Traits and special behavior

Restorative magic. Wormface has 3 mana. Healing consumes the entire action and costs 1 mana. It first chooses the eligible other ally with the lowest fraction of remaining HP, provided that ally is missing at least 2 HP and is strictly below 80% health. If no such ally qualifies, Wormface can heal itself when below 50% health. Otherwise it attacks.

The heal restores the smaller of the target’s missing HP and the greater of 6 or 18% of maximum HP, rounded up. It also cures Poison and Sapped.

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