Elite form

Beginning at monster level 5, this species can spawn as a rare gold-stamped elite with the exclusive Shardshot Barrage 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.

Shard Arc

Depths Shardbrute 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.
