Alloy Vulture

The  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.

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 target, and will land back on the ground within close range. They will not sprint in either form.

Primary: Charged Wind Blade
Regardless of whether it is airborne or not, the Alloy Vulture attacks by shooting crescent, disk-like blades of wind in quick succession. These travel in a straight line towards the target, dealing 225% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0.

This skill has a cooldown of 1 second.

Utility: Fly
If the Alloy Vulture is grounded and its target is at least 40m away, it takes to the skies. While airborne, its movement speed increases from 3m/s up to 15m/s.

This skill has a cooldown of 1 second. After use, it becomes Fly To Land.

Utility: Fly To Land
If the Alloy Vulture is flying and its target is at least 22m away, it lands. Using this skill automatically moves the Alloy Vulture to a nearby ground node, preventing it from moving towards its target until it is complete.

This skill has a cooldown of 1 second. After use, it becomes Fly.
