'''Sojobo, Queen of Tengu''' is a [[unique]] [[list of tengu|tengu]] air elementalist who is always generated with a band of [[tengu reaver]]s. She's fairly durable, and even hitting her can be a challenge as she has significant [[ev]]asion and an innate [[Repel Missiles]] effect at all times. She carries a [[great sword]] (83%) or [[triple sword]] (17%); regardless of type, her blade has a high chance (66%) to carry the [[electrocution]] brand.

*Sojobo is a nasty opponent. Tengu reavers are nasty enemies. As such, taking on Sojobo ''and'' her band of reavers all at once is extremely reckless. Try to lure her allies away one by one, and only engage Sojobo when she's all alone. [[Swiftness]] and/or a [[potion of haste]] certainly help in getting away, as all tengu can fly slightly faster than the average character can run.

*Sojobo can deal dangerous amounts of damage quickly to the unprepared. [[Electricity]] resistance is very strongly recommended, as getting hit by a [[Lightning Bolt]] [[multizap]] can easily bring you to the brink of death, and there's no sense in tacking an additional 20 or so electricity damage on top of her already significant melee attacks.

:Even by herself, Sojobo is quite strong:
*It doesn't matter how supernaturally nimble an opponent is if your attacks can't miss. Barring enchanted armour, Sojobo's got no elemental resistances, so the unavoidable spells of any magic school should work just fine. Her [[willpower]] is high enough to be a problem for [[Hexes]], though.

:*Summon Air Elementals is very dangerous. Each air elemental casts [[Stunning Burst]], which can [[paralyse]] for a turn. It isn't great when Sojobo, the air elements, and any reavers get a free shot against you.
*Do not rely on [[stairs]] as a means of escape or for [[stair dancing]]; at any time, you can be forced off the stairs by her Wind Blast spell or by the swirling winds around an air elemental.

:*[[Electricity]] resistance is highly recommended. Getting hit by [[Lightning Bolt]] [[multizap]]s really racks up damage, and rElec gives you a chance to resist Stunning Burst's paralysis.

Tips & Tricks

  • Sojobo is a nasty opponent. Fighting 2-3 tengu reavers, by themselves, can quickly turn sour. Adding Sojobo and summoned air elementals to the mix only makes it that much worse. Try to lure her allies away one by one, and only engage Sojobo when she's all alone. Note that all tengu are faster than the average species, so Swiftness or haste is required to outrun them.
Even by herself, Sojobo is quite strong:
  • Summon Air Elementals is very dangerous. Each air elemental casts Stunning Burst, which can paralyse for a turn. It isn't great when Sojobo, the air elements, and any reavers get a free shot against you.
  • Electricity resistance is highly recommended. Getting hit by Lightning Bolt multizaps really racks up damage, and rElec gives you a chance to resist Stunning Burst's paralysis.
  • When Sojobo is around, don't depend on stairs for escape or stair dancing, since her Wind Blast can push you off.
  • The usual anti-spellcaster tools, such as Silence, phial of floods, or antimagic, work pretty well against her. But be careful, as Sojobo can deal a lot of damage with just her sword.
  • Anything that never misses can get past her high evasion. Spells like BVC and MCC ignore evasion entirely. Also, Yara's Violent Unravelling can dispel Repel Missiles, inflicting malmutate and forcing her to cast the spell again.
