Mistfall Hunter Blackplume Priest: Tier, Stats & Moves

The Blackplume Priest is the lightest enemy with its own page on this site, and the one the databases agree on least. Four sources give it three different tiers. The collected data is good on its numbers and its awareness profile, has three of its eight moves, and says nothing about where it spawns.

Is the Blackplume Priest an elite?

Each source answers differently, and this page keeps all four answers. WikiTactics tags it “Mini Elite”. GamerGuides files it under Minor Elites, which it describes as stronger than Normal enemies and often found guarding chests in Enriched Resource Zones. MistfallDB lists it in its Elites band, above the common pack. mistfallhunter.guide alone calls it “a normal mobile enemy” with Tier: Normal.

The numbers suggest why. Its 924 health ceiling is below the Foul Hound Alpha’s 1,108, the lightest elite on the all bosses hub, so it sits at the boundary where one database’s “mini elite” is another’s “normal”. No source calls it a boss.

Where can the Blackplume Priest spawn?

Nowhere specific, as far as the collected material goes. The extracted WikiTactics page has no Locations section, which is unusual for that site, and neither MistfallDB nor mistfallhunter.guide names an area. The only placement is GamerGuides’ tier-level sentence about Minor Elites guarding chests in Enriched Resource Zones, which describes the tier rather than this enemy. The map guide covers those zones in general.

What are the Blackplume Priest’s stats?

WikiTactics exposes the full mode table, and its ends match MistfallDB’s span of 385 to 924 health and 158 to 283 attack. Defense is 705 in every row.

Mode and party	Health	Attack	Defense	Toughness	XP
Hallowgrove Normal, Solo, New Player 1	346	142	705	180	34
Normal, Solo (Hallowgrove or Brandrgarde)	385	158	705	270	34
Normal, Trio (Hallowgrove or Brandrgarde)	655	158	705	382	12
Hallowgrove Chaos, Solo	494	227	705	270	46
Hallowgrove Chaos, Trio	840	227	705	382	16
Brandrgarde Cataclysm, Solo	543	283	705	270	46
Brandrgarde Cataclysm, Trio	924	283	705	382	16

mistfallhunter.guide adds an awareness and behaviour profile: a 50% block rate, 8 attack moves, 2 counterattacks, 8 on-hit reactions, 2 provokes, sight range 1,040, a 70° vision cone, hearing range 350, engage range 800, max chase 1,500 and a 99-second max chase time. It lists chase speed as 370 in its own units, where WikiTactics gives 3.7 m/s; the two agree once the unit is read as centimetres per second, but neither site states that.

What attacks does the Blackplume Priest use?

MistfallDB and mistfallhunter.guide both count 8 attack moves. WikiTactics’ extracted table shows only three rows, so it is incomplete. Special attack 4 is a single Impact 2 hit at 2-5 m on a 5-second cooldown. Special attack 9 lands two Impact 2 hits within 4 m on an 8-second cooldown, and the same move appears again as a Counter, which matches the two counterattacks mistfallhunter.guide counts. Every hit is guard-breaking.

With five moves missing and no damage values, the table cannot support dodge advice. The boss fight guide covers general preparation.

What does the Blackplume Priest drop?

WikiTactics assigns it to the Mini-Elite Enemy Drop Table, a pool of 123 item chances, the same pool as the Foul Hound Alpha. GamerGuides’ remark about guarding chests concerns the chest, not the Priest’s own drops. No unique item or guaranteed rarity is established.
