The Cloud Elemental is a rare Hardmode mini boss that spawns in space while it is raining.

She is one of the few enemies that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer and its upgrades.

Behavior

She slowly follows the player while choosing between three attacks at random:

  • Spawns a ring of 5 tornadoes around the player that linger around for some time.
    • If below 50% HP, she will instead spawn 8 tornadoes.
  • Summons 5 Angry NimbusAngry Nimbi to attack the player. No more than 10 may be alive at a time.
    • If below 50% HP, she will summon 6 Nimbi at a faster rate.
  • Teleports to a random location near the player while occasionally emitting visual cloud particles that dissipate when the player contacts them or after some time.

Below 50% HP, she will additionally perform the following attacks:

  • Summons a row of 7 Lightning CloudLightning Clouds on either side of her, which sequentially fire lightning bolts below them.
  • Quickly charges at the player four times.

Notes

Trivia

  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Cloud Elemental: "Part of a solitary elemental that rarely appears aside from when her domain is at its strongest. Many attempts were made by what remained of Yharim's forces to hunt down the elementals after Azafure fell. Only now that the war has passed do the weaker elementals dare return."
  • She resembles a valkyrie due to her armor with wing motifs, as well as being a female warrior relating to the sky.
  • She is referred to in the mod's files as "ThiccWaifu."
