I want know this,thanks

in poe2,There is an elite monster in the abyss that can blink and is shrouded in a mist. It can instantly teleport in front of the player, and once close, it will continuously cause health loss. I don't know this monster's affixes or damage type. Could you please tell me how to resist or reduce its damage

That's probably what it is.

The Abyssal monster modifier is "Shade Walker" and it has a chance to appear when you suck a rare mob into the cracks that has the Shroud Walker modifier, so if you're doing Abyss, and you kill a rare near the Abyss that has this mod - be prepared to see a ShadeWalker.

It does physical damage over time and prevents recovery so the only way to mitigate the degen is with flat reduced physical damage reduction - like the affix you see on armour-based shields, or from Warbringer's "Jade Heritage" ascendancy node - or from sources of physical damage taken as another type of damage, which you then mitigate through other means.

For example, if you take 15% of physical damage as elemental damage, like you might if you've taken the Shaman ascendancy node that grants this, you would then take 15% of that physical degen as elemental, which would be mitigated by elemental resistances, since resistances apply to both damage over time as well as hits.

If you have trouble with this monster, you can always try to time the teleport with a dodge roll, so that the monster teleports, spawns the pool, but since you immediately dodge away, the monster chases you and you have a few moments to fight in melee range without worrying about the degen, until you have to dodge roll again to repeat the process.
