Hero Usage

• Heroes and enemies will use this skill on targets that are in the area of an allied spirit, regardless of whether that spirit can actually attack and regardless of the fact that attacking spirits have a much higher attack range.

Notes

• Synergizes with Anguish.

Anomaly.The concise description incorrectly states that spirits do more damage; it is the hex causing the damage and spirits that do not deal damage with its attacks (i.e. Bloodsong, Vampirism, and Wanderlust) do not technically deal more damage.
