Looter

Description

The Looter is an Act II monster with the Thievery power: every time it attacks, it steals a set amount of the player’s gold. If the Looter is killed, the stolen gold is returned. Its moves include Mug (standard attack), Lunge (strong, single hit), Smoke Bomb (block), and Escape (leaves combat, keeping stolen gold). This enemy punishes taking too much damage and neglecting gold economy early on.

Tips

• Bring enough damage to kill it fast so it doesn't steal too much gold.
• If possible, use block or defense when it’s about to use a strong attack rather than all‑out offense, to make up for money lost.
• Prioritize escape phase if you can kill it before too many of its attacks hit, to limit gold loss.

Trivia

The Looter was moved from the weak monster pool into the regular monster pool in a patch; it uses the Thievery power to steal gold with every attack. If it dies, gold is returned. The Looter‑Mugger pairing is known to be punishing for new players. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
