    Heston can summon boulders and a fire pool. His fireball will initially look like a small flare from the sky, when it touches down in about 5-6s it explodes into a lava pool that damages you if you stand on it. The boulders don't seem to stun you though they will damage you.

    Mobs

    Cryostar Worm
    Name:  Worm mob.png
Views: 2770
Size:  191.0 KB

    Abilities:
    This mob is a unique mob. It has a basic poison attack that has a DoT effect of about 6-7 ticks per second. Upon its death, it's body fissions into 3-4 more smaller cryostar worms (remember arachna's fission?) that have the same abilities as it's main body. Not to forget that when these 3 baby worms spawn, at least 2-3 pools of poison (green colored) are spawned and stepping on it will apply a speed de-buff as well as a poison effect. Using the hibiscus elixir or the hibiscus plant's healing capablities (that last for a few seconds) will neutralize its poison effects.

    After death the baby ones spawn:

    Beetle mob
    Name:  Beetle mob.png
Views: 2746
Size:  34.4 KB

    When this mob notices you, the first reaction is that it will recklessly ram you that stuns you. These mobs' stuns can be avoided by using a stun immunity skill. These mobs are a real pain, so make sure to have nekro or a stun immunity skill!

    _________________________________________________

    Armored Orc
    Name:  vs160331-003.jpg
Views: 2672
Size:  2.5 KB

    Abilities:
    This mob is like our old rengol buddy. He has the axe throw skill, Buffs nearby mobs' damage and critical rate. This lasts for about ~10-12 seconds.

    _________________________________________________

    Cryostar Shaman
    Name:  Cryo Shaman.jpg
Views: 2744
Size:  15.1 KB

    Abilities:

    She summons to types of "flying-fireballs". The green color'd floating balls heal the shaman, the red color'd floating ball attack the player, each attack hits at a rate of about .5 per second so that's about 2 shots of fireballs per second and the fireballs slow your speed down. Nekro shield didn't help me, neither did razor shield help me negate the speed slowdown.

    PLEASE NOTE: Killing the shaman doesn't mean the fireballs will disappear, you'll have to kill the fireballs too as they're not connected with the shaman. The fireballs are mobs themselves

    _____________________________________________

    Dual Dagger'd Gnome
    Name:  Dual dagger gnome mob.jpg
Views: 2681
Size:  14.9 KB
    This mob just has a rush attack, although he is not much of a threat his deadly precision like the rogue character. When you fight mulitple of these mobs...well mages, please run as fast as your tiny legs can take you!

    Staff gnome

    Pool + Stun + damage
    Name:  Yellow pool stun gnome.jpg
Views: 2679
Size:  19.7 KB
    Abilities:
    This gnome spawns yellow pools that will stun you, damage you ONLY if you were standing on it. The stun lasts for about 2-4 seconds, the pools will disappear after about 10 seconds, Any other mob that stands on the yellow pool will be granted a shield (nekro shield + razor shield) that will increase their defensive capabilities. Also note, you will damaged every second for standing on the pool.

    _____________________________________________

    Heraldic Gnome
    Name:  Heraldic Gnome mob.jpg
Views: 2424
Size:  3.9 KB
    Abilities:
    This mob looks similar to the Herald or Arlor, Thus i named it "Heraldic Gnome". This mob throws poison knives at you that apply a Damage-over-time effect and drain your mana and if it throws multiple knives then yes their effects will stack too. Using the Hibiscus' anti-poison fluids will help you.

    Berserker is easier if you stick close to him. If you are close, not much further out than his long red cone, he will not axe throw. Without axe throw, he only has two moves that are concerning: his exclamation w the long red cond, and his small bright red spot. Both of these are directional and will likely one-shot you or hit you very hard. To fight him, stick close to him. When he does his exclamation mark, get ready for his long cone. He stops just before his attack. Get behind or to the side of this. Same w his red dot, which can be quite difficult to see if too many affects are going on. The red zones are easier to see solo. When it is difficult to see anything, I just stick close to him and try to be behind him at all times.

    I would also like to add, the fire patches will increase heston & preston's armor when they are standing in the patch. I don't see any icons that suggest my damage was reduced.

    Preston's freeze attack happens when you run over the white orb he tosses. Also, I have not seen any way to cancel out the Heston's stones from falling, (other than stunning) these stones will stack their dmg.

    Abilities:

    She summons to types of "flying-fireballs". The green color'd floating balls heal the shaman, the red color'd floating ball attack the player, each attack hits at a rate of about .5 per second so that's about 2 shots of fireballs per second and the fireballs slow your speed down. Nekro shield didn't help me, neither did razor shield help me negate the speed slowdown.

    PLEASE NOTE: Killing the shaman doesn't mean the fireballs will disappear, you'll have to kill the fireballs too as they're not connected with the shaman. The fireballs are mobs themselves
    The red orb tower will do more dps the closer you get to it. When you are affected with the red orb, it will also create a bleeding effect.

    These little baldies that pack a green mushroom are quite clever. Not only do they do what you describe above, their gold circles stack, and I believe increase their armor if the baldies are standing in the gold circle, however outside of circle, their armor is quite low, best to take these guys out first especially when two are present.

    1) i did not state a damage reduction. Mis-read perhaps? No offense.

    This is correct.

    This is also correct.

    Damage taken by character is increased from pool-stacking by the green shroom backed gnome. Furthermore, The stun chances increment as you stand on the pool.

    I try to keep all the gnomes away from their circles, as well as keep myself away. When I am a mage, I stun and clock them first. They die pretty quickly if you deal with them as a priority.
