Useful Info

Blue devils are weak flying tier-4 demons. The polar opposite of red devils, they are resistant to cold, but weak to fire. Blue devils have a swooping attack (range 4): this allows them to move past intervening creatures, land on the opposite side, and immediately perform a melee attack. They can often be found in Cocytus or in Ice caves.

Tips & Tricks

None needed, though when found in the Ice Cave, be on the lookout for powerful ice devils and ice fiends.

History

  • Blue devils were removed in 0.18. Their swoop mechanic was moved to hellwings.
  • Prior to 0.13, blue devils did not have a swoop attack.
