Swine Skiver

The porcine horrors of the Warrens delight in the manic cruelty of the hunt.

There is no finer sport to the Pig-Men than the pursuit of screaming victims through the labyrinthine squalor of the Warrens. Although their blood lust is insatiable, they are not overly fond of drawn out chases. Thus Skivers have been bred and trained as expert javelineers. Even the swiftest runner cannot outpace a hurled missile! Then, slow, potent, paralytic toxins do the rest of the work, reducing the pursued prey to a crawling, twitching wretch – screaming for mercy that will never come!

Behavior
The Swine Skiver will always spawn in either position 3 or 4, usually the latter. He will then open with Spit to Roast which will move him forward. Then he will mainly use Cripple Them, striking your three heroes in the back. If you bring him to position 2, he might use Goring Fight, a weaker attack that moves himself back to position 4 where he will keep using to use Spit to Roast or Cripple Them. In position 1 he can only use Goring Fight.

Strategy
It is advised to take him out quickly, as he will do a lot of damage to your last 3 ranks heroes. A single Crit with Cripple Them can bring your heroes on Death Door. The most effective way to prevent him from doing much lasting harm is to pull him to the front. In position 2 he might use Goring Fight, a weak attack that can only do 4-8 DMG. In position 1 he can't use anything besides Goring Fight.

That said, Goring Fight sends him to position 4, so you must be vigilant in keeping him from the back where he can safely rain javelins on your team.

Abilities
This enemy only appears in Champion level dungeons.

Trivia
Goring Fight is programmed to move Swine Skiver back 4 positions, despite only requiring move back 3 positions to always end up in position 4 after executing Goring Fight.
