Triple ground slams no longer consume their weapon buff.

Vikens have high health and high resistance, making them the most dangerous variety of Seiðr warrior. Vikens cannot be tripped or launched and can block ranged attacks, forcing Kratos to fight them up close and personal. They attack slightly faster than a Heavy Draugr but still move slowly. Vikens wind up for their swinging attacks, so take advantage of their slow movement by evading just outside their range and countering after the attack whiffs.

Watch out for them to power up their mace. Their hits are more powerful and they perform three successive ground slams. Keep your distance until the move is finished and then move in for a combo.

In-Game Tips: “We should kill these guys quickly, they’re able to heal from most wounds.”

“We should watch out when they power up their weapon with Seiðr magic! They can do a powerful triple-slam attack.”
