Acolyte

Acolytes are mages working for the Cult of the Outward Path, who support their allies by summoning additional units and casting spells that heal or buff friendly units. However, they have mediocre health, and fall quickly unless they have support from other units.

Acolyte Runath is the acolyte responsible for the creation of the Nexus Engine, and the primary target of the players' characters in Act I. He is found in the Inner Sanctum of Riftstorm Keep (Level 3, Act I), guarded by the most powerful soldiers in the entire Cult - when he and his escort are defeated, the Act is completed.

Strategy[]

Acolytes are fairly weak but potentially annoying enemies, particularly if they manage to summon Voidstalkers or if they have many allies. They have no resistances and can be taken down with ease, but compensate with various defensive buffs, such as a Cult Guardian's Shield Cover or their own Energy Field. Try to focus on them before they can draw out Voidstalkers. If they do manage to summon, kill the Voidstalkers immediately; their presence will cause problems with your accuracy and evasion. Also remember that anyone with Energy Field gains high magic resistance, increased power regeneration, and a moderate retaliation effect; it may be best to ignore them until you can defeat the other enemies or dispel the buff.
