Punch Construct

The Punch Construct is a mechanical automaton found in the Underdocks of Act 1b, standing in an old-fashioned boxing stance with visible wiring sparking between its joints. Built from salvaged parts and animated by unknown energy, this construct was clearly designed for one purpose: delivering devastating punches. Its boxy frame and oversized fists make it one of the more intimidating normal encounters in the Underdocks.

True to its name, the Punch Construct fights exclusively with powerful melee strikes. It delivers heavy punches that deal substantial damage, and can wind up for an especially devastating haymaker that hits even harder. The Construct may also gain Block between attacks by reinforcing its metal plating, making it difficult to whittle down quickly. Its straightforward but hard-hitting approach makes it a serious threat to players with weak defensive options.

Against the Punch Construct, consistent Block is essential to survive its powerful punches. Time your defensive plays around its haymaker turns, where it telegraphs massive incoming damage. Vulnerability is highly effective since the Construct has a large health pool, and applying Weak can take the edge off its most dangerous swings. Chip damage strategies struggle here, so bring your hardest-hitting attacks to break through its defenses efficiently.
