Heinäsirkka (listen Audio.svg) (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 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.
  • Chicken Jockey
