Tips & Tricks
- Tormentors are fast monsters which can halve your HP every turn. Not a big threat by themselves, but when near other monsters, make sure to finish them quickly.
- Tormentors can't see invisible. While being invisible won't stop them from ever casting Symbol of Torment, it greatly reduces the frequency. Note that if the tormentor can see an ally that's vulnerable to torment, the fact that you are invisible doesn't do anything.
- They have moderate willpower, so status wands can work well. A scroll of fear can scare them off with some reliability.
- If summoned by a torment vulnerable monster (e.g. deep elf demonologists), they'll be much more hesitant to use Symbol of Torment.
- As always, life protection (rN+) helps take the sting out of Torment significantly (5% reduction per rank). See the torment page for other means of reducing torment damage.
