Skills and AbilitiesEdit

As they are considered elite enemies, watchers are immune to all forms of crowd control effects. As daedric creatures, Watchers are particularly vulnerable to Fighters Guild abilities. Dagonic watchers have all of the same abilities (with one modified slightly), but they deal flame damage instead.

Gaze: The watcher shoots a beam from its eye directly at its target as a basic ranged attack, dealing moderate magic damage.
Shockwave: The watcher swiftly spins around and releases a burst of magic, as indicated by a large red circle, dealing moderate magical damage, knocking back and snaring all targets in the affected area. Blocking prevents the knockback but not the snare. Dagonic watchers propel themselves forward while performing this ability.
Doom-Truth's Gaze: The watcher shoots either two or five green beams from its eye. When there's two beams, they start on each side of the watcher then rejoin in front of it. When there's five beams, they all start in front of the watcher and disperse in straight lines. There is no indicator for these. Getting hit by a beam deals moderate magical damage and stuns, though Break Free can be used. Blocking negates the stun.
