Variant Merfolk Aquamancer
You may encounter a merfolk gelid in certain vaults. These Ice Magic specialists will devastate unprepared adventurers with magic, but thankfully aren't much more durable than standard aquamancers. They usually come with freezing-branded polearms.
| An unnaturally pale merfolk, with condensation forming around its hands. |
Tips & Tricks
- Without cold resistance and steam resistance, aquamancers can be even worse than merfolk javelineers. Their ability to suddenly dump you in water is extremely dangerous if you're engaged in melee with other merfolk at the time.
- While you'll still take damage from Primal Wave, fighting them while flying means you won't have to stand around in shallow water after getting hit.
- Merfolk aquamancers often come with nice sabres, so Short Blade specialists should make sure they kill them someplace where their loot is accessible.
