Cockroach
They’re kinda like wolves. Whether they’re worse or not depends on the hero, I guess. And on how many cockroaches can appear on which stage.
if not for the “start turn fatigue” ascension, this fight would be trivial to win
That’s true. It still was mildly interesting to work around.
Start turn fatigue indeed doesn’t feel like an ideal source of difficulty. But without it, you could also just spam defense and some damage.
It just so happens that both would also be vulnerable to Prestidigitation
Yeah, Prestidigitation is pretty strong. Confusion is just one of the most powerful status effects. It’s more rarely resisted than stun or entangle, and additionally attacks sanity.
