To minimize the time spent being affected by the Necrotic Fungus, it is often important that the Hateful Virago never gets an opportunity to summon them. This also includes skills that do other things in addition to healing - this includes the Vestal's Judgment, Abomination's Transform, and the Flagellant's Exsanguinate.īecause the Virago herself is quite a potent combatant, and often brings along friends she can buff to impressive levels, the presence of a Necrotic Fungus can result in a deadly cycle where heroes are unable to get off Death's Door, making it much more likely that you'll lose a party member. However, despite this, it's a monumental threat to the party - so long as a Necrotic Fungus is on the field, its corrupting spores completely block healing effects, shown by all heroes having a special debuff icon on them. It has no attacks, it does not move, and its only defense is a decent HP stat.

On its own, the Necrotic Fungus does absolutely nothing except take up space. She will use this automatically at the end of any round if there is an available corpse, consuming that corpse and replacing it one of these wicked weeds. The Necrotic Fungus is spawned from an enemy's corpse by a Hateful Virago's From Death Comes Life ability.
