Avoid Cursed Areas Summoned by Draven's Revenant

Draven

Draven's Revenant will often invoke curse sigils that will cover a huge area of the field. Players should roll away from these areas immediately as they'll quickly explode for huge damage.

Touch and Dissipate the Souls Draven is Attracting

Players should make contact and dissipate any souls that are close to getting absorbed by Draven, as letting the latter absorb three souls empowers him. When empowered, Draven has increased damage, attack speed, and modified attacks, making the fight more difficult.

Draver, the Eternal Praetor Moveset

List of All Moves

Moves Details & Tips
1 to 4-Hit Sword Attack
Draven swings his sword towards the player one to four times. Dodge roll away or kite him once he initiates the attack.
Soul Projectiles
Draven throws projectiles that spread out into a semi-circle. Once he charges up the attack, move away from him to have an easier time avoiding each projectile.
Huge Vertical Soul Slash
Draven stomps the ground and creates a line of fire. He then throws a huge vertical slash projectile along the line which deals massive damage. When he flashes red and is about to stomp the ground, move away from his line of sight and feel free to attack his behind.
Revenant Summon: Asinia
Draven summons the spirit of Asinia, which plants three medium circles and a large circle that explodes after a short duration. Keep moving to avoid getting hit by the circles' explosions and dodge roll if necessary.
Empowering Soul Rend
Draven starts absorbing souls nearby, empowering him if he absorbs three. When empowered, his Soul Projectiles attack is modified and he gains increased attack speed and aggressiveness. Prevent souls from being absorbed by making physical contact with them.
