Void Reaver

The Void Reaver is a crustacean-like monster added in the Hidden Realms Update. It can appear on, , and after the first Loop.

Void Reaver corpses can be observed both around the and the Null Portal in the, with the latter ones being impaled by spikes of what appears to be purple glass.

Nullifier Artillery
The Void Reaver attacks by means of artillery, where it drops several Nullifier Bombs in a rough line near the target that explode in a small area for 100% damage after a 1 second delay. These bombs inflict the stacking debuff, and when it stacks 3 times, the victim is and their movement speed becomes 0. This attack has exceptionally large range.

The spacing between the bombs varies, but they are always equally spaced apart.

Each bomb has a proc coefficient of 1.0.

Nullifier Implosion
When the Void Reaver dies, a delayed implosion will  instantly kill  anything caught in it, even the Void Reaver's allies and other Void Reavers. Despite the instant kill, the implosion does not do damage. The implosion is heralded by a siren-like sound and a sphere of void particles building up around the defeated Void Reaver.

Tips

 * The Void Reaver is not particularly dangerous itself, attacking only by means of laying relatively low-damaging bombs on the ground. The real danger of the Void Reaver comes from its ability to root the player and its death implosion.
 * Void Reavers possess the highest health of any non-boss enemy in the game, with only the even coming close, making them quite difficult to kill, particularly given how risky getting closer to deal more damage can be.
 * Nullifier Implosion will instantly kill any enemy in the game, even bosses. Although difficult to utilize, this can be useful to defeat high-health bosses such as Elite and the.
 * The only method of surviving the Nullifier Implosion is to use, as it removes the player's hitbox entirely.
 * can revive a Survivor from the implosion, but its post-revival will not protect them from another implosion.
 * Drones caught in the implosion will instantly die, but instead of vanishing, they will fall to the ground and can be repaired as normal.
 * Since the Void Reaver's death implosion kills any character, friend or foe, Void Reaver ghosts spawned from the are still dangerous to the player.
 * When a Void Reaver is killed by another Void Reaver's implosion, it does not implode, but rather vanishes like any other monster.

Trivia

 * Dying to the implosion yields a unique death message: "You have been detained. Await your sentence at the end of Time." If someone else in your multiplayer game gets killed by the implosion, the death message for everyone else is " has vanished without a trace."
 * This is most likely a reference to the Void Fields.
 * The Void Reaver is the only Monster that doesn't appear (within the regular Environments) prior to Looping.
