==Tips==

*Very evasive. When attacking him, your accuracy is reduced:
**melee by 100 and ranged by 57.
**melee by 62 and ranged by 27, if you use a [[Throwing Net|net]].
*He walks through zones of control and dodges attacks of opportunity.
*The optimal tactic against him is using multiple nets and [[Throwing Weapons|throwing weapons]], with [[Duelist]] and [[Throwing Mastery]]. He has less ranged defense than [[Blade Dancer (Champion)|Blade Dancer]], so you can use [[bows]] and [[crossbows]] as well.
*He lacks [[Resilient]], so poisons and [[Dazed (Status Effect)|Daze]] can be effective. [[Nimble]] doesn't reduce poison damage.
*He can appear among [[mercenaries]] wanting to take a [[Armed Courier|package you must deliver]].
*If you play [[Oathtakers]] origin and have sworn the Oath of Honor, you may be unable to defeat him at all.
*[[Named Weapons|Named weapons]] can do high damage even to [[Battle Forged]] brothers.
*If this is an [[arena]] fight, drink an [[Iron Will Potion]] to avoid debuffs from [[injuries]].
