Fanatics (Darkest Dungeon II)

"Emboldened anarchists, desperate to exercise their nihilism"

- The Academic

Fanatics are an enemy faction in Darkest Dungeon II roaming in the Sprawl.

Description
The Fanatics are humanoid monsters who gave themselves to fire : by doing so their flesh started to melt like candle wax and adopted a red taint matching the ambiant color of the burning city. Furthermore, some of them are grafted with metal parts and sometimes have amputed limbs and replaced with dangerous weapons, most notably the Flayer who lost his legs and his arms.

It is interesting to notice that all Fanatics are blind, either by their hood, a blindfold, or simply because their eye sockets melted ; this handicap doesn't stop them from being a important threat however. It is possible that their devotion brought them some form of illumination and they don't need to use their eyes to see now.

Combat Overview
Fanatics have a relatively low health compared to the other factions, however they are the most efficient at applying burn. They also tend to apply many negative tokens such as immobilize or  blind.

The Fanatics gimmick is their ability to ignite themselves, giving themselves a turn and gaining new skills with more abilities to burn. If not careful, the payer may see their heroes accumulating a lot of burn and losing health at an alarming pace.
