Tips[]
Avalanche zap
- When upgraded, the area-of-effect of this wand grows, making it very difficult to use without getting caught in the rock slide.
- Do not use the wand in an enclosed small room. Fire as far from enemies as possible (or always from outside the area-of-effect, at least 3-4 tiles from impact point).
- The only time it's relatively 'safe' to be Paralyzed is when the Hero is already Starving.
(The debuff 'ends sooner' when starving, and 'lasts longer' when satiated.) - If needing to fire from within the area-of-effect, make sure to drink a Potion of Purification immediately beforehand, to avoid the Paralyzed debuff. (This doesn't, however, protect the Hero from damage.)
- The Huntress can paralyze an enemy from afar, and then finish it off with her boomerang.
Damage details[]
The damage from this wand is dependent on the target's distance from point of impact and the wand's level.
Enemies further away from the impact point take fewer damage and are less likely to be paralyzed. Increasing the level of the wand increases the size of the blast (area-of-effect), but does not increase the chance of inflicting paralysis.
- Damage is from 2 to
6+(size-d)*2- Where d is distance from impact point and size =
1+floor(wandLevel/3) - Minimum damage remains constant at 2 regardless of level.
- Where d is distance from impact point and size =
- Paralysis:
- Chance of inflicting paralysis is
1/(3+d)where d is distance from the impact point.
This means you have a 1/3 (33%) chance of paralyzing enemies that are standing beside a targeted solid tile. (The passable tile the beam traveled over last is considered d=0.) - Duration of paralysis is a random 2-6 turns and not increased by wand level.
- Chance of inflicting paralysis is
