Caster

Casters are enemies in Dead Cells.

Behavior
The Caster has only 1 attack, which launches a fireball travelling linearly to the player.

It will also teleport away if the player is too close while it is not attacking.

Strategies

 * Their attacks are relatively telegraphed and there is a long delay between each shot, so use this opportunity to take it down.
 * Using a shield is the best solution, as it can reliably send its projectiles back, potentially damaging enemies behind it too. However, this does not apply to Wave of Denial who cannot neutralize its projectile.

Trivia

 * Used to be named Orb Caster.
 * A guaranteed Elite Caster can be found in Slumber Sanctuary and it drops the Spider Rune when defeated. It stops spawning after the rune is collected.
 * The game is slowed down briefly when its attack is parried.
