The Overpower Perk will allow you to do bonus damage to the Shrike when it is staggered. Since the Shrike can easily be booped during the fight, this is an essential Perk to have to finish the fight quickly!

Equip Evasive Fury For Temporary Speed Boost

Dangerous Moves & How To Boop

The Shrike will swipe four times at a Slayer close to it. These swipes are slow and can easily be evaded by moving back and away from the Shrike.

Projectile Ranged Attack

Projectile Ranged Attack

The Shrike will briefly charge an orb of blue energy, which it will then throw at a Slayer. This can easily be evaded by dodging to the side. The Shrike has an obvious telegraph for this attack making it easy to dodge.

Will Have A Follow Up Attack When Enraged

When the Shrike is enraged, the blue projectile will turn red, and will have a follow up attack. You may have to dodge twice in order to avoid both the projectiles coming at you.

Tornado Attack

The Shrike will jump back and summon a tornado that slowly moves forward, damaging Slayers in its path. If you are far away, you can easily move out of the way to avoid this attack. If you are close, you may need to dodge.

Body Slam

The Shrike will jump up and slam itself on the ground. While it is up in the air, it will spread its wings and make its surface area huge. Be careful as the slam will cover a wide area around the Shrike.

The Shrike will glide towards it target and attempt to damage the Slayer with its talons.

Boop The Shrike During This Attack

The Glide attack is your opportunity to boop the Shrike. Dealing a heavy attack to it will bring it down, and leave it vulnerable for you and your party to deal a high amount of damage.

On Heroic, Every Glide Increases Its Damage

On Heroic, Every Glide Increases Its Damage

Booping the Shrike is a lot more important in Heroic as it receives a buff called Momentum every time it glides. This adds a stacking damage buff, which can only be reduced when the Behemoth is interrupted.
