Logbook Description
"There is not much to know about the Unknowns. Whether they are a lesser Unknown or a younger Unknown compared to the Unknown is still up for debate. What is known about them, though, is how they will violently implode upon death. It’s uncertain if even Void Caster knows much about them."
Appearance
The Unknown Small is a corrupted black entity. It emits glitch particles and has fingers on its hand. It has multiple small humanoids on its body.
Event Strategy
- High DPS towers, like the Ranger, Accelerator, Juggernaut, Engineer or Pursuit are recommended against this.
- As it applies a debuff, majority forms of immunity to stuns will not work on its ability, meaning its effective on most towers.
- The top path Juggernaut can be used to reduce the debuff duration.
