Lore
Who are the Cinder Skirmisher?
A brief flare carries it through the ash.
Cinder Skirmisher belongs to The Ash Legion. An army that marched into the furnaces and kept marching. They guard the deepest floors. As a runner: Fast and fragile. Runners reach you first, so keep an instant or piercing skill ready.
Attack
Flare sprint
Flares up and sprints at you in a burst of speed.
How to handle it: Turn sideways rather than fleeing: the sprint is short and the runner is easy to catch after it.
