A lich

Liches are aggressive undead creatures which attack using powerful spells. Liches are generally not found in the wild, but can occasionally be seen emerging from Dark Anchors and Dark Fissures, present among necromantic organizations or in places teeming with the dead.

Skills and Abilities

As they are considered elite enemies, Liches are immune to all forms of crowd control effects.

Necrotic Spear

A basic ranged attack that deals minor magical damage.

Defiled Ground

The lich casts a rune on the ground, indicated by a red circle, at or near its target's location, which deals continuous low magical damage and snares.

Soul Cage

The lich summons three to five lich crystals from the ground around itself, as indicated by large red circles. Standing near the crystals deals continuous low magical damage. This ability is always followed by Soul Rupture. Stay at range when this spell is cast to avoid the lich crystals.

Soul Rupture

After a short time, the crystals explode, dealing high magical damage to all targets within the red circle. Affected targets are lifted above ground briefly; Break Free can be used to escape. Blocking during the crystal detonation negates the immobilization.
