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 humans who have turned their despair into an enthusiastic fixation on fire; their frantic worship has burned them almost beyond recognition, melting their skin like candle wax. Many of these fiends have augmented themselves with deadly prosthetic weapons, determined to rend through anything that cannot be burned.

It is interesting to note that all Fanatics seem to be blind, either due to their hoods, blindfolds, or simply because their eye sockets have been obscured by melted flesh. It is possible that their devotion to fire has blessed them with some form of unholy sight.

These cowardly fools seek to hasten the world's descent into darkness. Grind them to ashes beneath your carriage wheels.

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 player may see their heroes accumulating a lot of burn and losing health at an alarming pace.
