Tips & Tricks
- The developer sorear once killed one in the Arena with 99 daevas. Being completely surrounded by a horde of creatures prevented the test spawner from summoning, at which point the daeva army just gradually wore it down with irresistible smiting attacks.
- Test spawners aren't immune to instakill attacks. The Axe of Woe does the trick, as will Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling, Uskayaw's Grand Finale, etc.
- If you want 2 test spawners to fight each other in the Arena, try using arena:small. You may need to spawn multiple test spawners so that they are actually in LOS of each other.
