Newest enemy type in the mode is broken and way too powerful.
So, newest update introduced a new enemy type for the mode. These enemies are called Avengers and they will hunt down any player with a high killcount. I already had numerous encounters with these glitched enemies and they made me really paranoid...They aren´t as fast as skirmishers or rogues but their attack animation glitches a lot. When you try to hit them, they´ll do the same instablock as rogues do and right after the block they´ll just triplespam you to death with overhead attacks. What´s even worse is that these enemies have a ridiculous amount of health, as if it was a boss enemy, which doesn´t make sense at all. To me this new type of enemy just doesn´t fit into the mode since the difficulty scaling is a bit harsh most of the time, I mean it was bad enough without this new type of enemy.

I´m not sure about that health scaling up from player count. Avenger is kinda creepy sometimes, it can sneak up from the middle of the horde groups and if you can´t see it coming....It´s a death for sure when there are more than 1 enemy with the Avenger.
last time I saw an avenger hunting a guy he was uable to hit it (sliced right through it). I tried to hit it to give him some time but it was invincible and was only kill-able with spikes.

I'm not really fond of the idea to punish the "good" players. Better add some real boss battles than a speed hax using troll...

This search and destroy troll strikes 50% faster than normal. To be precise the animation speed is scaled to 1.5 instead of 1.0
I will scale it down. To 1.3 or 1.2 maybe.

It bullies only good players which have their kills/playtime score above 3 = 30kills per 10 min.
If killed it targets the next best player. Maybe this should be set to 4 kills per min? Only if it currently spawns to often. It can be adjusted in config any time though.

Concerning the hp:
It has normal heavy health like all Horde Warriors.
So not even boss hp.
The issue is that only the target can really damage it. If u are not attacked by the troll, its skin is so thick, that u can only tickle it. Meaning that any attack from non-targets cause only 3hp dmg (like a quick kick).

Any suggestions are welcome to further balance this new enemy type. I agree that fighting it in a crowd is difficult.

Oh hi Solaire, how should i add boss fights then?
It would be funny to make an Alibaba spawn (unusual flail warrior) that strikes fast and even drains points of u for every hit, and when u kill him u get 1000 points (wanted poster ;))

I can't imagine the falil to work with fast moves ^^
Or better Idea make a guy like the "knight - baruda" in this little clip :3

I did a solo run earlier today. Managed to get to wave 26 with 730 kills before I had to end the round because new players joined in. Realised that the faster you kill enemies, the more frequently Avengers spawn. I even had 2-3 Avengers during one wave, which is kinda insane since they glitch with attacking so much. Spiking Avengers on my own was a pain in the ass with the glitched blocking. How soon can you fix their glitching?

Solaire that clip was ridiculous thank you lol.... An Avenger in plate armor with a super fast overhead spaming spear.... T_T

Great job on the Avenger BTW Elko.... best part was me and a buddy hitting him a dozen times with mauls doing nothing :D good to hear only the target can kill him, now we can run away guilt free :)

Hi there!
Avenger is easy target.
Dont try to block him and just be carefull.
Elko, add please Black Knight mode after team kill.
It would be awsome and make a mates to be more responsible

Hi,
the Avenger should be animating better after next update.
Black Knight is made by TB but is not open source like GiantSlyers.
Maybe later, when I have some time to reverse engineer.

After the new update Avenger became an easy target . He was an easy target . A little bit of team work , and he dies . 3-4 blow and the avenger dies. Do not make it even easier. Maybe increase the reward for his murder?

This was how the Avenger was before the Update...
