 *Wiglaf will always cast Hellfire Mortar off to the side of you, rather than trying to block your path.
 *The mortar otherwise fires a [[Bolt of Magma]] at two different targets every turn if possible, which has a limited range of 4 and can be partially resisted with fire resistance. While each blast is somewhat low damage for its depth, it will consistently stack up meaningful damage each turn it's present unless you have reasonable defences or multiple pips of fire resistance.
 *Wiglaf's melee damage is still notable for his depth when combined with Might plus his axe or mace, so it's still important to try and soften him up from a distance.
 *Many characters may want to avoid Wiglaf in his earlier appearances, but his randart hat is frequently a strong drop for most characters, so spending piety and consumables to get the hat may be worth it.

-*Wiglaf will always cast Hellfire Mortar off to the side of you, rather than trying to block your path. If you have [[flight]] - whether as a swap or by drinking a [[potion of enlightenment]] - and can thus travel over the mortar's lava river, you can move in front of the mortar and sink it to prevent it from constantly firing on you. In particular, when in melee range, walking backwards one tile onto its new path will prevent it from firing at all. This is far less plausible to block when out in the open walking towards Wiglaf, but it's still worth considering when closer up.
+*Wiglaf can't stand on lava. [[Confusion]] (whether from [[Mephitic Cloud]], [[Alistair's Intoxication]], [[Fedhas]]' ballistomycetes) can cause him to fall in lava and instantly die.
-*Flying allies may also block and sink the mortar in the same way, such as from [[Death Channel]] and [[Haunt]].

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Wiglaf the Gunnerdwarf''' is a [[unique]] [[mountain dwarf]] fighter with a [[randart]] hat guaranteed to be between +2 and +4 (and guaranteed to resemble the one on his tile). From a distance, he'll craft terrifying [[Hellfire Mortar]]s, and in melee, he'll cast [[Might]] and hit reasonably hard alongside his cannons.He alternates between games with [[Joseph]], who stole and ruined his hat.
