Heavy shambling constructs of the solar eclipse
When daytime skies darken during a Solar Eclipse, Frankenstein emerges as one of the most durable frontline ground threats. Sporting 350 maximum health and 18 defense, this hulking creature lumbers forward with high knockback resistance. Striking players with 65 contact damage in Classic, 130 in Expert, and 195 in Master, it forces fighters to keep their distance using piercing ranged weapons or broadsword swings.
Navigating elevated platforms against stubborn ground assaults
Because Frankenstein relies strictly on standard walking fighter behavior, constructing wooden platforms several tiles off the soil prevents it from landing direct blows. While it lacks ranged attacks, its resilience can quickly overwhelm players attempting to manage multiple eclipse enemies simultaneously. Slaying this shambler offers a 0.22% chance to acquire the decorative Buddies painting for housing displays.
Trivia
- Frankenstein is inspired by classic universal monster cinema featured in horror fiction.
- High knockback resistance makes him difficult to pin against walls without continuous piercing fire.
