==Strategy==
 +
The Alpha Wolvers' three-hit attack is quite dangerous and harder to disrupt than most, often requiring multiple hits to interrupt, especially if your weapon is below their level (as will always be true in [[Danger Room]]s due to scaling rules).  It is often safest to back up and counter-attack after their combo is finished.  Additionally, while they are focused on you, your allies can attack them from behind with impunity.
 +
Many Cutter/Striker users tend to never use their charge attack on this family. However, if for any reason you want to, It is prefered that you charge attack just out of reach of the sword, letting the wolver come into the swords range.
 +
Wolvers occasionally sit and bark.  During this time, they do not dodge and any hit will knock them down.  Alpha Wolvers bark as well, but won't be knocked down during this time.
 +
 +
If you can mange to pin a Wolver or Alpha Wolver in a corner, attacking continuously with a sword will usually prevent them from attacking or escaping, and you can finish them off easily.
 +
*In Tier 1, Alpha Wolvers can dash while their underlings lack special abilities.
 +
*In Tier 2, the Wolvers are more agile and can now dash near players and attack quickly. Alpha Wolvers can burrow and therefore effectively teleport around the room.
 +
*In Tier 3, all Wolvers can burrow (teleport).

* Perma-Frostifur was introduced with {{release|2012-08-01}} along with {{mission|Heart of Ice}}.
 +
* According to GM Coriolis, Wolvers appear to be particularly fond of biscuits but apparently still tend to bite the knight that feeds them! The fact was found in relation to a bug in which Tier 3 Wolvers can dig underground and exit the boundaries of the map, the phrase "Bad wolver, no biscuit!" was stated in response to the glitch.

This monster has actually been seen by ME (Apsuenbwyfer - in game) but I didn't have my recording equipment, so I couldn't get a screenshot. I don't remember what gate it was in, but strangely, it was accompanied by a pack of Frostifurs (instead of the expected Ashtails) In a tier 2 level, depth 12 or so. I'm sorry for the vague information, but it's all I can offer at this point :(
+
==Tips==
 +
If you are in combat with a group of wolvers I advise running in circles around them shooting them with your handgun. This will make the have a hard time hitting you, but allow you to hit them.

Wolvers are a type of enemy found in the Clockworks.

There are several different species within the wolver family, each with different abilities.


Traits

Wolvers are usually found in groups and can call out to their comrades to ambush an unwary adventurer. As knights progress through the tiers, Wolvers become more agile and move more quickly, turning capable of dodging projectiles directed at them. Eventually the Wolvers will burrow underground and pop out, preparing to attack a knight from behind.

Wolvers aside from their inherent status are less resistant to Stun and more resistant to Freeze.

Description

This dark monster is Swarm-Infested, so it offers absolutely no Crowns, Heat, Materials, or Vials, and seemingly never stops spawning. Their defenses are enhanced on a Swarm Seed. It's a wolver that entered the dark side!


Strategy

The Alpha Wolvers' three-hit attack is quite dangerous and harder to disrupt than most, often requiring multiple hits to interrupt, especially if your weapon is below their level (as will always be true in Danger Rooms due to scaling rules). It is often safest to back up and counter-attack after their combo is finished. Additionally, while they are focused on you, your allies can attack them from behind with impunity. Many Cutter/Striker users tend to never use their charge attack on this family. However, if for any reason you want to, It is prefered that you charge attack just out of reach of the sword, letting the wolver come into the swords range. Wolvers occasionally sit and bark. During this time, they do not dodge and any hit will knock them down. Alpha Wolvers bark as well, but won't be knocked down during this time.

If you can mange to pin a Wolver or Alpha Wolver in a corner, attacking continuously with a sword will usually prevent them from attacking or escaping, and you can finish them off easily.

  • In Tier 1, Alpha Wolvers can dash while their underlings lack special abilities.
  • In Tier 2, the Wolvers are more agile and can now dash near players and attack quickly. Alpha Wolvers can burrow and therefore effectively teleport around the room.
  • In Tier 3, all Wolvers can burrow (teleport).

Trivia

  • Perma-Frostifur was introduced with release 2012-08-01 along with Interface-icon-PvE.png Dangerous Mission: Heart of Ice.
  • According to GM Coriolis, Wolvers appear to be particularly fond of biscuits but apparently still tend to bite the knight that feeds them! The fact was found in relation to a bug in which Tier 3 Wolvers can dig underground and exit the boundaries of the map, the phrase "Bad wolver, no biscuit!" was stated in response to the glitch.

Tips

If you are in combat with a group of wolvers I advise running in circles around them shooting them with your handgun. This will make the have a hard time hitting you, but allow you to hit them.
