Recognize it and read the attack
A red, uncovered Host.
Remains vulnerable while lowered and fires five spread shots when raised.
What makes it dangerous
Its wider spread differs from the skull-covered Host.
A suggested response
- Keep firing without waiting for a skull to lift.
- Leave distance to read the wider spread.
Check the other enemies before committing to this response. Obstacles, your weapon and your character can change the safest angle.
The mistake to avoid
Giving it the same protected waiting window as a Host.
Find the gaps between shots, and check the variant.
Compare the family
A shared family does not guarantee the same attack or death effect.
