Turn 1

How to beat Calcified Cultist

  • It hits harder than its partner early and never blocks: with 38 to 41 HP it is a two- or three-attack kill.
  • In the Cultists fight its partner the Damp Cultist starts weaker but gains 5 (6) Strength a turn, so the Damp passes it on turn five (they are level on turn four at Ascension 9+).
  • Kill the Calcified first if the fight will be short, the Damp first if it will drag.
  • With a Seapunk it is the steady damage source and usually the second kill.
  • Weak scales well here since the base keeps growing.

Notes

  • 38 to 41 HP (39 to 42 on Ascension 8+), no starting powers.
  • Found in Underdocks in Cultists (with a Damp Cultist) and Underdocks Wildlife (with a Seapunk).
  • Its attack sound gets louder with every Dark Strike, a purely cosmetic touch.
