Dancers are enemies added in v1.8, the Bestiary Update. They appear exclusively within the Slumbering Sanctuary.

Behavior[]

Dancers are capable of stabbing towards the player repeatedly.

If the Beheaded attempts to attack the Dancer or parry their attacks, the Dancer will instantly end their own attack and perform a short dash. This ability is on a short cooldown.

Moveset[]

Stab

  • Description: A flurry of three short-range forward stabs with a short startup and fast animation.
  • Can be blocked, dodge rolled and parried.
    • If attempting to attack or parry, the dancer does an attack halt and a short dash. This move is on a short cooldown.
  • With each separate stab, the dancer moves a short distance forward.

Backstab

  • Description: Dashes behind you and does a stab attack.

Attack halt

  • Description: Upon an attempt to attack the Dancer or parry one of their attacks, the Dancer halts the attack until the parry window is over.

Strategy[]

It is best to roll through their first attack, and then retaliate before the Dancer has another opportunity to attack.
