Kamikaze

Kamikazes are bat-like, flying enemies that chase the player and explode once they get close.

Behavior
Kamikazes are flying enemies that are dormant and detect the player if they are nearby. When triggered, they will chase the player and detonate for massive damage.

They can bypass all forms of obstacles. However, the explosion only happens if they execute their suicide attack.

Strategy
Kamikazes have extremely low HP. Simply doing a dive attack if you are above them will kill them. Any projectile with some tracking and AoE skills can easily kill them. With a fast melee weapon, running up to them and swinging also does the job. The only times where they may be difficult to hit is if you only have slow attacks.

Kamikazes will often put themselves in range for you to attack, so you can wait for them to approach you before attacking. If you lack the confidence in being able to hit them before they explode, you can always bait out their explosion attack and run away before they detonate.

Kamikazes can be distracted by Biters, even though the latter can't target them.

If it does begin to explode, it is recommended to either parry or roll backwards through the coming attack. The explosion has a very wide range and can be difficult to roll out of, even if you time it perfectly, so parrying the attack is the most reliable way to avoid huge damage.

Trivia
