It tends to open using Whetstone, which gives it dodge+ and a crit token, before immediately following up with Flense. It has a permanent condition that will allow it to deal 1 extra bleed when it uses its bleed attack after it crits with any move (for the whole fight). Fish MongerĪ backline sniper that focuses on setting itself up for crits, the fishmonger doesn’t typically deal crazy damage on its own, but it can ramp up slightly over time. If he’s in the front you can generally leave him alone for other enemies, which is great because tons of enemies in the Shroud are way more dangerous than this guy. It’s a rather crappy move due to the high stress, but it does have a 2 turn cooldown, meaning his priority drops back to 4 for a couple of turns after he uses it.

He can only use Briny spray in the back, hence the priority difference. He either uses sucker punch, which is a normal damage move that inflicts some bleed, or Briny Spray, which will stealth him and inflict 2 stress and the barnacles token.

Wears off in 3 turns and is limited to 1. It causes heroes to gain 1 bleed when they move, no matter how they move. Some of the Fisherfolk can inflict a special token: The Barnacles token. Otherwise, Comps that deal with being moved well are superb here as Fisherfolk love to move you around, and flexible damage plans tend to perform well against the myriad threats and against the boss himself. This effect is random, but its ability to show up any time after turn 1 means that high alpha comps have a distinct advantage against the gimmick. You won’t get both blind and vuln on the same character. It’s worth noting that in every combat within the shroud, a combat effect can happen that causes your heroes to randomly get blind or vuln, and sometimes stress.
