The Pits: fatal infection

[eraithianwolf]

Did the game designers forget that Plague-ridden regenerate from Poison? Because this incredibly BS Pits fight feels completely unbalanced

you get three units, a bunch of poison traps against about 12 (14 if you press the Rat/mud trap) plague ridden. If your units kill three infected units personally, arrows and throwing items still count, they're knocked out.

I know what you're thinking-Use the traps to kill the infected, well yes, but the Pit enemies do insanely high damage for some reason. Especially against 'push and pull' units I have so they're dead anyway after one or two hits OR from the poison. The traps do some base damage but then the plague ridden heal it next round from the poison.

Puzzle fights should be fun to figure out. This is just irritating

you don't have enough "stuff".
There are a lot of "things" in the game. Skills that allow you to ignore poison, oils focused on dealing with plague ridden, left hand weapons for various effects, helmet stamps for buffs when debuffed, or buffed, or dealing with dots, etc...
The interesting thing about the arena, is that some battles are easier early, and some are easier later. This seems like something that would be easier later, maybe you haven't found enough "stuff" and the puzzle just isn't possible, because you don't have all the pieces yet.

First look at all the passive of all the opponent
killing something gave you 1 infection, but some ennemy when killed remove all your infection. (hints => rats)
2nd killing more than 3 don't remove your character right away but only when you end his turn so you can kill more than 3 ans remove all the stack before ending your turn
3rd you kill them with dot like burn and bleed and that don't give infection counter.

Fighters get knocked out after they finish their turn if they have 2+ infection debuffs. Doesnt matter how much infection "tokens" you get before ending turn, so wait till you get sourounded and utilise weapons/attacks that kill multiple enemies in one go.

If this is true then I'm an idiot: that's fair, I can be one when I'm unquestionably angry. but if that's also the case its not explained. At first glance the game doesn't tell you that there's something to remove infection just that you get 3 and you're out

So that is how I won, I was thinking the fight was bugged.
