Radroach

Useful Info

Radroaches are dangerous denizens of the Spider's Nest. Their Irradiate spell, similar to the player, inflicts heavy magical contamination and damage to any foe that enters melee range.

Tips & Tricks

• While radroaches are fairly bulky, softening it up with any sort of ranged attack is always preferable. They are weak to silver, and curare can let you kite them for a bit.
• Radroaches are generally unwilling to Irradiate its own allies. It'll blast through trivial enemies like regular worms, but even a single redback adjacent to the radroach will heavily discourage the spell from being used.
• A potion of cancellation will remove contamination.
