Attack Method

In Minecraft, an illusioner has 3 different attack styles – attack with a bow/arrow, cast Blindness, or cast Duplication.

1. Attack with Bow and Arrow – The first attack is a traditional attack that involves a bow and arrow. Because an illusioner is equipped with a bow hidden in its robe, an illusioner can shoot arrows at you from a distance making it tougher to kill.

2. Cast Blindness – The second attack is a magic attack. With this attack, the illusioner will run away and hold up its arms while it casts magic. You will see purple particles rise from its hands and then the illusioner will cast theÂ Blindness effectÂ on its opponent for 20 seconds.

3. Cast Duplication – The third attack is also a magic attack. With this attack, the illusioner will again run away and hold up its arms while it casts magic. You will see purple particles rise from its hands and then the illusioner will cast a spell that makes the illusioner invisible and then summons duplicates of itself.

Drops

When you kill an illusioner in Minecraft, it may drop one or more of the following items: aÂ bow.
