Heinäsirkka (listen ) (also known as Cricket) is walking robot enemy that is sometimes seen in The Vault and Frozen Vault.
Behavior
This enemy will hop around slowly. Its main attack is a barrage of up to four homing rockets, which it will fire after signaling the attack with a blue targeting laser aimed at you.
Combat Tips
- As with other robots, it is fairly resistant to damage, but explosions and electricity work well.
- Heinäsirkka will only fire if it has line of sight, so hiding behind cover and peeking out when you want to attack is a good way to deal with this enemy safely.
- Circling around the enemy from a distance will prevent it from firing, giving you more time to safely attack.
- The missiles do a lot of damage if you get hit by all of them, so if they get fired, prioritize avoiding them over attacking.
- The missiles will explode after 3 seconds if they do not hit anything, but if Heinäsirkka can still see you, it can shoot another batch before the previous ones expire. Since the missiles take a direct path to you, hiding behind cover will stop the missiles from reaching you.
- Teleport Bolt can be useful for avoiding the missiles and reaching a safe place quickly. Return can also be used behind your cover before approaching, so you'll teleport back before the missiles can reach you.
- Summon Wall or Summon Platform can be used to block the missiles before they hit.
Trivia
- If you
Chaos polymorph into this enemy, any missiles you fired that are still in the air will steer towards you when you turn back to normal.
- When standing directly inside of this enemy, it will not move or fire.
