Warped Stoneguard

Warped Stoneguards are twisted varieties of regular Dredge Stoneguards, corrupted by the Darkness. They wield a misshapen purple hammer and hold a massive shield. Warped Dredge are first encountered in the Underworld Caves in Chapter 10.

Active Ability | Soul Bond

 * The Warped Stoneguard singles out an enemy anywhere on the battlefield and binds itself to the target for a round,
 * dealing damage to willpower equivalent to the stat's difference between the Scourge and the target. (9 willpower.png Scourge targets 5 willpower.png Hero; hero has 1 willpower.png left.)


 * During bondage, all [[file:strength.png|20px]] damage the Scourge takes will hurt the target instead, ignoring armor.

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

 * Soul Bond can severely damage the Willpower of your Heroes, especially in low Morale situations, restricting them from using abilities or performing exerted actions.
 * The damage-transfer of Soul Bond can easily kill your Heroes, so make sure you only do Break attacks on the Warped Stoneguard when it has bonded a target.
