Skavenslave

Skavenslaves are one of Enemies in Vermintide 2.

Description
The lowest of the low in the Skaven hierarchy, Skavenslaves perform the most menial and dangerous tasks, and constantly face the threat of being devoured by their kin. In battle, they are deployed without thought for survival, without armour and decent weaponry. Skaven are covetous creatures, and see little sense in wasting precious resource on such wretched, disposable beings.

Skavenslaves attack in great numbers, called to the fray by battle horn, or goaded into ambush of an unwary foe. They strike with desperation, as afraid of their masters’ whips as the bite of their enemies’ blades. Many a lone hero has perished to such wretches, dragged down by the frantic multitude.

Tips
Skavenslaves are the weakest enemies in the entire game, and die in a single hit from most weapons. To compensate for this, Skavenslaves always spawn in massive hordes comprised of dozens of Slaves, overwhelming their opponents. AOE attacks are extremely effective at thinning the horde, as are ranged weapons, as they can penetrate multiple Skavenslaves and wipe out large amounts of them. If surrounded, shoving the Skavenslaves works very well at creating space to breathe.
