Empoisonneuse des Cinq Venins

A Five Venoms disciple driven from the cities for poisoning a clan master.

Overview

A disciple of the Five Venoms sect, driven from the cities for poisoning a clan master. She lives in the marshes, where she raises snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads and spiders for their venom. Those who find her beautiful only notice her vials when it is too late.

She keeps her distance and throws vials that glow in her hand: venom if you stand or come at her, languor if you run. Too close, she sweeps her sleeve and fires scorpion needles, then glides back. Hurt, she drinks an elixir as the vanilla witch does.

Moves

Ranged

Languor vial

Thrown instead when you run from her: Slowness II and Weakness for 6 seconds.

Move 1

Scorpion needles

Within 3 blocks, three needles in a fan from her sleeve: 2 damage and Poison for 3 seconds on a hit. Can be guarded and parried; a parry staggers her.

Gliding step back

After the needles, or when crowded, she glides 3 blocks back, facing you. At most every 6 seconds.

Heal

Elixir

Hurt, she drinks as the vanilla witch does, and does nothing else meanwhile.

How to beat it

  1. Watch the vial glow in her hand, then dodge sideways with Left Alt.
  2. Do not run straight away: that earns you the languor vial.
  3. Parry her needles (raise Guard just as she sweeps) to stagger her, then press in.
  4. Strike while she drinks: she does nothing else.
