Spiker

Description

A member of the Shapes group in Act III. The Spiker has Image Thorns and alternates between a cutting attack and gaining more Thorns, making it a steady threat especially in prolonged fights.

Abilities

•

Deals 7 damage.

•

Deals 9 damage (Ascension 2+).

Tips

• Thorns make blocking dangerous—try to avoid unnecessary contact and use damage spells if possible.
• Control the number of Shapes you take on so you’re not constantly punished by Thorns.
• Avoid letting Spiker stack too many Thorns over turns; it ramps up quickly in damage reflected.
