Tips & Tricks

  • They are slow, so it is easy to retreat if you can't fight one yet.
  • They are vulnerable to poison, so kiting one around while throwing poisoned darts at a distance is a good way to avoid ever getting hit.
  • Moving around will end the fire more quickly.
  • Bombardier beetles' Pyre Arrow is a natural ability, so you can't use silence to prevent them from casting.

History

  • Bombardier beetles were added in 0.31.
