Ability Breakdown

Chilling Slam

Olroth raises his sword into the air before slamming down, dealing AoE cold damage and leaving a Frost Bomb on the ground that continually detonates.

Starfall Carousel

Olroth summons chilling beams from the sky that contract and expand in a circle.

Extermination Beam

The Triskelion Flame fires a tracking beam that tracks the player, causing cold damage and chilling.

Starfire Beam

Accompanied by the voice line "Starfire" the Triskelion Flame fires a massive beam through the center of the arena, leaving chilled ground.

Triskelion Bolt

The Triskelion Flame fires a fast moving projectile that deals AoE damage in a small area, causing chill.

Starfall Boomerang

The avoid sound cue plays, before Olroth throws his sword across the arena, before returning back to him and causing a large AoE explosion around him. Getting hit by the sword in flight applies Hinder, while the explosion does a large amount of cold damage.

The best way to avoid this ability is to dodge roll past him if in melee range, then stand out until after his sword returns and the AoE explosion occurs. Otherwise, if playing range dodge to the side to avoid being hit by the sword and being hindered.

Impale

Olroth raises his sword point first and charges toward the player. Similar to Count Geonor he performs a wide arcing slash in front of him after the charge is complete. This ability can be dodge-rolled, the best time to dodge is in the middle of his charge, this way you avoid the large sweep after the charge.

Frigid Flurry

Performs multiple sweeps of his sword, firing a volley of crescent Frost Waves.
