Phantasmal warrior

From Ashenzari's Archive
Revision as of 13:20, 30 November 2019 by imported>Bwijn (upd 0.24, saw it in game, no changes)
Version 0.24: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A hideous translucent green spirit of a warrior fallen in battle but recalled to this plane by unholy magic. The blade it wields is ethereal, rendering those it strikes weak-willed and vulnerable to dark magic.

Useful Info

Phantasmal warriors are aggressive incorporeal undead with magic resistance-debuffing melee attacks. They often blink closer to you to engage in melee as rapidly as possible. They are occasionally found in the Depths, the Vaults, and the Crypt.

Tips & Tricks

  • They hit hard, but by the time you encounter them in the depths, you should easily vanquish anything with low hitpoints.
  • Be especially careful facing them around anything that casts spells which are affected by your magic resistance!
  • You can summon your own phantasmal warriors with the Haunt spell.

History

  • Prior to 0.17, phantasmal warriors' attacks "pierced" through shields and armour, ignoring SH and only being subject to half of your AC.
  • Prior to 0.13, phantasmal warriors were fairly ordinary melee opponents with draining-branded attacks.
  • Prior to 0.9, they were called spectral warriors.
