Skeletal Guardian

Description
Skeletal Guardians are powerful skeleton type monsters. They are the strongest spawn monsters within the Tomb of Averthis and are swift, armored, and powerful. It is recommended that you proceed with extreme caution when you encounter them at lower levels.

Location
Skeletal Guardians can be found within the Tomb of Averthis.

Skills
Skeletal Guardians are an overall higher class monster that will easily overwhelm players that are under-leveled or under-geared. They have generally higher defense, damage, and speeds then regular undead found on Floor 1.

Deathly Strike
The Skeletal Guardian will slow down to strike forward twice in a linear fashion. Opponents hit with a strike will suffer 60 damage with 100% armor penetration and powerful knockback.

This skill has a 13 second cooldown so after witnessing the Skeletal Guardian use the Deathly Strike, you can assume that you are safe to attack from the front for a short duration before it can use it's skill again.

Deathly Aura
Indicated by a chat message and an expanding circle of black particles, the Skeletal Guardian will repeatedly immobilize you for 3.5 seconds and inflict 25 damage with 100% armor penetration. After the third set of damage and slowness is inflicted, you will be hit with a final 35 damage 100% armor penetration attack and an incredibly powerful knockback.

When you see the chat message "An Aura of Death envelops you!" make sure to flee the vicinity of the Skeletal Guardian immediately to avoid suffering massive damage at lower levels.
