Useful Info

Spriggan assassins are some of the more dangerous spriggan opponents you can encounter. Armed with a blowgun and an assortment of debilitating needles, spriggan assassins can confuse or paralyse you even if you have poison resistance. Once in melee, they will then stab you for significant amounts of damage. Spriggan assassins can occasionally be found in the Enchanted Forest.

Tips & Tricks

It's more than a little difficult to have both stasis and clarity at the same time, so a strong offense may be the best defense here. They're evasive but fragile, so try to hit them with strong unavoidable attacks if possible.
