An unfathomably ancient skeleton. It has hundreds of golden sigils etched onto its bones, and pulses with terrible, unholy power.

Useful Info

Tips & Tricks

All ancient champions are considerable threats in melee, wearing plate armour/chain mail and wielding well-enchanted, branded two-handed weapons, in addition to being able to haste themselves.
Despite their deadliness and solid defenses, they don't have terribly high HP; The irresistible damage from Dispel Undead or Lee's Rapid Deconstruction in particular will take care of these very easily.

History

Prior to 0.27, they could have one of two possible spell sets:
- Bolt of Draining (3d21), Stone Arrow (3d21), and Haste
- Iron Shot (3d26), Pain (d15), and Haste
Prior to 0.19, ancient champions had a spell set with Haste, Iskenderun's Mystic Blast, and Slow.
Prior to 0.18, they had a spell set with Venom Bolt and Haunt.
Prior to 0.13, ancient champions were a variant of skeletal warriors that were only found in one specific vault.
