They use water to conceal themselves, waiting for the chance to strike from hiding. Years ago, after a theft went wrong, they fled in panic and fell into stagnant, polluted water. A strange sickness took hold, leaving their bodies rotting and poisonous. Transcension could not stop the decay spreading through their organs, but at least they no longer feel the pain. Now, beneath their ridiculous smiling masks, little remains but rotting, maddened bodies.
One ranged attack cannot be blocked. Move across its line of fire or dodge, then close from the side. Dodge the red flash and close in after the strike misses. Probe with a short attack in melee. The enemy can counter, so stop the string if the opener misses. Linger at the edge of its reach to draw out a poke. Evade it before stepping in.
