Wispmother

Wispmothers are ghostlike, feminine creatures that are usually accompanied by wisps.

Skills and AbilitiesEdit

As an elite creature, Wispmothers are immune to all crowd control effects.

Clone
The wispmother summons two weaker clones of itself with less health but identical appearance and attacks. They will disappear when the wispmother is defeated.
Rain of Wisps
The wispmother causes wisps to fall from above the player dealing moderate magical damage in an area as indicated by red circles.
Summon Witchlight
The wispmother summons Witchlights to attack the player. These will be summoned continuously throughout the fight, so players should focus on the wispmother instead.
