The Wraith-Bird's real strength did not lie in overwhelming attack power. It was a debuff monster, a creature designed to weaken its enemies and slowly dismantle them piece by piece. In a typical encounter it would fight alongside Undead Ghost-Faced Warriors, layering curses and status effects while its allies tore apart whatever victims had been crippled by its abilities.
That reliance on teamwork was the only reason Marcus's squad, most of them still under Level 25, had managed to survive their earlier attempts against it.
For Marcus, though, the situation was slightly frustrating. Looking over the bird's skill set, it was obvious that the creature excelled at mobility and harassment. It was built for quick strikes, debuffs, and strategic retreats rather than standing its ground.
He had already prepared himself for a drawn out battle.
