Useful Info

Tips & Tricks

• Their bolts can kill off even rather beefy mid-game characters in two or three solid hits and make quick work of fragile casters. Hit them as hard and as fast as you can.
• They are especially dangerous when hexers are around, as their bolts will make you more vulnerable to hexes.
• If you can't blast it at range, use a corner to lure it into melee range to avoid getting shot while charging in.

History

• Prior to 0.31, eyes of devastation had Energy Bolt instead of Bolt of Devastation, which did not cut willpower in half.
• Prior to 0.20, their Energy Bolts could destroy walls.
