The Flesh battle

4 different body parts that shapeshift every turn. The HP pool is shared among them all, so it doesn't matter who you hit, as long as you're dealing damage.

The head deals damage and bleeds, the spine deals damage and stuns, the butt deals damage and blight and the heart heals the boss.

How to beat him

Just bring a ton of blights and bleeds that target more than one ennemy.

They will stay on the body parts even after they shapeshift, and there is always 4 body parts in the fight so you will always have more than one target.

Houndmaster and flagellant are the best here in the front ranks for dealing a lot of bleed damage on multiple targets. Plague doctor is great, and occultist can also deal decent damage since there is always two eldritch type targets in the back.

Shieldbreaker is great with her skill that deals damage and blight to all ennemies. It can only be used on rank 1, but she can use pierce to get back there while dealing good damage to armored targets.

  1. Flagellant, shieldbreaker or hellion
  2. Houndmaster, shieldbreaker or jester
  3. Occultist
  4. Plague doctor
