Jack

A 16 HP cat enemy that uses JackAttack for powerful offensive strikes and JackShield for defensive counters. Jack is a balanced fighter capable of dealing significant damage while protecting itself from retaliation. As the Junkyard NPC turned enemy, encountering Jack in hostile form is a notable narrative moment.

Jack's JackShield ability makes him harder to kill than his 16 HP suggests, as the defensive spell can absorb or reduce incoming attacks. His offensive JackAttack complements this with powerful hits, making him a threat on both fronts. His Rift appearance suggests this is a corrupted or alternate-dimension version of the Junkyard shopkeeper.

Burst through Jack's shield before it can regenerate or apply it again. Status effects that prevent shield activation — such as Stun or Immobilize — can stop him from using JackShield at critical moments. Given that Jack is a familiar NPC, players who have interacted with him in the Junkyard will recognize the character, adding lore significance to the fight.
