Elite form

Beginning at monster level 5, this species can spawn as a rare gold-stamped elite with the exclusive Hookblade Flurry attack and a guaranteed level-matched item promoted one rarity tier above its normal roll. Each elite affix independently has a 50% chance to add one ordinary, non-promoted item roll.

Standard melee

Depths Hookblade holds at 50% of its authored melee reach, commits to the visible strike, and can deal at most one hit. Each strike connects only when its target intersects that trail during the corresponding active frames. Moving outside the trails or waiting until their active windows have passed avoids them, while touching the monster still deals 90% of its current outgoing damage.

Hookblade Combo

Rapidly hops from up to 330 pixels away to a point one pixel outside hero collision, then chains authored Attack 1 directly into Attack 2 with no recovery between them, resolving at most one physical hit across the full combo.
