PLAGUE
Keywords: PLAGUE
=== USER MANUAL ===
Class: Plague
Race: Zombie
Level Required: 10
Description:
A disease-and-decay zombie specialist that controls space with
toxic spit, miasma clouds, reanimated corpses, and contagious wounds.
Plague unlocks at level 10 and rewards patient attrition play --
your damage compounds the longer a target stays infected.
Firearm Branch:
Spit (up to 3 pts)
Unlocks the spit ranged biologic attack and adds
+5% damage with spit-tagged attacks per point.
Gateway to every other Plague node.
Contagion Branch:
Contagion (1 pt) requires Spit
Your spit and bite attacks have a chance to apply
Infected, a stat-debuffing rot that ticks over time.
(Bite requires the Stench Bite node to use.)
Infect (1 pt) requires Contagion
When you kill an Infected target, the disease spreads
to every other enemy in the room (capped).
Cloud Branch:
Miasma (2 pts)
Unlocks the miasma command -- channel a toxic
cloud in your current room that poisons and slows
enemies inside.
Pestilence (3 pts) requires Miasma
Upgrades miasma: the cloud expands one room outward
per tick and follows you as you move.
Attrition Branch:
Necrotize (1 pt) requires Spit
Your spit attacks apply Necrosis, reducing the
target's maximum HP for the duration of the fight.
Plaguebearer (2 pts) requires Necrotize
Corpses you create become infectious, applying
Infected to enemies that linger in the room.
Summon Branch:
Carrier (3 pts)
Allows summon plague-minion to consume a corpse
from your room and raise a plague-zombie minion that
fights for you. Grants +1 summon slot.
Outbreak (2 pts) requires Carrier
Your plague-zombie minions explode into a miasma
cloud on death, and you gain +1 summon slot.
Defense:
Immunity (2 pts) requires Spit
Passive. Grants +5 biologic and +5 fire
resistance to you and other Plague-class zombies in
your group.
Notes:
- The Contagion, Attrition, and Defense branches all root
off Spit; Cloud and Summon are independent.
- Each plague-minion costs one summon slot; Carrier grants
+1 slot and Outbreak grants another, so you can field up
to two simultaneous minions with both nodes.
- Full tree costs 20 pts (well under the 50-pt cap).
- class info plague <node> shows full per-node detail
in game.
