Strategy

  • Piranhas are found only in flooded treasure vaults in the Caves level
  • They're particularly dangerous due to high speed and immunity to many status effects
  • They have no EXP value so killing them doesn't contribute to experience
  • Be careful when fighting near water edges as they can escape to safety
  • Consider using ranged attacks when possible to avoid close combat

Obtaining

Piranhas can be found in the Caves level:

  • They appear in underwater areas of the dungeon
  • Always found in pools created by the PoolPainter
  • 3 Piranhas are typically spawned per pool
