But enemies in higher-tier dungeons start to break away from this trope and begin to prioritize heavily injured or highly-stressed party members. Roulette: In lower-level dungeons, enemies use random attacks on random characters. For others, less so, such as the tavern and abbey, especially the abbey's 'cloister' service. For some services, an increase in price makes sense (for instance, the blacksmith charging more to make a fancier weapon). Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: All town services rise in price as heroes level up.The first phase of 'The Sleeper' in the Color of Madness DLC summons and grows exploding crystals that deal heavy damage and apply status effects.The 'thrall' enemies in The Cove dungeon make one standard attack, but on their second turn, they explode, hitting all party members for heavy damage.One such achievement involves a hero with the Crimson Curse killing a teammate. The Crimson Curse DLC adds a couple more achievements for ways your heroes can die.The Swine King himself can deliver very powerful hits that can instantly put your heroes at Death's Door, followed by Wilbur's squealing landing a Deathblow to add insult to injury. An achievement exists for losing a hero to Wilbur.An achievement exists for losing a hero to a very weak Maggot.There are achievements for those too, and often they require heroes at Death's Door outside combat (an already precarious position) to occur. This includes hunger, traps, and choosing to clear obstacles by hand. You can lose heroes to hazards outside combat.To begin, there's an achievement each for losing a hero, losing a Level 6 hero, having one succumb to a heart attack, getting a Total Party Kill, and a Total Party Kill to a boss.

Achievement Mockery: There are many achievements for losing heroes under certain circumstances.Worse, when the light gets low, you can sometimes hear squealing in the distance. Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: The Warrens filthy, abandoned caves filled with corpses, sinister altars and etchings, and literal piles of ancient, dried filth.This means the Crusader, Leper, Arbalest, Man-at-Arms and Bounty Hunter never take off their armor. Twenty-Four-Hour Armor: Due to the limitation of sprites, no character changes their outfit.You'll never do huge damage in one go, but by stacking Blight effects you can end up doing over a dozen damage to an enemy every turn. The Plague Doctor's main priority is keeping their team alive, and if everybody's fine, inflicting various status effects on the bigger enemies that wear them down and tax their Deathblow Resistance saves. Allies struggling to keep their blood inside them? Battlefield Medicine will pick them up. Being attacked at range by artillery-focused foes? Trigger Blinding Gas to cripple their accuracy. Opposition got their own healers? Throw poison at the back two ranks. Big enemy? Blight them and watch their health drain. Frankly, adventuring without a Plague Doctor feels ridiculous, as their extreme versatility means they have something for every situation. Strategy: The Plague Doctor is your main support class, healing allies of both damage and afflictions while lobbing toxic explosives at the enemy that Blight and Blind them. Pros: Healing, status cures, status afflictions, ranged attacksĬons: Low health, poor front row fighter, does damage over time rather than quicklyĬould be replaced by: Occultist, but not really - the Plague Doctor's too good to swap out
