==Tips & Tricks==
*Vv's elemental spells are highly dangerous and ignore EV, but can only be used in certain situations. Positioning is crucial:
**[[Creeping Frost]] can only be used against targets adjacent to walls.
**[[Eruption]] creates lava, and [[Pyroclastic Surge]] can only be used when you're near lava. While Eruption can be used anywhere, it is less likely to create lava in a cramped space (e.g. hallways). Since Pyroclastic Surge gives a 2nd chance for her to use a fire spell, try to avoid lava if possible.
:Thus, players with great [[cold resistance]] may want to stay near walls and hallways (giving a chance to avoid Pyroclastic Surge). Players with great fire resistance may want to stay away from walls (avoiding Creeping Frost). Being in melee assumes you have both resistances - and anyone but the most well-armoured characters will be devastated, anyway.
*She cannot [[see invisible]], so [[potions of invisibility]] are highly effective at avoiding her deadly spells.
*Like many constructs, she is vulnerable to [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]] and [[Shatter]].
*A [[scroll of vulnerability]] will greatly boost the success rates of [[Hexes]] and hex [[wand]]s. In particular, [[Anguish]] allows you to rebound her lethal spells for a very fast takedown. As usual, a [[wand of paralysis]] is great at taking down vulnerable enemies.

==History==
*Vv was introduced in [[0.29]].
