Monster Champion/Hardcore

This page describes the special kinds of Monster Champion which appear in the Hardcore Server. Since these versions very seldom appear on the standard servers, they have been split out into their own sub-page.

Season 8

Champions appear with Dragon-themed abilities instead of the regular champion abilities. All of these champions absorb some element and do elemental damage on hit. They also create circles on the ground which explode for a large amount of elemental damage after a few seconds.

All the champion's hits, including spells, proc it, but it has an internal cooldown to re-proc the debuff on you, almost 8s cooldown. 7s timer on all difficulty. Remove fear spell or pot to remove this debuff, or Halfling/Aasimar's Bold fear shake off will work. Unverified: Deathblock/Deathward doesn't prevent the death because it causes bane damage "equal to your max HP" rather than being a death effect. Unverified: It doesn't kill you always since the damage is your max HP. Verified: Fear Immunity from Paladin/Warlock's Aura of Courage, Lionheart, & Topaz augment blocks it; Unverified: Fear immunity from GH and other sources should also do the trick.	Deathblock	Uncanny BalanceGrants immunity to most knockdown effects.	Pierce Damage on HitAttacks deal extra Piercing damage.	Fortification BonusExtra Fortification.	None
