Dwarven Sphere

Dwarven Spheres are hostile automatons that can be found in Dwemer ruins. They may be seen as round balls moving around, but they will unfold into an upright position to attack.

When destroyed, they have a chance to drop Dwarven Scrap, which can be refined into a Dwarven Frame.

Skills and Abilities

Blade

In melee range, Spheres will slash at their enemy using their blade as a basic attack.

Steamwall

A charged heavy slash, which can be blocked to set the Sphere off-balance.

Quake

The Sphere may also jump and slam itself on the ground, dealing moderate physical damage in a radius around it as indicated by a red circle.

Dart

At range, Spheres will shoot their crossbow as a basic attack.

Electric Wave

At range, Spheres will also charge up an attack that sends a shockwave towards the target, dealing moderate physical damage as well as staggering all players hit by it. You may interrupt this attack to set the Sphere off-balance, or simply avoid it.

Overcharge

When destroyed, the charged sphere will explode, dealing moderate shock damage to all players around it as indicated by a red circle. This attack can only be performed by dwarven spheres that appear charged with energy (blue textures on their framing) from Dwarven Spiders.

During Seht's Flywheel stage in Maelstrom Arena, the shockwaves sent are charged with lightning, inflicting additional shock damage.
