Notes[edit]

  • The skills "Ice Spike" and "Grasping Dead" are listed as being caused by "No Name" in the combat log, possibly referring to the Greater Ice Elemental the Champion Svanir Shaman Chief summons.
  • His combat mechanics and visuals were improved with the July 19, 2022 game update update.
  • Despite being a Champion, the Shaman does not qualify as a "Champion Rank Enemy" for the Wizard's Vault. It does however count towards "Legendary rank enemy".
