*Unless they just happen to generate very early on (pre-[[Lair]]), tengu warriors are not major threats. They themselves are about on par with [[orc knight]]s in terms of threat level. Characters with poor defenses should avoid engaging them in melee; their multiple attacks are individually weaker than those of an [[orc warrior]], but can add up quickly if you aren't dodging or avoiding many of them. If possible you should compensate for their decent [[ev]]asion with unavoidable attacks.

Useful Info

Tengu warriors are aggressive tengu combatants, with multiple melee attacks. They move faster than average, and come with decent armour and weapons. They can be found in the late Dungeon and early Depths.

Tips & Tricks

  • Tengu warriors are fast, but not especially strong if you've cleared out the Lair. Their max damage is around the same of an orc warlords', but spread over multiple attacks, and tengu don't have the same durability.
  • Tengu warriors often generate with ego bucklers or kite shields.

History

  • In 0.31, tengu warriors will lose fast movement, but gain AF_FLANK. When attacking in melee, AF_FLANK causes the tengu warrior to move behind the target.
  • Tengu warriors were often accompanied with a band of ravens prior to their removal in 0.17.
  • Tengu warriors were added in 0.13, but were disabled due to the eventual scrapping of the Forest. They were reintroduced in 0.14, showing up with bands of tengu in the Depths, and started appearing with bands of ravens in 0.15.
