Useful Info
Sojobo, Queen of Tengu is a unique tengu air elementalist who is always generated with a band of tengu reavers. She's fairly durable, has significant evasion, an innate Repel Missiles effect, and can summon paralysing air elementals to her aid. She carries a great sword (83%) or triple sword (17%); regardless of type, it has a high chance (66%) to carry the electrocution brand.

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.
History
- Prior to 0.27, Sojobo was resistant to Tornado and Vortex. Also, air elementals cast Vortex instead of Stunning Burst.
- Prior to 0.25, Sojobo had less 2 EV, but had the stronger Deflect Missiles instead of Repel Missiles.
- In 0.22, Sojobo's wind resistance was replaced with Tornado resistance.
- Sojobo was added in 0.13.
