stun.
Whirlwind
The enemy spins around, doing moderate physical damage to all players as indicated by a red circle. Blocking will reduce the damage taken.
Assassinate
The enemy strikes at the player's back for moderate physical damage. This attack can only be performed if the enemy is behind the player, and thus voidstalkers will often leap to get behind the player. Ensure your character is facing the enemy at all times to prevent this.
Soul Tether
The enemy jumps and casts a rune on the ground. Any players caught in the AoE attack will take moderate magic damage and be stunned for 4 seconds and healing the voidstalker for any damage done.
