This is a very powerful attack that has an area-of-effect and applied a burn damage-over-time to all opponents regardless of their position in the team. The one drawback of this skill is that it can be used only three times per encounter so be sure to use it wisely.Īlso Read: Darkest Dungeon 2: Tips and tricks for beginners Magnesium Rain To be able to use this skill the Plague Doctor will have to be in the back lines (3 or 4) and the hero you are going to use this on must have less than 50% HP or must be inflicted with a bleed, blight, or burn damage-over-time effect. It restores HP and cures any damage-over-time effects on your heroes. This skill is essential to have in your arsenal.
