Behavior and Mechanics

Enrage
The Sharken's self-buffing ability when active:

  • Last for 5 seconds and occurs every 10 seconds. (5s buffed period, then another 5s of no buff period and repeat.)
  • Damage Resistance increased to 75% and Attack Damage increased by 50%.
  • Increased attack speed and movement speed.

Melee Swipes

  • The Sharken's basic melee attack. It will randomly use either the left or right claw to attack its target.
  • Each attack will occur at a rate of about every one second after a swipe.

Double Hammerfists Slam

  • The Sharken slams both fists into the ground creating a small damaging AoE shockwave.
  • This attack only has a chance to occur when a Sharken has been aggroed by a nearby hero.

Miniboss Variant - Sharken Warlord

The Sharken Warlord is an Onslaught-exclusive miniboss version of the Sharken. It usually only spawns during the later pulses of a Sharknado lane.

  • It has a significantly higher health pool than that of a regular Sharken.
  • However, the miniboss doesn't have any base resistance and during enrage, it only takes half damage. This means that the Sharken Warlord will take twice as much damage compared to a regular Sharken.

Strategy

Sharkens shouldn't be too much of a problem if your defenses are strong enough. However in the event where that isn't the case, blockades and hero DPS interventions might be needed.

It's recommended for a melee hero to be very tanky before engaging with Sharkens as their hammerfists slams can be extremely deadly especially when there's a group of them clustered together.

Trivia - Dungeon Defenders 1

Sharkens originally appeared in DD1, introduced within the map of Aquanos as a new enemy type from the Quest for the Lost Eternia Shards DLCs storyline. Over there, the Sharken's design is based on a great white shark and they have the ability to charge towards a targeted clump of defenses and push them out of position.

This makes DD2's iteration a radical departure from their predecessor.
