Prophet

The Prophet is a boss which appears in the Ruins, and, like other bosses, has three variations (Sonorous, Fulminating and Gibbering).

Ancestor's Memoirs: The Prophet
"Excavations beneath the manor were well underway, when a particularly ragged indigent arrived in the hamlet. This filthy, toothless miscreant boasted an uncanny knowledge of my ambitions and prognosticated publicly that, left unchecked, I would soon unleash doom upon the world. This raving creature had to be silenced. But doing so proved maddeningly impossible. How had he survived the stockades, the icy waters, and the knives I delivered so enthusiastically into his back? How had he returned, time and time again, to rouse the townfolk with his wild speculations and prophecies? Finally, resign to his uncommon corporeal resilience I lured him to the dig. There, I showed him the THING and detailed the full extent of my plans. Triumphantly I watched as he tore his eyes from their sockets and ran shrieking into the shadows, wailing maniacally that the end was upon us all."

History
There was a man who decried the Ancestor as a harbinger of doom. Nothing the Ancestor did could stop this prophet, and all murder attempts failed as well. The Ancestor eventually revealed all of his plans to the prophet, resulting in the prophet completely losing what sanity he had left and tearing out his own eyes. He continues his apocalyptic ravings in the darkness of the Ruins, as the leader of the cultists there.

Behaviour
The Prophet spawns on rank 4, with wooden pews of crescent hitpoints on rank 1, 2 and 3. Breaking these pews will reward valuable Consecrated Pews in the end of the battle.

During a turn, the Prophet will use 2-3 attacks.

Abilities
* Rank Marked marks the target's rank when the ability lands, not the targeted Hero.

** Rubble of Ruin can only be cast on heroes occupying Marked Rank. Heroes in Ranks that are not marked will not be affected, even if it says 100% +1 extra target.

Strategy
Ranged characters are the better options for this battle, as the Pews can be quite hardy and prove to be a pain for melee classes. Arbalest, Occultist, Highwayman and Hellion with Iron Swan are heavily recommended. Make sure to have high stun and blight resist, and bring Antivenom. Stress is also an issue, as Fulminate crits and Eye On You can get a hero from 0 to a 100 stress easily. If you desire, you may focus on the Pews for loot, but it is not reccomended. It is advised to take care of the Fear of Unholy and Satanophobia quirks before this battle.
