What it does
A pack hops along in a tight clump, so splash is rewarded. Snowman stack: if 4 or more imps are at the wall together, they stack into a snowman that does 3× their combined DPS until any imp in it dies, when it tumbles apart. It's immune to snow slow.
How to beat Snow Imp
Fire mage (icy +50% fire, splash), Keep Catapult, Boiling Oil, and Stormcaller. Cryomancer shows "resist".
Best counters: Keep Catapult, Boiling Oil, Pyromancer and Stormcaller.
Also works: Balcony Archers, Footman and Ranger.
Not great against it: Cryomancer.
- Icy foes take 50% more fire damage and shrug off frost.
- It comes in a crowd, so splash damage clears many at once.
Snow Imp in the campaign
On Normal you'll face about 224 Snow Imps over 8 days, spread across 15 waves. The biggest crowd comes on Day 13, with 40 of them. Harder difficulty levels send more of them, with more health; Easy sends fewer.
What it looks like
A round snowball body with little icicle horns, coal-lump eyes, a carrot nose, stick arms, and mittens. It's pale blue with a pink cheek blush. Gag: when a stack forms, the top imp puts on a tiny top hat.
The elite version
It spawns stacked as a 3-high snowman that walks, and splits into 3 imps when hit hard.
