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

• Warped Scourges and Warped Stoneguards are the only twisted units encountered in The Banner Saga 2.
