Kovik, Splicer Priest

"What a mess. The High Priest wasn't looking to build a Hive slave army. He was just removing their body parts to be joined with SIVA."

- Ghost

Kovik, Splicer Priest is a Devil Splicer High Priest that led the invasion on a Hive nest deep within Bunker Triglav in the Plaguelands. He serves as the main boss of the Wretched Eye Strike.

Gameplay
Kovik is an aggressive foe who constantly pushes on the player's position. He is armed with a Wretched Gaze machine gun for heavy ranged combat. This weapon has a very fast rate of fire, as well as extremely high range, accuracy, and damage, allowing Kovik to easily suppress Guardians and melt their shields in an instant. On top of this, he can teleport vast distances by disappearing for a brief moment and then reappearing a few seconds later, and if faced up close, he will unleash an Arc Ultra Smash that will inflict massive damage and tremendous knockback or cause an outright death. However, despite his formidability, Kovik can momentarily be stunned by high-impact weaponry along with sustained fire, allowing the player an easier time finishing him off.
