Although this is less unpredictable than a chaos branded attack, it still leaves you uncertain of what to expect.
Ability: Blink
Tips & Tricks
- They have excellent magic resistance, but lack any elemental resistances, so it's not too hard to pile up the damage on them. Try to blast them at range before they can reach you.
- If you aren't ready for it, their most dangerous attack flavour by far is cold. While rF+, rElec, rN+, and rPois are also highly recommended, facing them without at least rC+ is a gamble you should try to avoid.
- Their constant blinking works against them if you have decent ranged attacks and a clear, open area to fight in. Use the time they spend running back into melee range with you to whittle away at their health from afar.
Trivia
Killer Klowns were originally murderous extraterrestrial pranksters in the 1988 Academy Award® winning comedy horror sci-fi film, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
History
Prior to 0.14 Klowns had a different set of damage brands for their melee attack: fire, cold, nasty poison, drain XP, rot, blink, anti-magic.
