Mechanics

Rogue exiles are Unique monsters based on playable characters and can use player skills, including Dodge Roll. They use a more advanced AI than other monsters with smart targeting and smart pathfinding. They can also use life flasks to heal themselves mid-combat.

Rogue exiles come equipped with their own set of equipment, which can occasionally include drop-enabled unique items, and stats from these items will affect the rogue exile. They may use items with socketed augments which are retained when dropped. Any unique items they carry will be displayed under their modifiers. When defeated, rogue exiles will drop all the equipment they were carrying. If you are defeated by a rogue exile, they will open a Town Portal and leave the area.

A Rogue exile captured in a Ritual generates new equipment each time they are respawned, including unique items.

Rogue exiles that spawn near abysses will respawn as a Lichborn Exile when killed, imbuing them with additional abilities and Abyssal modifiers. Their name will display as "<Rogue Exile's name>, the Lich Born".
