Useful Info
Kobold blastminers are ranged monsters armed with both an arbalest and a cannon. They can pelt you with bolts from afar, or if you get in range, fire a devasting Bombard. They appear in pairs, mostly in the Orcish Mines.

Tips & Tricks
- Try to stay far away, since Bombard is their stronger source of damage. Bombard is a range 4 spell, so stay 5 tiles away or more.
- Melee characters will find blastminers hard to deal with. Since Bombard knocks the caster backwards, it is hard to approach these monsters. Try to use ranged attacks if you have them.
- They have low willpower, so Hexes and hex wands can work well. A wand of polymorph deserves special mention, since it'll remove their arbalest and cannon at the same time. Their HD isn't amazing, either, so Mephitic Cloud can also do the trick.
History
- In 0.31, this monster will be added to the game.
