Fafnir - Transformed Dvergr
Fafnir used to be a Dvergr. After being affected by the curse of Andvaranaut he is still wearing, Fafnir became a dragon. He is a Boss that you encounter on Legendary Difficulty only sleeping in Fafnir's Cave in The North (Act V). This can be a very challenging boss, due to its very high health and powerful attacks.
Monster Charm: May drop a Dragon Blood fragment.
Resistances[]
As a boss monster he is immune to Controls and almost immune to percent health and energy damage.
Abilities[]
Fafnir has multiple powerful attacks, most of which can kill you instantly if your resistances are low. His default melee attack is really powerful as it's the same as the Hydra super bite.
- Lava Blob - Throws a blob creating a lava puddle during 6 seconds dealing Fire and Vitality Damage. Only 5 Lava Puddles can be active at the same time.
- Poison Blob - Throws a blob creating a poison puddle during 6 seconds dealing Poison Damage. Only 3 Poison Puddles can be active at the same time.
- Tail Whack - Creates a circular shock wave dealing high Physical Damage and stunning for 2 - 4 seconds.
- Death Vortex - Summons two death vortex near the player (same as Hades during his second phase) for 12 seconds. They deal really high Vitality Damage.
- Super Bite - This attack is very dangerous and it is Fafnir basic attack, as it can kill you unless resistances are high. Does high Physical and Pierce Damage and strong Poison Damage over 2 seconds.
Strategy[]
Important Resistances
If you are a melee character you should only focus on Poison Resistance, Armor and Physical Resistance as Fafnir will only use Super Bite as basic attack and cast Tail Whack at melee range.
Fafnir has no cooldowns on his spells (except Death Vortex which has a 8 seconds cooldown), it means that he will spam his Blobs spells at long range. Thus a mage with no mobility should focus on stacking the 3 Resistances mentioned above. However a shooter with enough mobility should just hit & run avoiding puddles and vortexes.
Pets, except the Liche King and the Outsider maybe, will be almost useless if used as lure as they will melt instantly under Fafnir damage.
