Abilities & Strategy
Ice Shards
Lord Walden releases Ice Shards all over his laboratory for 5 sec. Each Ice Shard arcs through the air then lands, dealing Frost damage to all enemy targets.
Conjure Poisonous Mixture
Lord Walden conjures a bottle of poisonous mixture then throws it at the location of a random player. When the bottle lands on the ground it erupts. The poison immediately inflicts Nature damage to players, and continues to inflict Nature damage every 2 seconds while decreasing the movement speed of players by 40% for 15 sec.
Conjure Frost Mixture
Lord Walden summons a frosty mixture and breaks it on the ground. The chemicals immediately deal Frost damage to all nearby enemies.
Conjure Mystery Toxin
Lord Walden summons a cauldron of Mystery Toxin for 10 seconds. The concoction inside is usually a Toxic Coagulant, but when Lord Walden reaches 35% health he summons a cauldron of Toxic Catalyst instead.
Toxic Coagulent
Every 3 seconds the Toxic Coagulent toxin is applied to nearby enemy players from Lord Walden's cauldron. This effect can stack up to 3 times, and if it does then the toxin fully coagulates and the player is stunned for 5 sec. However, whenever a player moves or jumps the toxin becomes unable to coagulate and a stack is removed.
Toxic Catalyst
The Toxic Catalyst pours out of Lord Walden's cauldron, inflicting Fire damage every 2 seconds but increasing the target's critical chance by 100% for 10 sec.
