Their [[Eruption]] is a strong, [[smite-targeted]] attack which ignores [[EV]] and creates [[lava]] (blocking the player&#039;s retreat if they can&#039;t [[fly]]). [[Pyroclastic Surge]] can only be used if the player is on or adjacent to a lava tile. Also, they can [[weak]]en you (-25% melee damage) without using up their turn.<br /> <br /> {{monster spells}}<br /> <br /> ==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br /> *Try to avoid being near [[lava]]. When you&#039;re on/adjacent to lava, tyrants get a 2nd chance to cast a high-damage fire spell.&lt;ref&gt;{{source ref|0.30.1|mon-spell.h|1092}}&lt;br&gt;Monsters have a X/200 chance to cast a spell (if it would do anything) - that&#039;s 50/200 (25%) for Pyroclastic Surge, and 20/200 (10%) for Eruption. So, when near lava, tyrants are 3.5x as likely to cast either of the two spells. Eruption can still be used if you&#039;re surrounded by lava, and being unable to cast Pyroclastic Surge doesn&#039;t make the other spells more likely.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> **Unfortunately, Eruption can create lava around you. Since it has a chance to create lava for each &#039;&#039;empty&#039;&#039;, adjacent tile, standing in a hallway reduces the chance of lava being created. However, unless you are [[flying]], being in hallway increases your chance of getting trapped.<br /> *Having [[fire resistance]] will reduce their damage output significantly. Eruption ignores 50% of your fire resistance, though Pyroclastic Surge is affected normally by fire resistance.<br /> *Low-HP, high EV characters will find this enemy particularly lethal - but like most natural spellcasters, they are affected by [[Silence]] and [[waterlog]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> *Salamander tyrants were added in [[0.27]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;</div>
