Skills and Abilities

Bite

A basic melee attack dealing low physical damage.

Claw Swipe

A basic melee attack dealing low physical damage.

Stampede

The welwa takes a step back before charging forward, trampling anything in its path, as indicated by a thin long red rectangle in front of it, dealing moderate physical damage and knocking you down. Blocking prevents the knockdown and sets the welwa off-balance.

Be aware that the stampede knockdown effect if touching the welwa can persist for a second or two after the AoE has gone away while the welwa is readjusting after the initial charge. The welwa can repeat this attack back to back multiple times.

Hind Kick

If you stand behind an attacking welwa for too long, it will catch on and rear its hind legs to kick you fiercely, as indicated by a short red cone AoE, dealing high physical damage.

Howl

While the welwa is in the presence of other welwas, they will sometimes sit by the side and howl instead, granting a damage boost to their allies.^{[verification needed — does it boost damage ?]}
