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

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]' band.

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.

-===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]].
