| Conjures a cannonade of hail. The eye of the storm is wide enough that monsters adjacent to the caster are unaffected. Due to the strong impact and cutting edges a significant portion of its damage bypasses cold resistance. |
Hailstorm is a Level 4 Conjurations/Ice Magic spell that drops hail on all tiles that are 2-3 spaces away from the caster (marked with 'x'):
......... .xxxxxxx. .xxxxxxx. .xx...xx. .xx.@.xx. .xx...xx. .xxxxxxx. .xxxxxxx. .........
This spell deals up to 3d20 damage at max spellpower, making it an excellent unavoidable direct damage spell, if you can adapt to its awkward range. While it deals cold damage, it is only 40% resistible.
Strategy
- Has excellent synergy with Frozen Ramparts and Ozocubu's Armor
- If the opportunity presents itself, allowing weaker enemies to stand next to you will force stronger ones to stand helplessly 2-3 tiles away. (Be warned, some pack creatures can force their way to the front).
History
- Prior to 0.27, Hailstorm didn't affect creatures made entirely out of ice - ice beasts, ice statues, and simulacra.
- Hailstorm was added in 0.25.
