Useful Info

Spriggan air mages are spriggan spell casters who have mastered various forms of Air Magic. They have some moderately powerful electricity damage spells, as well as a decent Airstrike, making them dangerous to characters without electricity resistance or who are flying. They are also notable for having a permanent Deflect Missiles enchantment in effect naturally, protecting them from most ranged attacks, and for their ability to negate cloud attacks and buff the accuracy of all ranged attacks by nearby allies. They can be found in the bands of spriggans roaming the Depths and in certain vaults, as well as accompanying the Enchantress.

Tips & Tricks

• Remember to keep a nice open area or a metal wall behind you to avoid suffering a multizap.
• If you aren't a melee fighter, try using unavoidable magic to take them down. Fireball, Freezing Cloud, Poisonous Cloud, or your own Airstrike will all suffice.

History

Prior to 0.13, spriggan air mages knew Haste and Swiftness in place of Control Winds.

In 0.14, they have Haste (replacing Shock).
