These leaders are capable of reviving dead Fallen, as well as shooting a Fire Bolt at you when you're nearby (their range is around three-quarters of a screen).

Characters with ranged attacks won't have much of a problem with Fallen, as they can pick them off as they run.Ĭomplicating matters are the Fallen Shaman.

You can always stand in one spot and let them run toward you, but you'll usually have to go through several cycles of running in and out before they're all dead.

This running motion can make them frustrating to deal with for melee characters, as you'll often have to track down each one individually before you can kill them all. In other words, they'll attempt to swarm you on all sides, only to become frightened and run when you strike down an enemy in the area, and then return to give you another go. Reappearing from the first Diablo, the Fallen retain their distinctive combat strategy. These goblin-like little imps generally attack in small packs of five to seven, though occasionally, you'll run across smaller or larger groups. You can find descriptions of Champion, Unique, and Super Unique monsters towards the bottom of the page. The following descriptions and stats are for the standard, run-of-the-mill enemies you encounter on Normal difficulty.

If you charge into Nightmare mode with a level 25 character, you're going to find it pretty tough even to hit the enemies, let alone kill them.

In general, for the best amount of experience and chance of actually hitting the enemy, you'll want to be fighting opponents that are no more than five levels higher or lower than your character. The levels given are for Normal difficulty you can add approximately 25 levels to these numbers if you're playing on Nightmare and 50 to them if you're playing on Hell. Still, it can help you see how likely you are to hit a particular enemy type. Your foes' level isn't tremendously necessary knowledge of gameplay. Here, we've grouped these monsters by the name of the first type you encounter.

The behavior of all of these monsters is generally the same, but their hit points and attack damage increase as you move along. To maximize their resources, Blizzard utilizes what is known as a 'palette shift' to recycle enemy designs as you proceed through the game, making 'new' enemies without having to create an entirely new monster.įor example, in Act I, you encounter the red-skinned Fallen very early on, while later on in the act, you run into blue Carvers, gold Devilkin, and black Dark Ones, all based on the same monster archetype.
