Clay Apothecary

The  is a monster added in the Survivors of the Void update.

Skills & Behavior
All of the Clay Apothecary's attacks inflict the debuff.

Tar Slam/Mortar
If the Apothecary's target is in close proximity, it will smash the ground, emitting a short-ranged pulse of tar that pushes players and deals damage. During this attack the Clay Apothecary will also launch a single tar ball into the sky, which rains down on its target after a few seconds. The mortar's impact area is shown with a red circle and a drizzle of tar from above. The Clay Apothecary will slightly hurt itself while performing this attack.

This skill has a cooldown of 8 seconds.

Tar Fling
If the Apothecary's target is a moderate distance away, it attacks by bending down and launching a shotgun-like spray of four tar balls from its top.

This skill has a cooldown of 6 seconds, and the Clay Apothecary can store up to 3 charges. All charges of this skill recharge at the same time.

Tips

 * Clay Apothecaries are dangerous foes at any distance, but particularly close up; getting too near to them puts players at risk of taking damage from multiple Tar Fling balls at once. Apothecaries will also heavily punish players who try to get too close by shoving them back and Tarring them, putting them at medium range again and adding a movement penalty to boot.
