Skills and AbilitiesEdit
- Slash
- A basic melee ability that deals low physical damage.
- Retch
- The cliff strider vomits up its last meal, dealing poison damage in a cone and leaving an area of effect on the ground. Standing in the circle can apply continuous moderate poison damage over time.
- Stab
- A melee ability wherein the cliff strider stabs its target with its beak. Deals minor physical damage and may cause bleeding.
- Tail Swipe
- The cliff strider quickly swipes you with its tail, dealing low physical damage and staggering you.
- Dive
- The cliff strider swoops over the battlefield, raking targets with its claws. It serves as a gap closer, and a moderate AoE appears under the strider while the attack is active. If you're hit, you'll be knocked back.
- Feast
- The cliff strider sends nearby cliff striders into a frenzy, causing them to use basic attacks more often. (Forgotten Wastes-only)
