Willowisp

Willowisps are Undead.

These floating, semi-ethereal monsters are widely dreaded for their potent lightning bolt attack. Willowisps are transparent, and can be hard to see when they move between attacks. Though they have a mana draining melee attack, it's best to take them on at close range, since their lightning bolts do much more damage and are not used in close.

Willowisps were extremely dangerous in v1.10, since an error in the programming made their lightning bolts hit many times at once. They're less deadly in v1.11, with that bug fixed.

• All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Statistics

Normal willowisps can not drop any type of armor or weapons, though they will drop potions and sometimes runes. Champions, bosses and their minions will drop items, and the Treasure Classes for them are given below.

• The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
  • TC Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher group.
  • The max TC/Rune possible may depend on which level a monster spawns in, and can be lower than the maximum. See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Offense

Willowisp lightning attacks are extremely dangerous since each bolt can land multiple hits. A bug causing massive stacking of these hits was fixed in v1.11, making the spell somewhat less deadly.

Type	Melee Attack #1	Stamina Drain	Attack Rating #1	Lightning Attack
Gloam	5-21 / 18-47 / 40-104	40% chance of: 1-8 / 41-82 / 182-273	197 / 1188 / 3861	1-8 / 41-82 / 182-273
Burning Soul	6-26 / 21-54 / 42-108	80% chance of: 2-11 / 47-94 / 188-282	246 / 1317 / 3998	2-11 / 47-94 / 188-282

Defenses

Willowisps can not be life or mana leeched. They can not be chilled or frozen on Hell difficulty.

• Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
• Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Type	Defense	Blocking	Drain Effectiveness	Chill Effectiveness
Gloam	107 / 800 / 1797	21%	0 / 0 / 0	50 / 33 / 0
Burning Soul	131 / 883 / 1858	26%	0 / 0 / 0	50 / 33 / 0

Resistances

• Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
• Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
