Welcome back to our Weekly Challenge Report, Travelers!
You think darkness is your ally?
You merely adopted the dark.
This week… it fights back.
This week’s challenge plunges you into Pitch Black, where enemies still hit hard, move faster, and just won’t die—unless you outwit them.
XP is high. Visibility is low. And the heroes? They’re out here praying the next turn isn’t their last.
⸻
🕳️ What You’re Dealing With:
🌘 Darkest Night – All Dark charges go boom at end of the turn. Stack wrong, die loud.
❤️ Vigorous Monsters – +25% HP. Everything’s bulkier. Including bosses.
🧠 Smart Heroes – You earn 50% more XP. Congrats. Now level up or get steamrolled.
💨 Fast Monsters – Monster Speed +1. Hope you stretched for the new marathon.
🔻 Vulnerable Monsters – But hey, they’ve got -15% resistance. Try to bring raw numbers, not dots.
🛡️ Ironclad Monsters – Monster damage taken reduced by 3. They feel nothing, so punch harder.
Enemies this week are essentially tanks with built-in turbo. You’ll need burst, brains, and more Dispel than you thought possible.
⸻
🛡️ Party Report – The Night's Watch:
💀 Malukah – Darkness incarnate. Applies Hexes and debuffs while soaking up every whisper of light.
🦎 Thuls – The poison-tongued predator. Slower than the enemies now, but still lethal with prep.
📖 Reginald – Sustain engine online. If he’s alive, the party isn’t dead. Yet.
🦌 Bree – Spiked walls and support. Built for attrition and holding fast against speed demons.
This crew isn’t here to light the way through. They’re here to outlive the dark, molded by it.
💡Tip of the week: Smart Heroes = Power Spike Potential.
You’re earning 50% more XP, so make it count. Prioritize early camp nodes and power cards that scale fast (like Evolving Thoughts or Adaptive Mutation). Stack resistance reduction and exploit Vulnerable Monsters with raw damage—not just clever combos.

🎁 Rewards From the Shadows:
Survive to the end of Act 3 and unlock:
• A card back stitched from shadows
• One carved in frost and bone.
Your reward for surviving the night? A reason to brag about it.
