Roamroot

The Roamroot is a weak hostile enemy fought in Lullaby Hills, with just 12 health and a top hit of 6. Its only attack is a ranged shot worth 6 physical damage, and with only 20 poise it staggers to nearly any hit. At 400 movement speed it is slower than most heroes, and it drops 4 souls on death. Found in 4 regions, it is easy prey one-on-one — the danger is fighting it in a crowd while it keeps peppering you.

Its one defining trait is a glaring vulnerability: Roamroots take +50% extra poison damage. A poison enchanted weapon or poison artifact clears whole groups of them at once, making poison the obvious counter. Fast weapons also work well — close in and the Roamroot has no melee attack to answer with, and ranged heroes can simply out-shoot it before its volleys become annoying.

Look for Roamroots in Lullaby Hills, reachable through the Illager Stronghold and Lullaby Hilltop minecart stations. They tend to appear alongside other hillside foes such as Roamrots and Sprouts, so bring area coverage and a poison weapon to keep the field clean.
