An elite, well-equipped spriggan warrior, renowned for its unbelievable agility and its prowess with advanced weaponry.

Useful Info

Spriggan defenders are well-trained spriggan warriors, wielding heavier weapons than most spriggans would bother with. Although still not terribly durable, they can take a punch and have higher evasion than most spriggans. They can be found as part of spriggan bands throughout the Depths and in various vaults, and will always be part of the Enchantress's band of followers.

Tips & Tricks

High accuracy attacks will help when facing spriggan defenders. Unavoidable spells such as Fireball, Freezing Cloud, and Airstrike work well.
They have a higher than normal chance of generating with weapons of distortion (10%). Be prepared.

History

Prior to 0.13, there was a variant spriggan defender known as a spriggan enchanter which added a variety of Hexes to their normal combat prowess.
During the brief period in which the Enchanted Forest was available in trunk, spriggan defenders could be found there.

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Spriggan defenders''' are well-trained [[spriggan]] warriors, wielding heavier weapons than most spriggans would bother with. Although still not terribly durable, they can take a punch and have higher [[ev]]asion than most spriggans. They are never found in the Lair:8 spriggan forest endings, but are a frequent sight in the spriggan forest vaults that can appear in the later parts of the main Dungeon, particularly those that house [[the Enchantress]].

-===Variant Spriggan Defender===
-You may encounter a '''spriggan enchanter''' while exploring one particular [[vault]]. These casters are about on par with their defender brethren, but always come capable of obnoxious [[Hexes]]. Defeating them will earn you a magic [[quickblade]] and several [[potions of invisibility]].
