Blight



Blight is a damage over time status effect, represented by a green drop.

=Blight effect=

At the beginning of an affected hero or enemy's turn, they will take damage equal to the blight strength. Most blights in the game last for 3 turns, or 5 turns from a critical strike.

Blight can be removed with Antivenom, the Plague Doctor's Battlefield Medicine, the Grave Robber's Toxin Trickery, the Hellion's Adrenaline Rush, and Flagellant's Suffer.

During camping, every hero (except Flagellant) can remove blight from other hero with a shared camping skill Wound Care; Plague Doctor can cure blight from other hero with her skill Leeches, or from herself with Self-Medicate, and Flagellant can cure blight on himself with Lash's Kiss. Shieldbreaker can increase her blight resistance and skill chance by her skill Adder's Embrace.

Can kill a character on Death's Door before they can use an Antivenom on their turn. If out of combat, there will be a chance to use food or an antidote to prevent death.

Can be avoided by increasing blight resist with trinkets, camping skills, positive quirk Thick Blooded, or by drinking Holy Water.

Abomination's Beast's Bile, Antiquarian's Festering Vapours, and Grave Robber's Poison Darts come with a corresponding debuff to enemies' Blight resistance.

Trivia
According to the characters in-game, Blight is excruciatingly painful and causes a burning sensation. It is unclear whether Blight actually burns the afflicted, but its effectiveness against enemies made primarily of bone or stonework (and thus lacking organs to suffer from poisoning) reinforces the implication that it is corrosive.
