Mephitic

Mephitics are a possible evolution of Infected Witches, belonging in the Evolved tier.

Spawning

• Spawned when an Infected Witch gets an evolution point by killing a mob and its evolution timer begins. If the evolution succeeds, they have a 45% chance to become a Mephitic.

• Spawned from Arena Tendrils during the second and third waves of a raid.

• Spawned from Vigils during the second and third waves of a Vigil raid.

• Spawned from Verwahrungs.

• Spawned from a Howitzer's large Flesh Bomb.

Unique Behavior

• Will throw a cluster of three potions at her target every 4 seconds, as long as she has a line of sight to the target and isn't too close. She can throw potions of Harming, Weakness for 1 minute and 30 seconds, Poison for 45 seconds, Mycelium Infection II for 3 minutes, and Marker II for 3 minutes. Mephitics always attempt to walk towards their current target to deal melee damage, while continuing to throw potions until she gets too close.

  • When fighting a mob classified as undead, Harming and Poison will be replaced with either Mycelium Infection II or Instant Health potions.

• Every 10 seconds when having a target that is far enough away, the Mephitic will unhinge her jaw and barf out a cluster of 1 - 5 lingering potions, which can have the same effects and durations as the ones she throws normally.

• When below 100% health, she drinks Instant Health potions until she is at full health again. Per instance of healing, there is a 20% chance she will additionally drink either a Speed or Strength potion, both for 3 minutes. She will drink both of the potions at once. There is no cooldown on her healing when she's drinking, so she can drink them as quick as she needs to heal.

  • When in water, she will drink a potion of Water Breathing for 3 minutes.

  • When on fire, she will drink a potion of Fire Resistance for 8 minutes.

    • She will not drink Water Breathing or Fire Resistance potions if she already has the effects.

• Is able to climb up blocks.

• Infected will follow Mephitics, who themselves will follow Hyper Evolved and Calamities.

• Can perform low leaps/dashes to chase prey quickly through water.

• Able to use kill points to give themselves buffs, such as strength or speed if the target is running away. They can also give themselves regeneration if they are low on health.

Lore

• The right arm of the Mephitic has formed to be good at throwing, shown through the increased muscle development.

• The Mephitic stores the potions she throws in her hat, hence why it’s still connected by flesh strands to her head. The potions she throws from her mouth were swallowed during the evolution process, thus why the Mephitic has so many colored tumors and is drooling potion liquid.
