Spectral Hit
Spectral Hit gives each of a unique monster's attacks damage of a random element, so no single resistance protects you from it, and adds some fire, cold and lightning resistance.
What Spectral Hit does
- Every attack adds one random element, fire, cold, lightning, poison or magic, worth its monster level × 66% to 100%.
- Cold chills and poison lasts for 1.6 seconds.
- +20% fire, cold and lightning resistance, each only while it is below 75%. (One older analysis says +40%.)
- With Magic Resistant as well, the order the modifiers apply in decides whether it ends up immune.
- Its minions don't get it.
Fighting a Spectral Hit monster
Balanced resistances matter more than one maxed one: the next hit can be any element.
Which monsters get it
Every modifier a unique monster rolls is drawn from the same pool, so each roll has the chance below of being Spectral Hit. See how special monsters get their modifiers.
| Normal | Nightmare | Hell |
|---|---|---|
| 8.3% | 7.7% | 7.7% |
- Its minions get neither the random element nor the resistances.
