Useful Info
Spriggan druids are deadly spriggan spellcasters whose powers are dependent upon the forests which they guard. They can deal irresistible damage to you each turn you spend adjacent to a tree, blast you with irresistible Conjurations, and summon savage wildlife from elsewhere on the floor to come to their aid. On top of that, upon death, all animal-intelligence monsters able to see it fall are healed and buffed to deal more damage. They can be found in the Swamp, accompanying the Enchantress, or in spriggan-themed vaults, such as the occasional spriggan forest found on the last floor of Lair.
Spells
| Spell set I | ||
|---|---|---|
| Slot1 | Stone Arrow (3d18) | Wizard flag |
| Slot2 | Awaken Forest | Wizard flag |
| Slot3 | Druid's Call | Wizard flag |
| Slot4 | Minor Healing (2d5+3) | Emergency flag, Wizard flag |
Tips & Tricks
- Fighting a spriggan druid within its forest can prove fatal, as their Awaken Forest spell will cause you to take damage every turn you spend adjacent to a tree. If possible, lure them out and fight in a clearing, or burn the forest down first with powerful Fire Magic.
- Druid's Call immediately teleports several animals from elsewhere on the floor to the druid's aid. On deeper floors, this often includes death yaks and hydras. If possible, try to kill off the entire population of a floor before engaging a spriggan druid, strongly consider fighting them from a distance, and do not simply Tab combat them; you'll want to react to the reinforcements quickly.
- They're fragile enough that a heavy initial assault can take them out before they have time to summon allies. Try to take them out quickly to avoid complicating matters with reinforcements.
History
- Prior to 0.19, you could meet several young spriggan druids in the spriggan forest end vault. They had lower HD, but could cast the same spells as regular druids. They were replaced with boggarts.
- Prior to 0.14, spriggan druids knew Sunray and Haste Plants in place of Stone Arrow, and they did not buff nearby animals upon death.
- Prior to 0.13, they had Summon Caniforms in place of Druid's Call and Haste Plants.
- Spriggan druids were added in 0.7.
