Undead

Undead are one of the basic Enemy types featured in Praey for the Gods. They will provide one of the first real challenges to the Hero.

Description
Undead are Enemies that are heavily armoured and armed compared to the Hero. Basic Undead have a fairly bland appearance, however their Elite counterparts have much more intricate designs indicating their superiority.

They wear armour mixed with thick cloaks to presumably help protect against the cold before their death.

Types
Warriors: attack using Melee Weapons.

Rangers: attack using Ranged Weapons.

Elite Warrior: same basic attacks as their normal counterpart, except with more health and attack damage.

Elite Ranger: same basic attacks as their normal counterpart, except with more health and attack damage.

Techniques
Undead have heavier Armour and Weapons, and usually appear in groups of 2-6. Their AI is quite intelligent; they will flank the Hero; strafe when the player is aiming a bow at them, making aiming more difficult; and dodge sword swings by leaping away.

Dodging is very important when fighting Undead. Using both swords and bows, they can attack the Hero from many different angles and positions. Sword wielders will move in close and attack the Hero in subsequent moves; one will attack, and the next will try and attack the Hero to wherever they moved to.

They can attack with simple sword strikes, or jump and do a ground slash attack, with has an area of effect and causes stagger as well as taking more of the Hero's Health.

Rangers will take advantage of any time you are stationary, so again, dodging will be necessary. This can be harder when multiple enemies are around. They fire once and will then wait a few seconds before firing again.

Taking out sword wielders first whilst avoiding Ranger fire. Depending on weapon type, can take 4-6 or more hits to kill. Using a flaming torch can help as it does fire damage to enemies.
