Useful Info

Silver statues are stationary monsters that attack by summoning 3, 4 and 5 demons when you enter their LOS. They are highly resistant to most forms of attack, but can be instantly and reliably dispatched with a single zap of a wand of disintegration, the spell Shatter, or Lee's Rapid Deconstruction. Their ability to summon demons is not a spell, but rather a special effect for each turn the statue can see you (33% chance of nothing, 33% chance of a 5, 33% chance of a 3 or 4); furthermore, these summons are always placed close to their targets. Silence has no impact on this ability.

Tips & Tricks

History

In 0.15, silver statues are immune to wands of disintegration. Their summoning is also through a regular monster summon set rather than the special effect, which most notably makes the summons place by the statue rather than any targets.

Prior to the demon overhauls in 0.9, silver statues had access to a significantly more disparate and dangerous set, including hellions and tormentors.
