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.
A Corruption 3 Tangler
Tanglers are always fought alongside Druids or other Tanglers. In a solo fight, Ice Armor is recommended to avoid the Stuck from Vine Trap, though if given the Roots of Rage 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. In this case, it is best to strike it down supporting enemies with Fiery Explosion and then Dull Rapier to finish it.
