Combat Stats

Base HP
15

Base HP is the comparison value for one enemy at its base game-data tier. Because encounter scaling rises with difficulty and progression, use it to rank enemies against each other instead of predicting a final encounter number.

Base attack damage
8

The highest single base attack damage recorded for this enemy. A high value means one mistake can be lethal even if the enemy is not otherwise dangerous.

Speed
7.5 blocks/s

Movement speed in blocks per second. Fast enemies close distance quickly and are harder to kite.

Poise
40

Poise resists stagger and knockback. A high-poise enemy keeps attacking through your hits, so stun-locking it is unreliable.

Souls
4

The souls an enemy grants. High-soul enemies are useful when a build depends on soul generation.
