Cloud immunity is an underwhelming ego except in [[the Swamp]], where it allows you to avoid the breaths of [[swamp drake]]s, [[swamp dragon]]s, [[ghost crab]]s and clouds associated with some Swamp:4 rune vaults as well. Generally it will act as a good substitute for [[poison resistance]] here. Having cloud immunity can also come in handy in the [[Volcano]], the [[Ice Cave]], the occasional vault that generates hazardous clouds, or if you plan on creating clouds in battle.

Cloud immunity is fairly niche overall. It allows you to use clouds like [[Freezing Cloud]] and the robe of Cloud's evokable thunderstorm without harming yourself, making them much easier to use. However, this should be weighed with other, alternate armour options, such as [[troll leather armour]] and [[swamp dragon scales]].

It completely protects its wearer from the effects of clouds.

Cloud immunity is an ego which protects the wearer from the effects of all clouds in the same way as Qazlal. It can only be found on the robe of Clouds.

Note that some cloud-generating breath weapons also inflict impact damage when they hit you (some of which may also come with status conditions); cloud immunity does not protect you from this damage. Examples of this include catoblepae's Petrifying Cloud, swamp dragons' Poisonous Cloud, and ushabtiu's Death Rattle.

Strategy

Cloud immunity is fairly niche overall. It allows you to use clouds like Freezing Cloud and the robe of Cloud's evokable thunderstorm without harming yourself, making them much easier to use. However, this should be weighed with other, alternate armour options, such as troll leather armour and swamp dragon scales.

Cloud immunity is especially useful in the Swamp, where the two main poison threats (swamp drakes and swamp dragons) only poison you through clouds, and ghost crabs also have a cloud attack. It may also be useful in the Volcano, the Ice Cave, or the occasional vault that generates hazardous clouds.
