Spreader

Spreaders are the shades of mortals who worshipped cthonic gods in their lifetime. They only appear in Asphodel.

When attacking, Spreaders fire off a moderately fast-moving spread of orbs of purple energy that can be destroyed with any type of attack.

Elite Spreaders fire a volley of three spreads per attack.

A coven of four Dire Spreaders, referred to as the Witches Circle, can be encountered as a Mini-boss in Asphodel. Each one can fire a massive amount of orbs in either a spiral pattern or a cross pattern. With Middle Management active, they can also fire four shielded orbs in a cross that cannot be destroyed by attacks.

Trivia

 * Prior to the Big Bad Update, Spreaders were a variant of Wretched Witch.
