Useful Info
Spark wasps are fast, flying tiny insects with an especially nasty electrocution sting and the blinkbolt spell at range. Sparkies are the insect equivalent of raijus. They are thankfully rare, only occasionally appearing in the Spider's Nest, and the Swamp.
Tips & Tricks
- Alternatively, their terrible magic resistance makes it easy to affect them with Hexes or status effect-inflicting wands.
- Spark wasps are susceptible to poison, so Mephitic Cloud is your friend, and poison needles will deal damage to them quickly.
History
- Sparks wasps were introduced in 0.18.
