Misery

NecrobinderAttackRare
Deal 7 damage.
Apply any debuffs on the enemy to ALL other enemies.

A 0-cost hit for 7 (9 upgraded) that copies every debuff on the target onto every other enemy.

  • Copies: existing stacks on other enemies are added to, missing ones are applied fresh.
  • Debuffs counted: Doom, Weak, Vulnerable, Poison and negative Strength.
  • Strength drains: the code handles temporary Strength drains so they are not applied twice.
  • Upgrading: adds Retain, so you can hold it until the target is loaded.

When to take Misery

A Necrobinder's answer to groups: stack Doom on one enemy with No Escape or Scourge, then it hands that total to everyone. Upgrade it for the Retain, not the damage.
