Dauntless - Behemoth Guide - Stormclaw

This is a strategy guide for the Stormclaw Behemoth in Dauntless, a kill-boss-monster free-to-play game available from the Epic Games Store. We cover various Behemoths in our Dauntless Behemoth Strategy Guide.

Attack Phases

Overall they fight like Embermanes -- charging and thrashing around -- but have lightning powers that are very different.

Charge
  • Similar to an Embermane. Try to Interrupt when it comes straight for you.
  • After a couple of fast charges, it typically stops to thrash around or run a short distance to your flank and charge you.
Short Charge
  • Once it has stopped being winded from long charges, it can rush around you in shorter distance charge moves that are not vulnerable to Interrupt.
Blue Ball / Lightning Curse
  • The Stormclaw runs far away, and from a distance launches a moderately fast blue ball of lightning that can do a lot of damage to whatever it hits. If you attack it, it can be pushed away and if it hits the Stormclaw, it will shock and Stagger it.
Lightning Fence
  • The Stormclaw will periodically run around dropping spines that connect to each other with lightning. Trying to move through them will inflict a lot of damage but they seem to do less if you are pushed through by a behemoth's attack.
  • Over time, these takes up more and more of the arena, so they are very hard to deal with if you are busy fighting another behemoth at the same time.

Kat's Hunting Tips - Stormclaw

  • The Stormclaw can only use its lightning curse attack while its horns are intact. As in unbroken. Make them broken.
  • Deflect a Stormclaw’s shock projectiles right back at them to cause electric feedback and stagger the beast.
  • The "fence posts" of the Stormclaw's lightning fence aren't immune to weapons. Destroy the posts to take down parts of the fence.
  • Stormclaws must concentrate to place its fence posts. The perfect time for Slayers to interrupt them.
