Excavator

 




 * Downswing: Cleaves downwards with its spear at close to medium range.
 * Double Uppercut: Swings its spear across its front twice at close range.
 * Quick Uppercut: Performs the second half of the Double Uppercut attack instantaneously. This attack is predominantly used under special circumstances. See Notes and Advice for more information.
 * Shadow Leap: Jumps towards its target and plunges its spear into the ground, summoning dark spikes around it as it lands.
 * Assault Rush: Steadies itself, then lunges forward at breakneck speed, dealing damage to an extremely wide area. This attack will display a range marker prior to execution.
 * Backstep: Jumps backwards. During this move's animation, the Excavator gains invulnerability to damage.


 * If its Downswing attack successfully hits a player character, then the Excavator will follow up with a Shadow Leap while the target is still airborne.
 * If the player character successfully evades the Downswing but remains in the enemy's close-range frontal region, it will frequently attempt to use its Quick Uppercut attack. This attack has almost no precursor of its own and can be difficult to evade.
 * If the player character moves away from the enemy's frontal region before it would otherwise use its Quick Uppercut, it will frequently perform a Backstep.
