History of Plaguewielders

Overview

'''Plaguewielders''' are major-rank Scorn enemies, a variant of Scorn Chieftains. They appear in Riven's Lair and The Coil, in the Enthymeme and Chiasmus encounter.

Shield

A Plaguewielder is immune to damage until the fireteam clears the Scorn hordes to draw out Elite Mephitic Hosts. Defeating a Mephitic Host grants the Ephemeral Virus, which lets players damage Plaguewielders for 29 seconds. Before the timer runs out, a player must jump on the well to cleanse the Virus, or they die. The encounter ends once all three Plaguewielders are slain.
