Description
The Eclipser is a mid-game enemy that appears in Normal Mode. It has a rapidly fast speed and decent health for its debut, meaning that they can easily kill those unprepared. Eclipsers can be spawned by the Equinox upon its death.
Eclipsers are replaced by Static on Hard Mode or if Ranked Up modifier is active, and Pure Energy on Expert Mode.
