Avoid Attacking the Fading Veteran While It Is Invisible

The Fading Veteran can become invincible and will be immune to all damage. While in this state, it will continue to fire sonar attacks, so make sure to avoid them. You can also use its attacks to track it down!

Attack the Fading Veteran After It Has Revealed Itself

When the Fading Veteran's invisibility ends, it will remain in place for a while before moving again. Use this opportunity to launch a continuous attack and deal more damage.

Fading Veteran Respawn Time

Respawns at Server Reset

Just like most overworld enemies, you will have to wait until the next day for the Fading Veteran to respawn. After defeating the Fading Veteran, you can fight them again after the next server reset.
