How to beat The Obscura

  • Parafright damage is nearly wasted: it comes back next turn at full HP, so killing it only skips one Slam.
  • Real target: The Obscura, with 123 HP and only occasional Block. The Parafright is a minion, so the fight ends when its master falls.
  • Sail: each one adds 3 to the Slam and to the Obscura's own hits, so a long fight means 22-damage Slams.
  • Block the Parafright every turn, treat a Sail turn as a signal to speed up, and remember its revive turn is a turn it does not attack.

Notes

  • HP is fixed at 123 (129 at Ascension 8+). Hive normal pool.
  • The Parafright's 21 HP has no Ascension variant, and it is not removed by Doom.
  • The compendium hides Piercing Gaze.
  • The encounter's possible-monster list includes the Parafright, but the code brings it in with the Illusion move.
