Coin Mimic
The chest was hungry. Kill it and it pays out.
The Coin Mimic is the elite of The Gilt Cellars: the last fight of floor 5, and of floor 9 half the time. It is also what a chest turns out to be one time in four, on any floor, alone and at that floor's strength.
Its moves
It works through these in order, then starts again: 
Guard 
Heavy 
Attack. It begins a fight at a random point in the cycle, and its next move always shows above it.
| Move | What it does | Floor 5 | Floor 9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guard | Raises armor. | 16 | 57 |
| Heavy | A crushing blow: three quarters of it gets past armor unless you GUARD. | 16 | 50 |
| Attack | Strikes you. | 8 | 25 |
Traits
- Heavily armored. It carries far more armor than most enemies of its floor. Pierce, arcana and anything that ignores armor get past it.
Numbers by floor
Every enemy is a multiple of the floor's standard enemy (health x2.4, attack x1.3, armor x4), and each one's health varies by up to 8% either way.
| Floor 5 | Floor 9 | |
|---|---|---|
| Health | 83 | 319 |
| Armor | 12 | 37 |
| Attack | 8 | 25 |
| Heavy | 16 | 50 |
Gold  | 8 | 17 |
Gold includes the 10% more every kill pays while the depth's Tally is posted (a guided first depth has none), and is before gold find. From turn 11 of any fight every enemy grows 15% stronger each turn.
What it leaves
Three times a normal enemy's gold, 1 gem, and always a piece of gear: a rarity above the floor's usual, with an etching of the depth's tier. 5% of the time it is a unique.
