Monster Train 2's final faction, The Punished, lands November 10 as paid DLC
The self-damage clan introduces the Chained keyword, which makes enemy units take half the damage your units take.
The Punished, the final faction coming to Monster Train 2, will arrive on November 10 as paid DLC, according to PC Gamer. The clan is built around self-damage, gaining power in exchange for hurting your own units.
The faction introduces the Chained keyword, which makes enemy units take half the damage your units take. Its clan mechanic is the Monolith, which sacrifices cards from your hand to grant Devotion and raise the Monolith's level. Each Monolith level gives 1 Zeal, granting +1 attack and +1 max HP when a unit is deployed. Curses can be sacrificed to the Monolith like any other card, and sacrificing a card triggers Offering.
The starter champion, Archus, gains Flight on all build paths and can deploy a Darkshard in the lane he flies into. Darkshard variants include Blinding, Looming and Shattering Darkshards. The second champion, Zariel, is described as the first angel cast out of heaven.
The Punished follows existing clans such as the Melting Remnant, which already revolve around forms of sacrifice. PC Gamer's writer notes having spent 500 hours in Monster Train 2.
