How to beat Kin Follower

  • Their base damage is tiny, but Power Dance every third turn is permanent, and Boomerang's two hits double whatever Strength they have gained.
  • Two Dances in, a Follower is throwing a 9 and then a 12 over two turns each.
  • They die with the Priest, so the choice is whether killing 58 HP of Follower now saves more than putting that damage into the 190 HP Priest.
  • With strong single-target damage, kill the Follower that starts with Power Dance first, then decide. With area damage, hit all three and let the Followers fall along the way.

Notes

  • Boss fight The Kin in the Overgrowth act; each Follower has 58 to 59 HP (62 to 63 at Ascension 8+).
  • Their attack numbers do not change at Ascension 9, only the Dance Strength does.
  • When the last Follower dies the Priest says a line and the music shifts, but nothing mechanical changes.
