Attacks and abilities[]

Names are unofficial

Pincer Stab

Armored Carapace Array
Media:Ruin Defender Armoured Carapace Array.mp4	Projects a shield from its front legs that blocks all damage that comes from the front and cannot be broken by any means. Right before the shield is projected, its core will be exposed, though it will be protected for the rest of the attack's duration. The Ruin Machine can still move, however, this is limited only to rotation, and the Ruin Machine cannot be forced out of this state by any means. Shield Bash: If attacked within melee range of the shield, sends a blast in front of itself that deals 100% ATK as Physical DMG and launches the player back. The core is protected during this attack.

Leap
Media:Ruin Defender Leap.mp4	Leaping high in the air, the Defender then lands on its target, dealing 100% ATK as Physical DMG around where it lands. During this whole attack, its core is protected. Note that the AoE ring that shows where it will land has a very short duration, as it will land almost instantly upon performing this move, meaning as soon as you see the ring, you need to act immediately.

AI Logic[]

• An ability will only be used if they meet both of the following conditions:
  • The ability is not on cooldown
  • The target is within the range required by the ability
• If multiple abilities meet both conditions, one will be chosen at random.
• Global CD is shared with all nearby Ruin Sentinels.

Strategy[]

The Ruin Defender is by far one of the more annoying Ruin Sentinels as its main ability is to block the player and knock them back. While the Armored Carapace Array sounds tough, in actuality it only protects anything that comes from the front of it, meaning any attack that deals AoE damage or attacking from behind will still damage the Sentinel. The best way to deal with it while it has its shield up is to attack it from any other direction except the front.

In Spiral Abyss, these enemies have an enormous health pool. It is recommended to bring freeze comps when dealing with these enemies, as they will tend to frequently put up their shield, making it hard to deal consistent DPS with many other team comps.
