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.

Abilities[]

Active Ability | Mind Devour[]

The Warped Scourge saps an amount equal to the difference in willpower between the scourge and the target, damaging

and stealing

.

For example, if a 9

Warped Scourge targeted a 4

Hero, the hero would take - 5

and - 5

while the Scourge gained +5

.

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

damage to all adjacent enemies and leaves a surface of burned purple ashes equal to the unit's size, that does 1

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.
