Pupil

A Pupil in Citadel Agartha.

The Pupil is an airborne enemy first encountered in The Sun Tower and Pishon Dry Lake. Stationary, it either shoots a stream of blue fireballs aimed at the player or a homing resonant orb.

## Behaviour

Pupils are stationary airborne enemies that have two projectile attacks they will use randomly. Both of these attacks can pass through walls and have a good range making them a threat to unsuspecting players or in chaotic situations. Unlike a lot of other enemies, Pupils' enemy logic give them a chance to attack the player from afar.

## Attacks

When attacking the player, Pupils randomly choose between one of their two attacks with no preference for one over the other.

### Blue Fireballs

The Pupil fires a **stream of five blue fireballs** aimed at the player.

The fireballs are Mid-sized Projectiles that travel in a straight line and can be countered by a lot of means, like Ranger's  Ivy Canopy,
 Shield of Thorns or
Knight's  Shield Block
.

They can also **pass through walls** and have a good range, making off-screen attacks a threat to be wary off.

### Lightning Orb

The Pupil fires a single lightning orb that homes in on the player and lasts a fairly long time.

That orb is a Mid-sized Projectile that travels slowly and can be countered by a lot of means, like the  Pirate Ship talent or
the  Frying Pan weapon
, and because it's **resonant**, can be destroyed with a Spin Kick if the player has  Echo's Boots.

It can also **pass through walls**, which, coupled with its longevity, can make it a danger if not taken care of quickly.

## Location

Pupils can only appear naturally in The Sun Tower and Pishon Dry Lake (including within red portals).

Once you reach NG+1, you will unlock the use of burdens:

* enabling the  Burden of Mundi’s Crossing will evolve every Scout in Axis Mundi into Pupils
* each level of the  Burden of Evolution enabled adds a 10% chance for a Scout in Citadel Agartha and Axis Mundi to instead spawn as a Pupil, and for Pupils in The Sun Tower and Pishon Dry Lake to instead spawn as Visionaries.
