Setup

since v3.3.3: Newly added NPC Lord of Swords.

Name and Appearance

English Name: Lord of Swords.

Divided into male and female, each using an independent name.

There are five color schemes of varying shades for each gender;

Darker colors have higher attack damages, while lighter colors are more defense.

Neutral NPC. Will only attack hostile mobs with health above 40 point; will counterattack if attacked.

The only difference between male and female Lords of Swords is that females wander less when idle.

Individual Differences

Health ranges from 200 to 400 points.

Low-health individuals lean towards offense: faster movement, more frequent attacks, and larger skill ranges.

High-health individuals lean towards defense: faster regeneration, stronger armor, damage caps, and dynamic damage reduction, but weaker attacks and smaller ranges for some ultimate skills.

Phases and Flight

If below half of the max health, will enter Phase 2. The base attack multiplier and armor increase by about 15%, movement speed increases by half, and evasion, blocking, and offense become more frequent. Will continuously fly with flying swords circling its body.
