Abilities

Magic

It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 99.1–100.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 90.1–100.0.

• Damage spells: Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning, Mind Blast, Energy Bolt, Explosion and Flame Strike.
• Other spells: about 1 cast in 8 is Poison (only if you aren't poisoned already). It may also Bless itself, curse you (Weaken, Clumsy, Feeblemind or Curse), drain your mana (Mana Drain or Mana Vampire) or Paralyze you.
• Healing: it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.
• Dispel: with 498+ Intelligence it can cast Dispel on your summoned creatures (more reliably the higher its Magery).

Life drain

When it hits or is hit in melee there's a 10% chance it drains everyone within 2 tiles: each loses 10–40 hit points and it heals by the same amount. Victims see "You feel the life drain out of you!"

Loot

Every succubus carries:

• Gold: about 804–1,300 in total (from its "Filthy Rich" ×2 loot)
• 2 magic scrolls from circles 4–7. With Necromancy enabled on New Bradford, necromancy scrolls can show up too.

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 8 chances, from about 33% down to 5% each)
• A musical instrument (about 4% or less)
• A level 5 treasure map (1% chance)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

• 1 raw ribs

Location

• Champion spawn: it is a level 4 creature of the Abyss champion spawn (champion: Semidar), so it appears at the fixed Abyss altar at 5815, 1352, and any of the 11 Lost Lands altars that rolls Abyss. Each one killed during a spawn gives the killer Valor and champion-title progress.

Tips

• Stay out of 2-tile range of her when you can; her life drain hits everyone near her and heals her.
• Her Magery of 99–100 means she casts the strongest damage spells, including Flamestrike.
