Useful Info

Sixfirhies are electricity-themed tier-4 demons. With a speed of 40 (which is treated as 66 for movement purposes), they are easily the fastest creatures in the game; fortunately, they tend to pass most of their actions, only moving in bursts of a few turns every now and then. All the same, they have surprisingly painful melee attacks which deal 7-9 additional electricity damage if you lack resistance. They can be found in the Abyss, Pandemonium, and the Hells, and some enemies may summon them with the Summon Demon spell.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don't use electricity against them, as it only causes them to regain HP. If you've got a powerful enough spell, though, you can use it on a sixfirhy to overload it and kill it instantly.
