Synergies[edit]

  • The mutation Melee Mutation Icon.png Melee works well as you can keep multiple enemies slowed down.
  • Weapons or skills with high knockback, such as Assault Shield Icon.png Assault Shield, War Javelin Icon.png War Javelin, Gilded Yumi Icon.png Gilded Yumi or Wave of Denial Icon.png Wave of Denial, can be very useful to set up critical hits for the Impaler.
    • War Javelin Icon.png War Javelin is a generally good choice for this because you can teleport to the thrown javelin.

Notes[edit]

  • Only one enemy has to be within close proximity to a suitable obstacle for every other enemy in the path to be struck by a critical hit.
  • Critical hits can be triggered from walls, doors, or barriers in boss fights.
