Devilites are a type of monster found in the Clockworks.
Traits
Devilites are diminutive members of the underworld who resemble small devils with somewhat somber demeanors. They tend to dislike their jobs and make for poor warriors. Some are said to break away from their ranks and start small businesses within the clockworks.
Devilites inflict shadow damage.

Strategy
Think fast! Devilite projectiles travel very quickly and trying to dodge may prove ineffective at a short distance, so try to guard as fast as possible when a Devilite readies a projectile.
Devilites will fling anything and everything they can at knights. They can also evade shots fired from your guns, so the best strategy would be to attack close and defend.
If you see a Pit Boss surrounded by Devilites, it should be either the first, or the last thing you attack depending on what it does. Pit Bosses have no attacks of their own, so they are not much of a threat. However, if you see a Pit Boss transform a Devilite into an Overtimer, that Pit Boss should become your highest priority, or else your life will become very difficult. If a Pit Boss transforms a Devilite into a Yesman, you are free to concentrate on other threats, since like the Pit Bosses, Yesmen have no attacks. It may actually be beneficial to allow a Pit Boss offering "promotions" to transform all the Devilites into Yesmen before attacking. Keep in mind, though, that if you kill the Pit Boss when he's surrounded by Yesmen, they will all turn into Overtimers. Remember though that defeating a Pit Boss will make another Devilite be promoted to Pit Boss
A good strategy while soloing would be to plant a bomb close to them, then run away while keeping your shield up. They will stay in their spots trying to target you, letting the bomb do its job.
