Small Asteroid

Small Asteroid is a floating enemy found on The Moon and The Rift that is almost impossible to deal with through conventional means. With only 1 HP but 3 Shield, it might seem fragile, but it can only receive 1 damage at a time (or 2 from critical hits) and is completely immune to all status effects. Its regular form deals 4x3 damage with 3 movement, while the Champion variant has 5 HP, 6 Shield, 5x3 damage, and 4 movement.

The Small Asteroid fires rocks at random tiles in an area, making its attacks unpredictable and hard to dodge. Its ranged assault covers a wide, imprecise targeting zone that can hit multiple units across the battlefield. Every time it takes damage, it experiences chain knockback that sends it bouncing further away from the attacker, making follow-up hits progressively harder to land. Its status immunity means debuffs, burns, poison, and crowd control are all completely wasted on it.

The most effective strategy is to use knockback to smash it into walls or environmental hazards, exploiting The Moon's knockback-heavy mechanics. Hitting it near a wall prevents the chain knockback from pushing it out of reach, allowing follow-up strikes. Small Asteroids can also hatch from Strange Eggs alongside other Moon enemies. In most encounters, it is better to treat them as low-priority nuisances and focus on more threatening enemies unless their random rock volleys are causing significant collateral damage to your team.
