Lumbers are a type of monster found in the Clockworks.

Traits

Lumbers are a hybrid of tree and machine. Although they move slowly, their arm is heavy, allowing them to stun and disperse crowds of knights and monsters alike.

Lumbers will deal both elemental and physical damage as Knights delve deeper into the Clockworks.

Strategy

All of the Lumbers' only attack is their Mace Smash. It is a slow attack with a fairly long charge time. This attack strikes everything in front of it and has a very good chance of stunning all hit targets, be them knights or other monsters. If you can dodge this attack, the Lumber will remain harmless for a few seconds before he strikes again. Use this advantage to get as many hits on it as you can, or get into a better position.

  • If their attack hits a shield knight, they are knocked back, leaving your window of attacking shorter or even allowing you to escape a crowd of monsters.
  • You can also stay behind them and attack as they may not turn around fast enough to counter.
  • Lumbers in higher tiers have less warning before their attack falls.
  • In narrow hallways, it's best to lure them to attack you, fall back, and then retaliate while they recover.
  • Because of their long charge time, they are vulnerable to charge attacks.
  • Even if there's a wall between you and the Lumber, it's attack will still push you back, be wary of this around traps.
