Alloy Vulture

The Alloy Vulture is a monster introduced in the Skills 2.0 update. It resembles a black vulture with a humanoid form, similar to that of a Harpy from Greek mythology.

Environments

 * Scorched Acres (only after Looping)
 * Siren's Call

Skills & Behavior
Alloy Vultures initially spawn on the ground, where they are slow-moving. However, they can take flight to receive both increased speed and free-range movement. They will approach the player, and will land back on the ground within close range.

Crescent Air Wave
Regardless of whether it is airborne or not, the Alloy Vulture attacks by shooting crescent, disk-like waves of air in quick succession. These travel in a straight line towards the target, dealing 225% damage.

This skill has a proc coefficient of 1.0.

Tips

 * Stunning a flying Alloy Vulture causes it to fall, making it easier to deal with. Keep in mind that Alloy Vultures can recover from being stunned while falling, preventing them from receiving fall damage unless the player can keep them stunned until they hit the ground.

Trivia
