Territorial

Territorial

Buff
At the end of this creature's turn, it gains 1 Strength.

Territorial belongs to Byrdonis, an elite that enters with 1 stack. At the end of every one of its turns it gains Strength equal to its stacks, so with the default 1 stack its damage climbs by 1 each turn for the whole fight. The power itself never decays and nothing in the fight raises it above 1.

Notes

Its pattern alternates Swoop, 17 damage (19 on Ascension 9), with Peck, three hits of 3 (4 on Ascension 9), and Strength is added per hit, so Peck gains 3 per point while Swoop gains 1. After five turns Peck is 8 per hit. It is a pure clock: the fight gets worse every turn, so bring burst and finish it early rather than grinding it down.
