Drops

Krampus drops nothing in the game's drop rules.

Punishing horned brutes of the frost moon invasion

Krampus is a menacing horned demon that arrives during the intermediate waves of the Frost Moon. Towering over festive elves with 2,500 life and 40 defense, he strides across snowy terrain with heavy, purposeful strides. When closing in on a player, he delivers brutal melee strikes dealing 100 base damage, capable of cutting through endgame armor in just a few hits.

Kiting demonic punishers with vertical maneuverability

Because Krampus lacks ranged attacks, retaining superior vertical mobility is the key to surviving his assault. Flying with wings or maneuvering across layered sky platforms allows players to pelt him with piercing bullets, magic lasers, or summoner whips without risk of counterattack. In Master mode, his health increases to 4,500 life while his swings hit for 225 damage, requiring sustained DPS to defeat him before later boss waves begin.

Trivia

  • Krampus begins spawning in wave five of the Frost Moon event.
  • He has high knockback resistance, preventing players from easily pushing him backward with standard weapons.
