Inquisitor

Inquisitors are the Hyper Evolution of Knights, belonging in the Hyper Evolved tier. They are powerful and durable melee combatants.

Spawning

• Hyper Evolved from a Knight when it obtains at least 7 Evolution Points and its 10 minute Evolution timer expires. Once it does, it will Hyper Evolve into an Inquisitor.

• Can be spawned by Challenge Watchers as a special mob during a Challenge Raid.

• Can be spawned by Vigils during the third wave of a Vigil Raid.

• Can be spawned by the Reinforcement System.

Unique Behavior

• For every entity that an Inquisitor kills, its melee damage increases by 1 (x0.5 hearts). This has a cap of 15 bonus damage (x7.5 hearts), or 30 total damage (x15 hearts), which is double its base melee damage; it takes 15 kills for an Inquisitor to reach its maximum potential damage. Additionally, upon an Inquisitor reaching 10 kills (25 total damage (x12.5 hearts)), its texture will change to appear very bloody, indicating that specific Inquisitor is capable of dealing a lot of damage.

• For every 2 health (x1 heart) an Inquisitor loses relative to its maximum HP, its armor increases by 1 (x0.5 bars). This has a cap of 14 bonus armor (x7 bars) or 21 total armor (x10.5 bars); it takes 28 lost health (x14 hearts) or 32 remaining health (x16 hearts) for an Inquisitor to reach its maximum potential armor. An Inquisitor's armor can be reduced if it regenerates its lost health.

• Used to obtain Skeletal Blood Samples via Syringes.
