Insubstantial wisp
Useful Info
Insubstantial wisps are very irritating monsters, even worse than early imps. They have high EV, blink constantly, and resist nearly everything. To make matters worse, they are encountered in packs and can be dangerous if they surround you. Wisps are found in the Dungeon, The Swamp, and the Abyss.
Wisp Form is a bad form that is similar to the monster.
Script error
Tips & Tricks
- Melee characters can eventually take them out with standard attack strategies, and heavy armour combined with electricity resistance greatly reduces the threat they pose. It just requires more patience than usual.
- Spellcasters should try to use Earth Magic and non-elemental Conjurations, such as Magic Dart, Iskenderun's Mystic Blast, or the highly effective and 100% accurate Airstrike. Hailstorm will also partially work (and can strike multiple wisps at once). High-level elemental spells can take them out with repeated use, but lesser elemental spells will take too long to be practical.
