Horror



Horror is a stress over time effect, represented by a black skull. At the beginning of an affected hero's turn, they will take stress equal to the horror strength. Lasts for a specified amount of turns (accessible by hovering cursor over black skull). Without the Crimson Court DLC, the only way Horror can be applied to your heroes is by Squiffy Ghast, which does 5 stress and it lasts for 4 rounds. However, with the DLC enabled, more monsters deal Horror, and Laudanum can be used to clear its effect. Horror attacks can be stacked on top of each other for more stress per turn.

It is a unavoidable status effect.
