Skills and AbilitiesEdit

Shocking Touch: A basic melee attack that does minor shock damage.
Double Strike: A charged melee attack that does moderate physical damage twice. This attack can be blocked to set the spider off balance and makes it only hit once.
Static Field: The spider charges up, emitting a shock aura around itself. Standing in it deals continuous shock damage over time to all targets as indicated by a red circle. Other Dwarven automatons may also attempt to charge up by being near the spider, although this can be interrupted. When an automaton is charged, it glows blue and deals more damage.; Dwarven spiders will only perform this ability when accompanied by other automations, though some will already appear charged from the start.
Overcharge: If the spider is destroyed while charged, an explosion occurs, dealing moderate shock damage to all targets around it as indicated by a red circle.
