How much FP do enemy mages have?

[Tentacule Un Seigneur]

I have dodged quite a few spells from quite a few mages, and they just keep casting and casting while never shifting to using physical attacks, how much FP do they have?
(On a side note, why does their glintstone pebble travel several times further than mine?)

Do the enemy mages have some item that regenerates FP and extends Spell Range? Do they drop it?

NPCs have infinite FP.
They literally cheat.
That's just how the game's engine works, unfortunately.

[Amica]

All AI have infinite FP.
If I'm not misunderstand , your summon mimic also has infinite fp too

Wait......why limit how much FP you can use.....if the enemy doesn't have similar limits? Then what supposedly fuels their spells?

....then why are you the only one with limited FP? Is there some lore based reason for it?

the 2nd mimic dungeon boss, not sure if an optional boss but he can run out.

Yeah they have infinite FP, and because there are no line of sight block in this game, and enemies will throw everything at you even if you have cover or hiding. If dev make limited FP/Throwable/Arrow for the enemies, then they will cheesed to the hell

[Calsetes]

Yup, and yeah, that applies to your mimic as well. It's one of the complaints I have about magic damage in this game as a melee player - if you use a heavy weapon, you spend all your stamina dodging, and shields are nigh-useless against it even with stuff to buff magic resistance as magic blows blocked deal a ton of stamina damage. Most regular enemies aren't a big deal, but ♥♥♥♥ like the ones you find in the study hall are just... I wound up cheesing them with a bow and some status effect arrows and abusing their AI that keeps them in one spot the whole time.

No, FS are just bad at game design these days. They fell for their own marketing.

How would you like it if enemy NPC's had 15 healing flasks and could summon spirits?

[Umbral Priestess]

Just fight that obnoxious NPC in the carian hall. that will let you know how much FP they have.

They are not Tarnished, they don't need anything to fuel them because they are malignant creatures with innate powers and abilities.

Lore explanation. Honestly it would be silly to limit the FP cause you could then just cheese every single magically creature. The AI is rudimentary at best as it has always been. If they had an FP limit you could just get behind an object wait till they run out then kill them. At which point they might as well remove all casting NPCs from the game.

Use your surroundings to block their spam. There will be an opening where you can jump into them and go for a kill.


However if you lured alot of those spammer npc, then... goodluck. :)
Be creative. Adapt.

Because you are the only one that has a brain -,-
The NPC doesn't know better while you can choose when to use spell

enemies have infinite everything cause they are there to pose a challange, its your job to overcome it, thats why you have limited, and they do not.

the only exception is hp pots on npc invades, cause in general if you weren't fast enough they could outheal you forever then.

[Enderspoons]

As in all FromSoftware titles before it, NPCs in Elden Ring have unlimited FP, Stamina, and consumables.

NPCs in this game are constrained by a hard limit of one Crimson Flask sip, but that is all.
