Marauder

super-heavy Demon

Threat Rating

★★★★★

5/5

Tier

super-heavy

Weakness

Wait for green eye flash, then Super Shotgun + Ballista quick-swap combo. Do not attack shields.

Overview

Former Night Sentinels corrupted by Hell, Marauders are among the most challenging enemies. They carry an Argent axe and shield, blocking all frontal attacks except during a brief green-eyed attack window. They also summon a spectral wolf. Patience and timing are essential.

Strengths

  • +Argent shield blocks all frontal attacks including BFG tendrils.
  • +Green-flash window is extremely brief -- punishes hesitation.
  • +Spectral wolf adds a secondary threat that must be managed.

Weaknesses

  • -Predictable attack pattern once you learn the mid-range spacing.
  • -SSG + Ballista quick-swap deals massive damage per window.
  • -Cannot block attacks from behind or during his own attack animation.

Combat Tips

  • 1Stay at mid-range -- too far triggers the axe throw, too close triggers the shotgun blast.
  • 2When eyes flash green, immediately fire Super Shotgun then quick-swap to Ballista.
  • 3Kill the spectral wolf with a single Ballista shot to reduce incoming damage.
  • 4Never use BFG, Crucible, or Lock-on Rockets -- the Marauder blocks or dodges all of them.
