However, one must also be wary of any additional enemies that accompany her. Failing to do so can quickly result in the heroes being unable to heal the odds of losing one who reaches Death's Door via a critical hit being too high to ignore. The player must destroy the corpse - either by killing the enemy with a critical hit, with Bleed or Blight, or by using skills that clear corpses - or killing the Virago first, to prevent her from raising these growths.īecause of this, killing the Virago herself is often an immediate priority for the player. Between this, the Virago's ability to buff her associates, and her own powerful attacks, the Virago can quickly make combat astonishingly lethal for an unprepared player.

This attack creates a Necrotic Fungus, which occupies the same spot and blocks healing effects entirely for as long as it's on the battlefield. The Hateful Virago will use 'From Death Comes Life' at the end of any round where there is an available corpse. She utilises a powerful blight attack and a damaging hex that also marks those it strikes, making them more vulnerable to the attack of any Fungal Scratchers she has with her. The Hateful Virago is one of the most dangerous enemies to plague the Weald, alongside the Unclean Giant. Most dangerously, they can manipulate the fungal infections in the Weald, transforming their fallen allies into fungi that interfere with any healing skills. The Virago, like other marking enemies in the game, can direct their allies' attacks with their ruinous hexes. The Hateful Virago is an enemy that only appears in Champion-difficulty expeditions in the Weald. Woe to any that should stumble upon a Virago, for they are marked with her ruinous hex, an arcane beacon that calls to the crawling, stumbling horrors of the Weald! Rot and stagnation breed wherever they step, smothering growth and blighting the righteous. Reborn from the Hag’s Cauldron, they aid in maintaining and extending the perverted miasma that has twisted the natural order of the Weald. The Virago move unseen through the twisted fungi of the Weald, flitting from shadow to shadow. They are known as the Daughters of the Hag, wicked servants of the Hidden Moon.
