Tips & Tricks

  • Their attacks are weak enough that most characters can survive charging in and smashing a single one, but electricity resistance wouldn't hurt (and is very highly recommended if you intend to charge a pack of them).
  • Ranged fighters can handle them easily by shooting them to death from outside their range. Fire as soon as they enter your line of sight.
  • You can summon your own friendly lightning spires with the Summon Lightning Spire spell.
