Elite Monsters

What Are Elites?

Rare, powerful variants of normal monsters. They have a golden aura, gold HP bar, and 'Elite' prefix in their name. About 5% of spawned monsters become elite.

Elite Stats

Compared to normal monsters:

• 2x HP
• 1.5x Attack
• 1.3x Defense
• 1.5x Dodge

Elites are always aggressive and will chase you on sight.

Elite Affixes

Some elites also roll a special affix, shown on their nameplate:

• Vampiric: heals itself when it hits you.
• Swift: moves faster.
• Mighty: hits harder.
• Shielded: takes 30% less damage, and blocks 15% of landed hits for half damage (counter it with Onyx Block Pierce gems).

Elite Rewards

Killing an elite gives:

• 2x EXP
• 2x Gold
• 2x Drop Rates (on all items)
• 15% Lumina drop chance (vs 5% normal)

Elite kills are tracked separately in your Monsterpedia.

Respawn

Elites are excluded from the quadrant wave respawn system and use their own longer timer. When an elite respawns, it comes back as a normal version. Elites are a one-time encounter per spawn — fight them when you see them!
