A Dwarven Arquebus

Dwarven Arquebuses are Dwarven automatons found primarily in Vvardenfell. They are similar to Dwarven Spheres, but have mechanical lightning-based arm cannons instead of blades.

Chub Loons encountered in the Skooma Cat's Cloister transform into dwarven arquebuses upon approach.

Skills and Abilities[edit]

Quick Bolt
A basic ranged attack dealing low physical damage.
Shock Blast
The arquebus aims its cylinder arm at you and shoots a burst of lightning at you in close proximity, dealing moderate shock damage. This attack has no AoE indicator.
Impulse Mine
The arquebus aims its cylinder arm upwards and shoots a curled ball with a blue crystal atop it, somewhat resembling a Dwarven Sentry. Once placed, the ball will remain curled with a circular AoE around it, and if you step into it, the ball explodes in an shocking explosion, dealing high shock damage.
Siege Ballista
The arquebus readies its crossbow arm and unloads bolts every 0,5 second into you for 12 seconds, dealing moderate physical damage each. This ability can be interruped to set the arquebus off-balance.
Polarizing Field
The arquebus aims its cylinder arm upwards and shoots a ball of concentrated lightning at your position. The initial explosion deals moderate shock damage and upon bursting open, the ball releases lightning in the form of two circular lingering AoEs on both sides of the impact point, dealing continuous low shock damage.
Charging Bolt
While in the presence of nearby automatons, the arquebus can use its cylinder arm to overcharge them with energy, indicated by a blue link between them, increasing their outgoing damage.
Overcharge
When destroyed, the charged arquebus will explode, dealing moderate shock damage to all players around it as indicated by a red circle. This attack can only be performed by dwarven arquebuses that appear charged with energy (blue textures on their framing).
