Fold Ability

  • Ink Burst — The Plaguebearer unfolds and releases a cloud of corrosive ink in a radius around itself, dealing 20 damage over 8 seconds to all enemies in the area. Cooldown: 35s.

Strategy

Plaguebearers are area-denial specialists. Use Ink Burst on choke points or on top of clustered enemy groups. Be careful not to use them too close to your own units. They pair well with Pikemen who can hold enemies in place while the DoT ticks. Plaguebearers are weak individually, so protect them.
