“These strange creatures were created by the Druids to serve as henchmen. Because of this, they are capable of using life energy, meaning they can create wood and stone out of thin air and use them as deadly weapons. They are completely made out of wood, giving them natural defense.”

Strategy

Fighting Tanglers can be a potentially long draw due to their Defense and Vine Trap ability stalling the fight. By itself, they do not pose a major threat but should be taken out immediately after any supporting Druids are defeated.

Vine Trap's Stuck status can be prevented with a well timed block. In the case you can not block, Ice Armor is recommended to avoid the Stuck from Vine Trap, though if given the Nature Power buff from Druids, it deals enough damage to inflict Stuck regardless. On the following turns, the ideal skill would be to use Fiery Explosion to finish on turn three. If Stuck, then wait out the turns with items or passing.

With a teammate, and there only being Tanglers, being with Ice Armor and then Fiery Explosion the next turn. If there are accompanying Druids, both use Fiery Explosion on turn one to remove them, then use Basic Archery or Dull Rapier to remove the Tanglers. Savage Hit could be useful to prevent them from stunning you.

Against Corrupted Tanglers, Ice Armor becomes useless for defending against the Stuck status. In this case, it is best to strike it down supporting enemies with Fiery Explosion and then Dull Rapier to finish it.
