Scout

A Scout in Citadel Agartha.

The Scout is an airborne enemy encountered in Citadel Agartha and Axis Mundi. Stationary, it periodically shoots a blue fireball at the player.

## Behaviour

Scouts are stationary airborne enemies that periodically shoot a single blue fireball aimed at the player. Although fairly simple to dodge since it's rather slow and travel in a straight line, that fireball can pass through walls and has a good range making it dangerous to new players and in chaotic situations. Unlike a lot of other enemies, Scouts' enemy logic give them a chance to attack the player from afar.

## Attacks

### Blue Fireball

At regular interval, the Scout will fire a single blue fireball aimed at the player.

The fireball is a Mid-sized Projectile that travel in a straight line and can be countered by a lot of means, like Ranger's  Ivy Canopy,
 Vanguard's Banner or
the  Shockwave spell
.

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

## Location

Scouts can only appear naturally in Citadel Agartha and Axis Mundi (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
* enabling both burdens adds a chance for Scouts in Axis Mundi to evolve into their highest variant, the Visionary.

There is a special interaction in Pishon Dry Lake: if the game tries to spawn one of the Knut enemies but couldn't (these enemies require a ceiling to spawn), a Scout will be spawned instead.
