Useful Info

Snaplasher vines are common forest plants which have been called into aggressive life by an enemy dryad. These vines will emerge from nearby tree tiles, stretch out to the player, and grab him, dealing minor damage and dragging him toward the trees it originates from. Up to three snaplasher vines can be summoned by a dryad at any time; they are worth no experience and immediately die as soon as their summoner is killed.

Tips & Tricks

  • Killing them is generally a waste of time; take out the dryad to clear out all the vines at once.
  • The dryad will usually cast Awaken Forest early on in a fight. Try not to let the vines drag you to a tile adjacent to an awakened tree or you'll start taking significant damage.
  • Avoid Tabbing your way through combat when facing these things. You'll usually wind up chopping at the vines rather than the dryad, and it's easy for a player who's automating combat to not notice that he's getting smacked around by the nearby trees.

History

Snaplasher vines will be added in 0.13
