Ash Demon The Ash Demon is one of

Ash Demon The Ash Demon is one of the three “cloud” Demons, the other two being the Steam and Mist Demons. It isn’t as big as the other two, but it has two hands, whereas the other two only have one. The “cloud” Demons each have the Water Element somewhere, and they all share the Shroud ability, which is by far the simplest method of defense that a Demon can use. The Ash Demon has water as its third element, and thus only the Ancient Ash Demon can make use of it. Although it has very little attacking power in proportion to the other “cloud” Demons, its upgrades more than make up for this initial vulnerability.

Essential and Ancient Ash Demons As it upgrades, the Ash Demon reveals that it follows a pattern quite similar to an insect. The Essential Ash Demon is a cocoon, with absolutely 0 attacking power, except via weaponry, but a method of using Powerups to reach its Ancient form without the usual strain of upgrading. It isn’t clear what the Ancient Ash Demon actually is, but it looks much more “demonic” than most Demons. The unusual flames that burn in the Ancient Ash Demon’s “wing” vents flicker out briefly before the Demon uses its Searing Strike attack, suggesting that the Ancient Ash Demon may have trouble keeping its own power under control. As far as is known, an Elder Ash Demon cannot be created.

If this Demon has a weapon and moves to an empty slot, the weapon is dropped. Dissipate: Choose one of the slots on your hex. Special Attack: Steam, Mist, and Ash Demon Corporeal Transposition Specials All the “cloud” Demons can take advantage of a unique Special Attack called Corporeal Transposition, which is a fancy way of saying that it lets the Demon teleport. This teleportation doesn’t let the Demon bring along weapons, but it does let it switch places with a Demon already in play, allowing the Demons to trade weapons. Also, the Ash Demon can use its own Special Attack, Concentration Crush, to bring back an Ash Demon that was recently destroyed. There will probably never be any Special Attacks that the Essential Ash Demon can use.
