Useful Info
Smoke demons are slow tier-3 demons with dangerous ranged abilities. They are found in the Abyss, Pandemonium, and the Hells, and they are often summoned by other monsters through the Summon Demon spell.
Spells: Sticky Flame (3d4, range 5), Steam Ball (3d12), and Smite (1d11+6)
Tips & Tricks
- Although almost any character can outrun them, smoke demons are dangerous nuisances that will peg you with attacks as long as they're in your line of sight. Their Sticky Flame can deal heavy fire damage when you're within 5 tiles of them, and their Smite deals irresistible, unavoidable damage. You can use the clouds of steam created by their Steam Balls to give yourself some cover, fortunately.
- They have excellent resistance to fire damage and immunity to poison and negative energy, but otherwise their defenses are poor and they only have average HP.
- Conservation or mottled dragon armour will help protect your scrolls from immolation.
