Siegebreaker is purely a melee fighter, with an avalanche of a charging attack and a three-hit, punching attack that deals horrifying damage with the huge blades on the back of his hands. He has some sort of stomp or trample attack as well, one that tears up the earth and creates clouds of smoke from the earth in front of him.
Fatalities
Besides his gargantuan size and speed, the most talked about feature of Siegebreaker's appearance in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie were the fatalities he delivered to two of the four characters fighting him. The most memorable was the death of a Barbarian when Siegebreaker picked up the hero and outright bit his head off, then threw down the decapitated corpse with a howl of rage. In result of this action, Siegebreaker's jaw was covered with blood and body parts until the end of the battle. A Witch Doctor was similarly destroyed, not by a bite, but by a spike to the ground, after being picked up and howled at.
Death Spawn
Another interesting trick of Siegebreaker's is his death animation. He crumbles down to pieces in a very pretty way, like a decaying, hollowed volcano, but then sends out five jets of red light, which swirl around the screen for a moment before crashing to earth. Where the lights land, in the cemetery where the battle took place, great numbers of skeletons spawn. It's not clear why a giant centaur-dog beast like Siegebreaker would spawn human skeletons when he dies, but it is certainly a cool effect.
Spells and Abilities
- Swipe
- Charge
- Trample
The array of abilities of the Siegebreaker is mainly for physical melee combat, and he(she?) does not have any magical abilities or spells. The swipe of his clawed hand will do significant damage to anyone caught in it, as will his charge and trample. You might get to experience some cool death animation sooner than you'd imagined...
Related Monsters
- Skeleton - Seems to spawn in great numbers when the Siegebreaker dies.
Background
Nothing is known of the backstory behind the Siegebreaker just yet. IT seems like a special-breed demon for use in actual sieges, far more efficient than constructions steered towards a wall.
Diablo I & II Monster
No monster even resembles the Siegebreaker in Diablo I or Diablo II. He's bigger than the Act Bosses of Diablo II.
Development
Siegebreaker was the first true boss type monster to be shown to the eager Diablo community, and only a short fight with the Thousand Pounder was any indication of a "boss fight". It was the first ever boss to have fatalities when killing player characters.
