Description
Strider is the name given to all Moa Birds (from Post-Searing Ascalon) in Pre-Searing Ascalon. They can be found in the fields outside of Ashford Village and near the gates of Ascalon City in Pre-Searing Ascalon. Contary to the information on the Prima Guide and copied by many other fansites, they do slashing damage just like regular Moa Birds, as opposed to Piercing damage. They are sizeably bigger than the normal Post-Searing Moa Birds.
Locations
Notes
If you attack the Striders near the location of the Beautiful Feather in Pre-Searing Ascalon outside of the Ashford Abbey and kill them, one or more aggresive Striders will appear and attack you. This is believed to be an allusion to the killing of Cuccos in the Legend of Zelda games. (This has since been patched) These can also prove to be very useful in some cases when attempting to aquire the "Legendary Protector Of Ascalon" title. This is done my simply power leveling the Strider yourself. This can only be done outside of the Barradin Estate, as it's the only place a Strider spawns next to a revive shrine. Depending on how high level you are, you can get it to level 20. I know that if you power level it was level 11 it can get to around 14 before it stops getting experience. These are good for the Char as their armour level increases in the same way as Heroes do.
