Useful Info
Creates a boulder in a chosen adjacent tile. You cannot cast this spell on a monster. This boulder rolls in a straight line, but every turn, it has a 20% chance to wobble in either direction (10% to the left, 10% to the right).
Whenever the boulder collides with a monster, it takes damage and is knocked back. If there are other monsters behind the victim, all the monsters are pushed back in a chain. If a monster is pushed into a wall or impassible terrain (e.g. deep water, lava), it takes extra knockback damage. Then, the boulder itself takes 2d5 damage.
If the boulder hits a wall, it is destroyed and explodes in a 3x3 area. This deals the same damage as a boulder impact, but is reduced thrice by AC.
The boulder is treated as a monster and can be destroyed by attacks. It moves at speed 20 and has base HP of 27 (which is randomized like other monsters, does not depend on power). It disappears after it leaves your line of sight.
Strategy
- While its damage is lower than Stone Arrow, the boulder can hit multiple enemies, and potentially hit the same enemy multiple times. It can also be used to kite.
History
- This spell will be introduced in 0.31.
