Traits and special behavior

Living aura. While alive, the Survivor gives other allies +2 Attack and +2 damage.

Raise the Fallen. This consumes a full eligible action at no resource cost. It raises one original, non-fled Skeletal Warrior at half its scaled maximum HP, rounded up with a minimum of 1. The warrior keeps its original slot, turn order and defeat receipt, loses transient conditions, and gains neither a retroactive turn nor an additional defeat count. If resurrection is unavailable, the Survivor attacks normally; it has no healing action.

See the condition reference for the shared effects, and enemy tuning for difficulty-wide chance adjustments.
