Spawning[]
Behavior[]
Elder guardians do not curse the hero with Mining Fatigue as they do within the original game.
Elder guardians have two different behaviors:
- Attack
Elder guardians lunge at nearby heroes and hit them with spikes, dealing significant damage.
- Laser attack
Elder guardians are capable of shooting a blue coloured beam at the hero, dealing more damage than a regular guardian, though it can be blocked by hiding behind a solid surface.
