Skills and AbilitiesEdit

As a boss type enemy, Icestalker is immune to all crowd control effects.

Slap
A basic melee attack that deals minor physical damage.
Rock Toss
The boss throws a boulder at a target, dealing moderate physical damage and knocking the target down as indicated by a red circle.
Leaping Crush
The boss jumps onto a far away target, dealing high physical damage and knocking back all players around it. Stay near the boss to prevent this, as it deals high damage with almost no telegraphing.
Ground Slam
The boss slams the ground causing shockwaves to appear in front of itself, dealing high physical damage. Stay behind the boss to avoid this unless you are the tank.
Lifting Strike
The boss uppercuts a random player sending them flying into the air. This is followed by the Frenzied Pummeling attack. This attack does no damage and cannot be avoided.
Frenzied Pummeling
Once the player lands, the boss will stun them and smash them with his fists dealing very high physical damage over time. Other players must interrupt the boss to free the stunned player quickly.
Summon Ice Scuttlers and Ice Wraiths
Throughout the fight as the boss's health drops, Ice Scuttlers and Ice Wraiths will spawn. The wraiths deal moderate physical damage and knockback with their heavy attacks and should be cleaved down quickly if possible. If player damage is insufficient to burn the boss quickly, focus on the adds first before going back to the boss.

NotesEdit

  • Icestalker has some tattoos shared by nirncrux-infused trolls, likely being from asset re-use.
