Warped Scourge

Warped Scourges are twisted varieties of Dredge Scourges, corrupted by the Darkness. They wield a misshapen purple blade and are first encountered in the Underworld Caves in Chapter 10. These creatures are apparently feared and avoided also by regular Dredge.

Active Ability | Mind Devour

 * The Warped Scourge saps an amount equal to the difference in willpower between the scourge and the target, damaging [[file:willpower.png|20px|link=willpower]] and stealing [[file:strength.png|20px|link=strength]].
 * For example, if a 9 [[file:willpower.png|20px|link=willpower]] Warped Scourge targeted a 4 [[file:willpower.png|20px|link=willpower]] Hero, the hero would be take - 5 [[file:willpower.png|20px|link=willpower]] and - 5 [[file:strength.png|20px|link=strength]] while the Scourge gained +5 [[file:strength.png|20px|link=strength]].
 * This ability is one of the most powerful available to warped enemies.

Passive Ability | Depraved

 * The Warped Dredge explodes upon death and disappears. The explosion causes one [[file:willpower.png|20px|link=willpower]] damage to all adjacent enemies and leaves a surface of burned purple ashes equal to the unit's size, that does 1 [[file:willpower.png|20px|link=willpower]] damage to any unit walking over it.

Tips & Trivia

 * Mind Devour can be catastrophic when applied to low Willpower Heroes, as it deals more damage to them. There is only one way to do survive: kill the Warped Scourge as fast as possible!
 * Warped Scourges and Warped Stoneguards are the only twisted units encountered in The Banner Saga 2.
