Difficulty Grades
There are currently 3 types of grades for monsters:
- Common
- Elite (red features)
- Nightmare (dark grey features)
Damage, health and movement speed all increase with each grade bump, these changes are separated with a "/" in the tables below. Meanwhile, loot table odds will be increased for high rarity items and decreased for low tier items.
Only normal monsters can spawn at Nightmare tier.
Furthermore, monsters inherit special attacks or properties on Nightmare grade.
General Information
Flying type monsters can travel through the air and over terrain, while floating type units do not, they basically act as grounded units.
Monsters are subject to the body part damage modifier system, so hitting them in the head does more damage, while hitting their limbs does less.
Unlike player characters, monsters' shields are always active, even during their attack animations.
Monsters have the ability to destroy doors with either melee attacks, arrows or fireballs.
To learn more about boss move sets or any other specific monster, please check their individual pages.
Movement Speeds
(*) Movements speeds of the enemies only show their speed difference between their own difficulty grades.
For example, Common Skeleton Archer has "1.0" movement speed and Nightmare Skeleton Archer has "1.12", that means that Nightmare Skeleton Archer is 12% faster.
