Klepon — Aggro Controller

Meet Klepon

Klepon is the party wildcard — a small, enthusiastic adventurer who combines aggro manipulation with burst AoE damage. Mechanically Klepon sits between tank and DPS: moderate HP, high burst potential, and an AI that frequently pulls additional enemies into fights Bagel intended to handle one at a time. The "useless party" reputation owes much to Klepon's habit of turning single encounters into chaotic multi-pulls.

Despite the chaos, Klepon's Taunt Yell and Scatter Trap abilities provide real tactical value when they fire correctly. Taunt Yell redirects enemy focus briefly, giving Bagel breathing room to re-establish threat. Scatter Trap deals AoE damage and slows grouped enemies — perfect after Klepon accidentally aggros an entire room.

Klepon's Stats and Abilities

Klepon has moderate HP — more than Madeleine, less than Bagel — and the highest burst damage potential in short windows. Passive Mischief grants 10% bonus loot drop chance on enemies Klepon lands the killing blow on, a nice incremental bonus for farming runs. Auto rotation: Throwing Star (ranged opener), Taunt Yell (eight-second cooldown threat swap), Scatter Trap (ground AoE every twelve seconds), and Melee Stab.

Klepon's AI prefers ranged openers before closing to melee, which sometimes splits enemy packs in ways that confuse Bagel's threat table. When you see Klepon's health drop suddenly, assume a multi-pull and switch to Circle of Mending rather than single-target heals.

Managing Klepon's Chaos

Accept that Klepon will pull extra enemies in most dungeons. Build your spell loadout with at least one AoE heal and one AoE damage spell to handle inflated pack sizes. Plague Touch and Circle of Mending become high-priority when Klepon is in the party — more so than in theoretical solo-target scenarios.

Pause combat when learning new dungeons to observe Klepon's pull patterns. Some room layouts trigger worse multi-aggro than others. The dungeon guides note rooms where Klepon's AI pathing causes predictable extra pulls so you can pre-cast Barrier of Light before entering.

When Bagel loses aggro to Klepon, Bagel's Shield Bash eventually recovers threat but Klepon takes free hits meanwhile. Guardian Ward on Klepon during threat swaps prevents deaths without wasting Bagel's healing budget on a member who should not be tanking.

Klepon Synergies and Farming

Klepon shines in incremental farming runs where faster multi-pack clears outweigh death risk. Stack Inspiration and Haste Prayer to maximize AoE kill speed. The Mischief passive loot bonus rewards letting Klepon finish enemies — a minor optimization for ruby farming sessions.

Skill tree nodes that reduce party damage taken help all members but especially Klepon during off-tank moments. Late-game Support nodes grant Klepon a passive that reduces extra-pull radius by 20%, the closest thing to fixing his AI without removing his character identity. Pair Klepon strategies with spell-casting queueing for rapid AoE heal responses after big pulls.

Community speedrun routes deliberately lean into Klepon's multi-pull behavior in low-risk early dungeons, clearing entire floors in one fight with Circle of Mending rotation and Plague Touch disease spread. This advanced technique cuts run time dramatically once your mana pool supports the burst healing demand.
