Skeleton Duelists are Pre-Hardmode enemies that spawn in the Cavern layer. Initially, they alternate between being idle and wandering around. Upon noticing the player or taking damage, they will enter an attacking state, pursuing their target. Skeleton Duelists perform a double slash attack when they're near their target. Additionally, Duelists can dodge an incoming projectile every 1.5 seconds, allowing them to avoid damage.

Personalities

Just like most of the skeletons added by Mod of Redemption, Skeleton Duelist can spawn with different personalities, which affect its stats and behavior.

Normal is the most common one (40.82% chance) and has base stats.

Aggressive is the second most common personality (28.57% chance), possessing increased stats. Aggressive Duelists will target Lost Souls, and occasionally will target other enemies.

Calm is a common personality (24.49% chance) that comes with reduced stats. They will not target the player, unless provoked.

Soulful is a rare personality (4.08%) and comes with a unique sprite. Soulful Duelists have heavily increased stats and spawn larger Lost Souls on death.

Greedy is the rarest personality (2.04%) and also comes with a unique sprite. Greedy Duelists have reduced damage, but an increase to most other stats. They will try to run away after noticing the player, attacking only when they get close. Upon taking damage, they have a 33% chance to drop an Antique Dorul, which can happen up to 10 times. Additionally, Greedy Duelists will always drop 6-12 Antique Doruls upon death.

In addition to the above personalities, a Skeleton Duelist has a 33% chance to spawn with Glowing Eyes, which will increase its stats. They will not target Lost Souls, regardless of their base personality. Additionally, killing a Glowing Eyes Duelist will always spawn a Lost Soul as opposed to the usual 33% chance. Soulful Duelists always spawn with Glowing Eyes.
