·Multi-source verified (85/85)

The Harvest Child is a grotesque boss that constantly spawns 'Meat' tokens on your heroes, which explode for Blight damage if not removed. The boss itself has high HP and can apply heavy Blight. Your strategy should revolve around managing the Meat tokens by using skills that remove negative tokens or by having heroes with high Blight resistance. Damage over time (Blight, Bleed, Burn) is effective against the boss. Heroes with strong single-target damage and Blight cleanse are invaluable. This is a war of attrition where managing persistent damage is key.
