An illusioner is a powerful illager that can be found within the various missions of Minecraft Dungeons.

Spawning

• End Wilds (Adventure)
• Broken Citadel (Adventure)
• Daily Trial
• Tower

Behavior

Illusioners have four different behaviors.

Blinding Illusioners cast ten seconds of blindness on the hero. While blinded, attacks have a 50% chance to miss and they emit a black mist over their head.

Bow action Real illusioners shoot blue with black stripe explosive arrows (similar to the fireworks arrow) that deal much more damage than the arrows shot by the duplicates.

Teleport Real illusioners use a random attack after teleporting, before teleporting again to create more clones.

Illusion An illusioner turns into a white particle, and then splits into several pieces and spreads to the surroundings. These particles are mixed with the real illusioner. After a few seconds, the particles transform back into the real illusioner or its clones to surround the hero before resuming battle.

An illusioner clone is an illusion cast by illusioners that disappear into smoke upon being attacked, but fire arrows at heroes.

Behavior

Illusioner clones can be defeated separately, unlike the original game. If there is no hero nearby when this ability is used, illusioners and their clones do not appear until a hero gets close. When real illusioners are attacked or when a certain amount of time passes, all of the clones disappear into purple smoke and new ones appear shortly thereafter.

Bow action clone Illusioner clones constantly fire arrows at the hero, dealing a small amount of damage upon impact. A clone holds a bow with the right hand, while the real illusioner holds it with the left hand.

An illusioner arrow is an projectile that is used by illusioners within the various missions of Minecraft Dungeons.

Behavior

Illusioner arrows act much like firework arrows and explode on impact. Only the original Illusioners can fire these arrows, while illusioner clones fire normal arrows.

Sounds

Illusioners use the evoker boss soundtrack.

Trivia

• Illusioners are derived from their unimplemented counterparts, but they have a completely different appearance.
• Illusioners and illusioner clones have different sounds. A real illusioner's defeat sound is distorted and slowed.
• When a real illusioner is defeated, the music stops and plays a ghost screaming with death sounds, which resembles an evoker's defeat scream, but at a higher pitch.
• The animation files and textures of evokers and vindicators are perfectly compatible with the skeleton mesh model of illusioners.
• The 2nd sound for the blindness attack for the illusioners is labeled as "Prepare Mirror" in the game files.
