Polterguardian

Useful Info

Polterguardians are support casters, which give passive repel missiles to all allies in their line of sight. They appear in the Vaults as a part of vault warden and ironbound preserver bands, but sometimes they spawn with just 1-2 random monsters.

Tips & Tricks

• If you see a monster in the Vaults with the Repel Missiles effect, that means there's a polterguardian nearby.
• Polteguardians aren't much of a threat to melee characters, but Ranged Weapons users should take them out early so they have an easier time hitting other monsters. Casters should do the same if their main spells check EV (e.g. Bombard or Plasma Beam).
• Many AoE spells (e.g. Fireball, Ozocubu's Refrigeration, Irradiate) ignore EV and are not affected by Repel Missiles.

• In 0.32, polterguardians were added to the game.
