History

Snader was a magician of the Terra Cotta Organization and reached great accomplishment in the art of fire magic. He wanted to become the new leader and had to duel with Nihilistic Ron over it's leadership, but was humiliated and defeated. During the duel, Snader suffered a fatal wound and was left dying in the unknown Pandemonium desert, but Luke found and remodeled him after bringing him to the Castle of the Dead.

Thanks to Luke, Snader improved his skills in fire magic and also learned the art of dark magic. He also created Pearlite: a group of wizards known as Luke's followers who attend to the ceremonies of recruiting new members in Time Square. Now Snader's primary goal is to destroy the Terra Cotta and kill Ron for the humiliation he suffered.

Move Set

• Teleport: Snader will occasionally teleport to avoid players and begin casting his attacks.

• Laser Blast: Snader shoots a energy beam in front of him, dealing moderate damage. Has about a second to charge so it's avoidable.

• Fire & Shadow Orbs: Snader creates elemental orbs that are randomly placed around the room's floor. They'll do AoE explosions dealing moderate to heavy damage if players come in contact. The orbs come in two different patterns:
  • Ascending: Larger explosions with a short duration.
  • Descending: Smaller explosions with a long duration.

Berserk

• Fire & Shadow Clones: When Snader's HP threshold is lowered or holds are overused, he'll rise up and summon two clones of himself to target random players that have a aura below them. If the clones get too close to said-targeted players, explosions will occur across the room. They can either be avoided, killed or disappear if the casting bar above them fills.

Strategy

• Watch for the explosion patterns during Fire & Shadow Orbs and where he places them to avoid being damaged.
• For players who are targeted by Fire & Shadow Clones, keep far away as possible during the fight.
• Snader is not very difficult to face outside of his main attacks. You can use holds and burst-heavy skills to take him down with ease before using Teleport.
