Talk:Viirastra

Viirastra's Clones

Not sure how to organize that information, so I'll just dump it here and let someone else decide if / how many additional pages are needed for the different varieties of Viirastra's clones. (and how to call them).

All clones are just called "Viirastra", exactly like the boss. The big clones (about the size of a normal human, not the huge ones she summons in the split phase) split into three medium sized ones when killed and the medium sized ones split into three small ones.

The big clones still have a defiance bar. They wield a chaos staff like Viirastra herself. The medium and small clones don't have a defiance bar and fight without a weapon.

List of all skills I found: Pastebin (not sure how to put that info directly here without actually generating the skills) --Alcahata (talk) 00:01, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

This is excellent work! My thoughts:

• To display the code for the templates on the wiki without actually generating them: <pre>code goes here</pre>.
• We don't seem to have much precedent for documenting monster skills on their own pages, judging from the state of Category:Monster skills; that's not a criticism of your work, just an observation that there's no convention to fall back on.
• I think the clones need their own pages, especially if the different types have different skills. Naming is straightforward in this case: they're all spawned by the "main" Viirastra, so she gets the "pure" name and the clones should get clarifying words in parentheses, for example "Viirastra (clone)" or "Viirastra (large clone)".

I can confirm that the clones and Viirastra herself have different stolen skills. I think Viirastra (clone) is a descriptive enough name.--Rain Spell (talk) 00:24, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

So you reckon we should have one page for all three types of clones? From Alcahata's description, it sounds like the large clone is distinct from the small/medium ones, so I feel we'll need two articles. --Idris (talk) 00:48, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

I think it'd get too confusing when discussing the clones if we had to link to seperate pages like, "Virrastra (large clone)" and "Virrastra (small clone)". The structure I'm thinking of would be similar to the Grub (NPC) page, where you have the standard location, objective, etc., but you seperate the combat details with simple headings.--Rain Spell (talk) 01:34, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Sounds good. --Idris (talk) 01:38, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

What armor skins is she wearing?

Also, what armor skins is her CM version (Artsariiv) wearing? --175.140.168.23 00:51, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Looks like she's not wearing shoulder armor for a start. Everything is Tribal armor except for her head(Seer Mask) and pants, of which I think are not be available to player, as they appear to be a variant of leystone armor but not the same thing. Artsariiv I think wears the same thing. - Do_odleplex 01:12, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

A norn? How?

She is an astral being. Why is she marked as a norn? --89.172.87.121 21:49, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
