Praetor

''"May your death be swift!" -Praetor, Harbinger of Chaos''

''During an ancient war, the most capable of demonkin were chosen to serve as emissaries of their respective demon lords. However after the demon lords were sealed away, unable to find their masters, surviving praetors fled to the dark realms and have not been seen since.''

Praetor is the first boss encountered in Solemn Quest.

The Praetor has 3000 base health, 50 base damage with her Hellzone Flare, and 1000 base damage with her Devastation Beam.

The Praetor remains immobile and passive until you either deal damage to her with a ranged ability or get close to her. Upon aggroing her, she spawns 2 Praetor Simulacrums that have a third of her health.

Phase 1:
In her first phase, she'll occasionally fire a single Hellzone flare towards your team. Hellzone flares remain on the ground after travelling a moderate distance. Touching one either when she fires it at you or on the ground causes it to explode and deal damage to you. She will occasionally begin to charge her devastation beam, indicated by red lightning around her model. After a brief delay, she will fire it in a straight line, most likely killing anyone in its path. If the target is further than 1 or 2 tiles away, Praetor will teleport before firing the beam, otherwise she will fire normally, without a teleport. Upon losing a third of her health, she'll temporarily gain a chaos shield that pushes nearby heroes away and makes her invincible. While the shield is active, she will quickly spawn Cursed fire and Demon spawn around the entire arena.

Phase 2:
In her second phase, she fires 3 Hellzone flares at once. If there are enough Hellzone flares on the ground, she will charge for a brief period, turning all flares in the arena yellow and making them fly at nearby heroes. After losing another third of her health, she'll repeat the chaos shield. After it ends, she'll spawn another 2 Simulacrums and enter her third and final phase.

Phase 3:
In this phase, Praetor fires 9 Hellzone flares at once, easily enough to instantly kill heroes with lower base health, and grievously injure anyone who survives. She will also teleport more aggressively for her Devastation beam, opting to teleport towards heroes rather than away.

Differences in Beyond Mode
She starts with shooting 3 Hellzone Flares at once. Then 9, which stays at 9 for Phase 3.

When she is at 66% or 33% HP, she spawns small Aspects with the Demon spawns. After the invincibility ends, she will spawn 2 more simulacrums and enter her second phase. The Hellfire remains there.
