Skills and AbilitiesEdit
- Bite
- A basic melee attack dealing low physical damage.
- Claw Swipe
- A basic melee attack dealing low physical damage.
- Stampede
- The welwa takes a step back before charging forward, trampling anything in its path, as indicated by a thin long red rectangle in front of it, dealing moderate physical damage and knocking you down. Blocking prevents the knockdown and sets the welwa off-balance.
- Be aware that the stampede knockdown effect if touching the welwa can persist for a second or two after the AoE has gone away while the welwa is readjusting after the initial charge. The welwa can repeat this attack back to back multiple times.
- Hind Kick
- If you stand behind an attacking welwa for too long, it will catch on and rear its hind legs to kick you fiercely, as indicated by a short red cone AoE, dealing high physical damage.
- Howl
- While the welwa is in the presence of other welwas, they will sometimes sit by the side and howl instead, granting a damage boost to their allies.[verification needed — does it boost damage ?]
