Ravenous

Ravenous

Buff
When an enemy dies, Corpse Slug immediately eats it, becoming Stunned and gaining 1 Strength.

Corpse Slug starts every fight with Ravenous at 4 stacks (5 on Ascension 9). Whenever another enemy on its side dies while the slug is alive, the slug drops what it was doing, becomes Stunned for its next turn while it eats the corpse, and gains Strength equal to the stack. The Strength is permanent for the fight; the skipped turn is the only cost.

Notes

Order matters

  • Every slug in the encounter reacts to the same death, so killing one slug in a pack of three feeds both survivors.
  • The stun buys you one free turn per kill, so early kills are cheap, but each one leaves the remaining slugs hitting harder.
  • Either kill the pack within a turn or two of each other, or finish the fed slugs before they get many turns to use the gain.
