Archer
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 0.75
Armor: Low
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: None
- Archers can deal some heavy damage from range over time so it's usually best
to attack them first. Bring them into melee combat and they become ineffective
and fall easily.
Bruiser
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 8-30
Health Modifier: 1.75
Armor: Very High
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: Electricity
Immunities: Physical Effects. Fear/Paralyze/Freeze/Sleep/Taunt/Snare on Enrage
- Bruisers use Guard and have a large two-handed weapon. You'll need to time
your defense against this foe and use Shield Bash (or similar abilities) to
break down the Guard quickly and focus on the Bruisers massive Health.
Foot Soldier
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Average
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: None
- Foot Soldiers are the most basic unit you'll encounter. They generally swarm
in number but have average Health and damage output. Controlling them with
Fear, Sleep, or Freeze is always useful though they are easy to defend against
even in number so simply Taunting them works well too.
Guardsman
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1.25
Armor: High
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: Electricity
Immunities: None
- The challenge with Guardsman is that their shield blocks basically in front
of them so it is essential to flank them or cast spells that land directly
on top of them. Have a Warrior Taunt the Guardsman then face it away from
the rest of the group for easy flanking and damage.
Mage
¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 8-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Low
Resistance: Fire Mage - Fire, Ice Mage - Cold, Lighting Mage - Electricity
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Fire Mage - Fear/Burn, Ice Mage - Freeze/Chill,
Lightning Mage - Paralyze/Shocked
- Mages specialize in ranged damage with spells that can hit pretty hard. You'll
want to engage in close combat since Mages have low Armor and Health, just
watch out for Glyphs that are laid on the ground to prevent you from closing.
A Warrior with Grappling Chain is particularly useful against Mages.
Prowler
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Average
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Fear/Sleep/Snare
- Prowlers are essentially Dual Wield Rogues with Stealth capability. That
means you'll need to protect your ranged attacks from these foes as they
can sneak into the back ranks of your party and deal massive damage then
Stealth away after a few seconds. Freeze them in place and Shatter them.
Spellbinder
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Fire Spellbinder - Fire, Ice Spellbinder - Cold,
Lighting Spellbinder - Electricity
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Fire Spellbinder - Fear/Burn, Ice Spellbinder - Freeze/Chill,
Lightning Spellbinder - Paralyze/Shocked
- Spellbinders are much like Mages but primarily buff up their allies with
Barrier and other beneficial spells. Spellbinders can also teleport around the
battlefield so you'll want to lock them in place with Paralyze/Freeze pending
their resistances.

Location: All
Level Range: 12-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire
Immunities: Freeze/Sleep/Chill
Elemental Attack: Cold
- Despair Demons are common to Fade Rifts and will attack from range using their
icy projectiles to deal damage while putting up a Barrier of their own. Use
Fire spells like Immolate to set them ablaze and Fear them.
Fear Demon

Level Range: 12-30

Armor: Very High
Resistance: Electricity
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Physical Effect/Freeze/Sleep/Paralyze/Shock
Elemental Attack: Electricity
- Pride Demons are usually part of the second wave at Fade Rifts. You can
prevent them from spawning by using Dispel on the summoning locations. If you
must face a Pride Demon try using Fear to keep it away while you focus on the
lesser demons.
Rage Demon
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 8-30
Health Modifier: 1.5
Armor: High
Resistance: Fire
Vulnerable: Cold

more powerful demons you'll encounter. Freeze them in place and pour on the

up.
Shade
¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 1-30
Health Modifier: 1.1
Armor: Low
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: None
- Shades essentially the Foot Soldiers/Prowlers of the demon army. They will
break rank and attempt to reach your Archers and Mages. Lock them in place
then take them out, they lack any ability to avoid the damage.
Terror
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 1-30
Health Modifier: 1.5
Armor: Low
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: Spirit
Immunities: Fear
- Terrors have a nasty ability to dive into the ground and emerge near your
ranged allies. This causes a knockdown and is followed up by a slowing area
of effect spell that inflicts damage. It's a tough thing to deal with so you
need to Freeze/Paralyze the Terror when it appears.
Wraith
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: All
Level Range: 1-30
Health Modifier: 0.35
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Fire if Rage Demon nearby. Cold if Despair Demon nearby. Electricity
if Pride Demon nearby.
Vulnerable: None
- Wraiths are like the Archers of the demon army. They sit in the back and
fire projectiles that can whittle your health. Some Wraiths can cast Barrier
and have resistances based on the other demons around. Take them out first
when encountered in groups of other demons, they die fast.

- Treat the Red Templar Archer like you would a regular archer.

be combated in the same manner.
- Wielding a shield and defending against most attacks, the Red Templar
Guardsman should be dispatched like a standard Guardsman.

of damage with massive armor. Freeze them in place and shatter them for the
best results.

Armor: Low
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire/Spirit
Immunities: Physical Effects/Fear/Paralyze/Sleep/Chill/Poison
Elemental Attack: Spirit
- Arcane Horrors are powerful magic users that can warp around the battlefield.
Take advantage of their low armor and light them on fire for the best results
when fighting them. They are usually in the middle of a group, leading other
Undead so focus on them first.
Corpse
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: Many
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 0.7
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire/Spirit
Immunities: Fear/Sleep/Chill/Poison
- Corpses don't pose much of a threat by themselves but often come in large
number. Be sure to defeat them at a distance before they get too close, Fire
is your best bet since they can be inflicted with Burning.
Revenant
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Location: Many
Level Range: 12-30
Health Modifier: 6
Armor: Very High
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire/Spirit
Immunities: Physical Effect/Fear/Freeze/Sleep/Chill/Poison
- Revenants have the ability to pull you in from range and then smash you with
their massive shield and sword. Unlike the other Undead, the Revenant has
a large health pool and very high armor so you'll need to use Fire to really
burn them down but more than that, you require sustainability to outlast them.
