The Statue of the Thief is one of the 10 statues found in the game.
The statue effect generates a wave that pulls enemies near the player, dealing 4 damage to affected enemies. Additionally, the user's movement speed is increased by 2.5 for 3 seconds.
The statue ability has a cool down of 3 seconds.
Strategies
Since it pulls enemy closer and accelerates the user, Statue of the Thief can be used for Hit-and-Run strategies with precisely timed burst attacks. Its damage is mostly negligible, however.
- Use it with the Alchemist to pull enemies into the player's poisonous gas.
- Use it with strong melee weapons with projectiles or area damage weapons to maximize damage.
- Use it with the Assassin to pull enemies together before attacking. The player can also use the speed boost to hunt down their next target.
- Use with Rogue to pull enemies together and hit them with one critical blow. Also for his skill and the statue's fast cool down, the player can use the skill as a speed boost to quickly run to a good position or simply flee away from enemies' bullets hell.
Trivia
- Prior to Update 1.3.x, the statue effect could give 1-2 coins for every enemies caught in the area of effect, regardless if they took damage or not.
- There was an exploit where the player could activate this statue's ability outside of a room to earn gold from nearby enemies. This could be done repeatedly to earn "infinite" coin.
- This feature was likely removed due to players abusing this exploit.
- Prior to Update 1.6.5, it did not apply the Speed Boost Status Effect to the user.
- Statue of the Thief is not named after any existing hero in-game, although given the appearance, it possibly corresponds to Rogue.
