Fire Elemental attack range

[NF_Crenos]

I've experimented a bit and found that their range is 4 units, but sometimes it's 5 or even 6. Are they just bugged, or does it boil down to their AI? Either way, my defence setup took a big nasty hit with that sudden 5 tile range appearance D:

Their range is actually 8. :)

The AI doesn't always pick a location exactly 8 tiles away, sometimes it'll come in a little closer. Just some RNG randomness to keep them all from always stopping at the exact same spot.

O dang ok. That is terrifying. I have a bunch of buildings well within 8 tiles from any walls

They can't fire over curtain walls. Use those anywhere you don't need towers firing over and you'll be fine.

Yeah, I noticed I can place curtain walls around my Static towers and they are completely safe from fire elementals. And Ballistas can still fire over them!
