Skills & Behavior[]

Any single instance of damage that deals more than 10% of the Lesser Wisp's total health will stun it and interrupt its attacks or movement.

Primary: Lesser Fireballs[]

The Lesser Wisp aims at the player for 1.6 seconds (scales with attack speed) before firing 3 fireballs each with a random spread between 0-4. These fireballs are actually bullet attacks with default falloff and as such they cannot blocked by Captain's Defensive MicrobotsDefensive Microbots (Passive)Passively gain Microbots that shoot down nearby enemy projectiles. Drones are also given Microbots.
Survivor: Captain
. This attack has an end lag of 2 seconds, which scales with attack speed.

This skill has a cooldown of 4 seconds and each bullet travels up to 200m, deals 150% damage, has a proc coefficient of 0.33, and has a force of 700.

Behaviors[]

  1. Use primary and flee: the Wisp must be within 20m from its target and have line of sight. The primary is not necessary to be off cooldown. This behavior will be active for 0.5 seconds.
  2. Use primary and strafe: the Wisp must be within 20-30m from its target and have line of sight. The primary is not necessary to be off cooldown. This behavior will be active for 2 seconds.
  3. Chase off nodegraph: the Wisp must be within 40m from its target and have line of sight. This behavior will be active for 2 seconds.
  4. Chase: no requirements. This behavior will also be active for 2 seconds.

Tips[]

  • While Lesser Wisps on their own are not very threatening, large hordes of them can be very difficult to deal with, especially as a melee Survivor.
  • Elite Lesser Wisps can be fairly dangerous, as they can consistantly hit the player and afflict Status Effects such as BurnBurn (Debuff)
