Implication

The Implication is a rare enemy found in Darkest Dungeon 2, that can be encountered during road battles. It is part of the Pillager faction.

Description
Many war machines can be seen laying dormant amidst the trees of The Tangle, where the Lost Battalion was meant to stand against the cult and it's ravenous descent from atop the mountain. Though most were overtaken by the strangling roots that ushered the poor soldiers to their eternal restless slumber, some of them yet remained salvageable. Those who did salvage them however, were no decent folk. The opportunistic and unsympathetic pillagers turned the weapons that were supposed to protect the people onto the poor souls who yet persisted trough the crumbling world. Used as tools of terror and slaughter alike, what was once a droplet of hope for humanity's survival against the looming threat of the void now serves as a reminder that monsters were here long before the cultists.

Though terrible, the weapon has it's weaknesses. It's once impenetrable iron shell has been weathered and made brittle by the tinkering of inexperienced handymen. With each blow it suffers, it's Armor is cleaved off of the shoddy improvised wooden framework that it rests upon, exposing the iron skeleton that holds the Implication aloft to be struck down.

Furthermore, even as it possesses the power to annihilate whoever stands in it's way, as any weapon, it is only as effective as it's wielder makes it. Lacking military training, the Pillagers seem to not be able to pilot the machine properly. Thus, even as it's attacks are devastating, the clumsy handling of it's operators will often make it miss it's targets. Paired with a severe lack of coordination, the Implication will only be ready to fire every other turn, as the loading process lacks the foretaught it requires to be efficient. One skill does stand out as highly more honed than the others however; during the reloading process, the operators of the Implications manage to mend the hull impressively quickly, reconstituting the shield of metal that protects the structural skeleton, reapplying Block+ tokens to the Implication.

Combat Skills
BOOOOOOOM! and MISFIRE! will target more heroes depending on how far back the Implication is when the skills are used.

Trivia

 * Implication is remarkably similar to the Brigand Pounder from Darkest Dungeon, both visually and mechanically.
