A deranged undead strapped with volatile explosives, the Bomber charges straight toward its targets with reckless abandon. When it detonates, everything nearby is caught in the blast, making it one of the most dangerous special enemies in The Forge (Beta) despite its relatively low health.
OVERVIEW:
The Bomber is a special-tier enemy designed to punish poor positioning and slow reactions. Unlike most undead, it does not rely on sustained combat. Instead, it rushes directly at players with the sole purpose of detonating on contact, dealing massive area damage.
Enemy Profile: Bombers behave very differently from standard enemies. They sprint aggressively toward their target and explode upon reaching close range. Their explosions can eliminate careless Forgers in a single blast and may also damage nearby enemies.
Because of their speed and explosive nature, Bombers force players to stay alert and prioritize targets carefully.

Combat Strategy
Bombers should always be eliminated before engaging other enemies.
Recommended strategies:
- Kill from range before they reach you
- Keep moving to avoid direct contact
- Use terrain to control their approach
- Position enemies so explosions damage other foes
Allowing a Bomber to close distance is extremely dangerous.
Drops & Rewards
Defeating Bombers rewards solid gold, experience, and valuable crafting materials. Their risk-to-reward ratio is high, making them worthwhile targets once players understand how to deal with them safely.
