Solo Strategy

Shedletsky's signature attack is Triple Slash (3 hits at 8/10/12 damage โ€” parry the third hit for a free counter window). Phase 2 activates Venomshank: all sword attacks gain poison (5 damage over 3 turns). Bring Antidote or Heal Plus to offset the poison damage. Keep Ice Dagger ready to slow his attack speed. He becomes more aggressive below 30% HP โ€” prioritize burst damage in this window.

Rewards: Venomshank (legendary sword), Shedletsky's Hat (cosmetic), 2500 XP
