Once the Ancestor died and no further payment seemed in sight, those same mercenaries turned to banditry, and can now be found raiding any of the areas surrounding the Hamlet. Expect no quarter from them, and offer none. The Brigand Cutthroat is masterfully skilled with his blades, and able to deliver deadly thrusts that can easily decimate even the toughest of adventuring parties. Underestimate him at your own peril. __TOC__ == Behaviour == Brigand Cutthroats are [[Enemy Type|human]] type enemies that can be found in every dungeon, but are most common in the [[Weald]]<!--I didn't believe it, turns out this is true but only at the Apprentice difficulty with a 3% higher spawn rate than any other dungeon-->. While fragile with low health and negligible [[Protection Points|protection]], they have a high chance to land [[Critical Chance|critical hits]], and as such can easily decimate even the healthiest of parties. They usually appear together with a [[Brigand Bloodletter]] and [[Brigand Fusilier]] each, or as a pair with 2 [[Brigand Fusilier|Brigand Fusiliers]]. Although the Bloodletters may seem more intimidating, you should focus on killing the Cutthroats first - they can do a lot more direct damage if left unchecked. Cutthroats can be neutralized for a turn if [[Move|pushed]] to the back rank. In Veteran and Champion level dungeons, they will usually start by debuffing [[Bleed]] resist using their ''Slice And Dice'' attack, before exploiting it with ''Shank'' in the 2nd turn (5x and 4x higher chance in comparison to his other skills), becoming an even greater threat to your party. Additionally, while he's present, the [[Brigand Bloodletter]] is more likely to exploit your reduced Bleed resist with ''[[Brigand Bloodletter#Abilities|Rain of Whips]]''. On top of that, even after the first 2 turns, those two dangerous skills will be twice as likely to be used compared to the relatively less painful ''Uppercut Slice''. Again: try to get rid of them quickly. == Abilities == <div class = "wikitable"><tabber> Apprentice = {{monsterabilities |level=1 |attack1name=Slice And Dice |attack1type=Melee |attack1req=1,2,3 |attack1tar=1+2 |attack1acc=72.5 |attack1crit=12 |attack1damage=3-5 |attack1effect=[[File:Poptext_debuff.png|20px]] 100% [[Debuff]]: -15% Bleed Resist |attack1self= |attack2name=Uppercut Slice |attack2type=Melee |attack2req=1,2 |attack2tar=1,2,3 |attack2acc=72.5 |attack2crit=6 |attack2damage=2-4 |attack2effect=[[File:Poptext_move.png|20px]] 100% [[Move|Knockback]] 1 |attack2self= |attack3name=Shank |attack3type=Melee |attack3req=1,2,3 |attack3tar=1,2,3,4 |attack3acc=72.5 |attack3crit=6 |attack3damage=4-8 |attack3effect=[[File:Poptext_bleed.png|20px]] 100% [[Bleeding|Bleed]] 1 |attack3self= |attack4name=Harmless Poke |attack4type=Melee |attack4req=4 |attack4tar=1,2,3,4 |attack4acc=42.5 |attack4crit=0 |attack4damage=2-4 |attack4effect= |attack4self=[[File:Poptext_move.png|20px]] [[Move|Forward]] 1<br/>[[File:Poptext_buff.png|20px]] [[Buff]]: SPD +2 }} |-| Veteran = {{monsterabilities |level=2 |attack1name=Slice And Dice |attack1type=Melee |attack1req=1,2,3 |attack1tar=1+2 |attack1acc=78.75 |attack1crit=16 |attack1damage=4-7 |attack1effect=[[File:Poptext_debuff.png|20px]] 120% [[Debuff]]: -25% Bleed Resist |attack1self= |attack2name=Uppercut Slice |attack2type=Melee |attack2req=1,2 |attack2tar=1,2,3 |attack2acc=78.75 |attack2crit=12 |attack2damage=3-5 |attack2effect=[[File:Poptext_move.png|20px]] 120% [[Move|Knockback]] 1 |attack2self= |attack3name=Shank |attack3type=Melee |attack3req=1,2,3 |attack3tar=1,2,3,4 |attack3acc=82.5 |attack3crit=12 |attack3damage=5-11 |attack3effect=[[File:Poptext_bleed.png|20px]] 120% [[Bleed]] 2 |attack3self= |attack4name=Harmless Poke |attack4type=Melee |attack4req=4 |attack4tar=1,2,3,4 |attack4acc=52.5 |attack4crit=0 |attack4damage=3-5 |attack4effect= |attack4self=[[File:Poptext_move.png|20px]] [[Move|Forward]] 1<br/>[[File:Poptext_buff.png|20px]] [[Buff]]: SPD +2 }} |-| Champion = {{monsterabilities |level=3 |attack1name=Slice And Dice |attack1type=Melee |attack1req=1,2,3 |attack1tar=1+2 |attack1acc=92.5 |attack1crit=19 |attack1damage=5-10 |attack1effect=[[File:Poptext_debuff.png|20px]] 140% [[Debuff]]: -35% Bleed Resist |attack1self= |attack2name=Uppercut Slice |attack2type=Melee |attack2req=1,2 |attack2tar=1,2,3 |attack2acc=92.5 |attack2crit=14 |attack2damage=4-7 |attack2effect=[[File:Poptext_move.png|20px]] 140% [[Move|Knockback]] 1 |attack2self= |attack3name=Shank |attack3type=Melee |attack3req=1,2,3 |attack3tar=1,2,3,4 |attack3acc=90 |attack3crit=14 |attack3damage=7-15 |attack3effect=[[File:Poptext_bleed.png|20px]] 140% [[Bleed]] 3 |attack3self= |attack4name=Harmless Poke |attack4type=Melee |attack4req=4 |attack4tar=1,2,3,4 |attack4acc=60 |attack4crit=0 |attack4damage=4-7 |attack4effect= |attack4self=[[File:Poptext_move.png|20px]] [[Move|Forward]] 1<br/>[[File:Poptext_buff.png|20px]] [[Buff]]: SPD +2 }} </tabber></div> == Related Enemies == ===All Areas=== <!--*[[Brigand Cutthroat]]--> *[[Brigand Fusilier]] *[[Brigand Bloodletter]] *[[Brigand Raider]] *[[Brigand Hunter]] ===Bosses=== *[[Brigand Pounder]] *[[Brigand Matchman]] *[[Brigand Vvulf]] *[[Barrel O' Bombs]] ==Gallery== <gallery> Brigand-cutthroat.gif|Brigand Cutthroat's combat animation Cutthroat Lunge.png|Brigand Cutthroat using Slice And Dice Brigand_Cutthroat.png|Sprite for all other attacks Cutthroat Defend.png|Brigand Cutthroat defending Cutthroat Dead.png|Brigand Cutthroat's corpse. </gallery> == Trivia == He is the very first enemy encountered in the game, but there is an alternative option to reduce torch light to 0 and having 1% chance for [[Shambler]] to appear instead of the Brigand Cutthroat. {{EnemyNav}} [[Category: Enemies]] [[Category: Human]]
