Tips & Tricks
- Despite being weak "on average", do not take Killer Klowns lightly! Silence and -Potion prevent you from using most of your emergency escape options. And being a bad form means losing all of your equipment, almost a death sentence in Zot:5. Always try to fight them alone; you don't want to get turned to a pig next to an orb of fire.
- Repulsion, shields, and/or high EV can help prevent you from getting hit by Throw Klown Pie.
- They have excellent willpower, but lack any elemental resistances, so it's not too hard to pile up damage. Try to blast them at range before they can reach you. They are weak to silver, so silver javelins are very effective.
Trivia
Killer Klowns were originally murderous extraterrestrial pranksters in the 1988 Academy Award® winning comedy horror sci-fi film, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
History
- The ability to throw pies was added in 0.23. Prior to that, Killer Klowns were unarmed and used a special Klown attack flavor that could choose randomly between Fire, Cold, Electricity, Strong poison, Drain speed, Pain, or Antimagic. Also, they had fast regeneration.
- Prior to 0.14 Klowns had a different set of damage brands for their melee attack: fire, cold, nasty poison, drain XP, rot, blink, anti-magic.
