Another day, another build! Really having fun with the new monsters and I hope you are enjoying them too! Today's build has new monster attacks for the Skeletons and Mushroom-men and a new death effect for the Skeletons!
New Skeleton Death Effects
When killing a skeleton they drop their weapons to the ground and burn away. It might be a bit tricky to see in the gif but I tried to center the dead skeleton so you can see the effect and the weapons dropping clearly.
Skeleton Brute Sweep Attack
Skeleton Brutes carry two-handed halberds and can perform a leg sweep attack that will knock you over. This is similar to the Orc Brute's smash attack, except it knocks you down in place rather than knocking you back. In some ways, this is MORE dangerous because the monsters are closer to you and may get in a free hit! Before performing a leg sweep attack a blood-like effect will appear on their weapon as well as near their healthbar.
Like all special attacks, they cannot be blocked. But dodging or running away works just fine.
In addition, you can jump over the Skeleton's leg sweep too!
Mushroom-man Spellcaster
And last, but never least, our friend the Mushroom-man. Still can't tell if he's actually casting a spell or ate some bad oysters. Either way, best to roll out of the way! Mushroom-men Spellcasters are purple with white caps and do not carry a club or shield.
This update also includes a few tweaks to the Skeleton's sounds.
