*Sojobo is a nasty opponent. Tengu reavers are nasty enemies. Taking on Sojobo ''and'' his band of reavers all at once is extremely reckless. Use whatever resources you need to to lure his allies away one by one, and only engage Sojobo when he's all alone. [[Swiftness]] or [[Haste]] certainly help in getting away, as these guys are all slightly faster than average.

*Sojobo's band can be nasty. Fighting 2-3 tengu reavers, by themselves, can quickly turn sour. Adding Sojobo and summoned [[air elemental]]s to the mix only makes it ''that'' much worse. Try to lure her allies away one by one, and only engage Sojobo when she's all alone. Note that all tengu are faster than the average species, so [[Swiftness]] or [[haste]] is required to outrun them.

*Sojobo can deal dangerous amounts of damage quickly to the unprepared. [[Electricity]] resistance is very strongly recommended, as getting hit by a [[Lightning Bolt]] [[multizap]] can easily bring you to the brink of death, and there's no sense in tacking an additional 20 or so damage on top of his already significant melee attacks. Likewise, [[flying]] characters should probably stay earthbound for this fight, as an empowered [[Airstrike]] can hurt.

:Even by herself, Sojobo is quite strong:

*It doesn't matter how supernaturally nimble an opponent is if your attacks can't miss. He's got no elemental resistances, so the unavoidable spells of any magic school should work just fine. His [[magic resistance]] is high enough to be a problem though...

She's fairly durable, has significant evasion, an innate Repel Missiles effect, and can summon paralysing air elementals to her aid.

Tips & Tricks

  • Sojobo's band can be nasty. Fighting 2-3 tengu reavers, by themselves, can quickly turn sour. Adding Sojobo and summoned air elementals to the mix only makes it that much worse. Try to lure her allies away one by one, and only engage Sojobo when she's all alone. Note that all tengu are faster than the average species, so Swiftness or haste is required to outrun them.
Even by herself, Sojobo is quite strong:
  • Air elementals are very dangerous. Each air elemental is an extremely fast enemy that casts Stunning Burst, which can paralyse for a turn. It isn't great when Sojobo, the air elementals, and any reavers get a free shot against you.
  • Electricity resistance is highly recommended. Getting hit by Lightning Bolt multizaps really racks up damage, and rElec gives you a chance to resist Stunning Burst's paralysis.
  • When Sojobo is around, don't depend on stairs for escape or stair dancing, since her Wind Blast can push you off.
  • The usual anti-spellcaster tools, such as Silence, phial of floods, or antimagic, work pretty well against her. But be careful, as Sojobo can deal a lot of damage with just her sword.
  • Anything that never misses can get past her high evasion. Spells like BVC and MCC ignore evasion entirely. Also, Yara's Violent Unravelling can dispel Repel Missiles, inflicting malmutate and removing the status until she uses a turn to cast Repel Missiles again.

History

  • Prior to 0.27, Sojobo was resistant to Tornado and Vortex. Also, air elementals cast Vortex instead of Stunning Burst.
  • Prior to 0.25, Sojobo had less EV (22 EV instead of 24 EV), but had the stronger Deflect Missiles instead of Repel Missiles.
  • In 0.22, Sojobo's wind resistance was replaced with Tornado resistance.
  • Sojobo was added in 0.13.
