Crystalline quadrupeds projecting defense-sapping auras

Wither Beasts are armored quadruped behemoths that storm the arena during Tier 3 of the Old One's Army event. Advancing toward the Eternia Crystal with 1,400 life and 40 defense, they carry glowing wither crystals embedded into their spinal ridge. Their trampling charge inflicts 80 base contact damage, while their passive presence cripples player defenses.

Neutralizing wither debuffs and rapid stationary regeneration

The Wither Beast projects a continuous Wither aura that severely reduces the armor defense of nearby defenders and sentries. Furthermore, when rooted in place, it regenerates its health at an accelerated rate, making half-hearted attacks useless. Players must focus concentrated burst damage from Ballistas and high-tier weaponry to eliminate the beast before its aura compromises crystal defenses. In Master mode, its vitality reaches 3,570 life with 240 damage.

Trivia

  • Wither Beasts project an aura that significantly reduces the defense of nearby players and defenders.
