Will always start off with the unknown ability, and then attack with inferno. Inferno will always be followed by Sear, which will then be followed by a random combination of Inflame, the unnamed attack, and Sear. Each of these attacks will restore one green flame to the Hexaghost. Once all 6 flames are green again, it will attack with Inferno and then repeat the process above all over again. It is important to try and kill the Hexaghost before it recharges its Inferno attack, as on the second time it may be deadly.

Each attack done by the Hexaghost after its Divider/Inferno attack will charge 1 flame up. Once all 6 flames are active for the second time and further, it will attack with Inferno. The second Inferno and all further Inferno attacks will put 3 [[Burn|Burn+]] cards into your discard pile.

After it has used its Inferno attack, Sear will give the player 1 [[Burn|Burn+]] card instead of the regular [[Burn]]. This deals 4 damage instead of 2. All [[Burn]]s in the players discard and draw pile will be upgraded to [[Burn|Burn+]].

# With most decks the Hexaghost is a battle against time. The damage after the initial Divider is minor, but over time the combination of Inflame with accumulating burn cards will overwhelm you.

Each attack done by the Hexaghost after its Divider/Inferno attack will charge 1 flame up. Once all 6 flames are active for the second time and further, it will attack with Inferno. The second Inferno and all further Inferno attacks will put 3 Burn+ cards into your discard pile.

After it has used its Inferno attack, Sear will give the player 1 Burn+ card instead of the regular Burn. This deals 4 damage instead of 2. All Burns in the players discard and draw pile will be upgraded to Burn+.

Tips

  1. With most decks the Hexaghost is a battle against time. The damage after the initial Divider is minor, but over time the combination of Inflame with accumulating burn cards will overwhelm you. Surviving the Hexaghost is often a matter of killing it before Inferno hits or as quickly as possible after.
  2. Cards and relics which exhaust, transform, or otherwise utilize status cards can significantly reduce the challenge of this battle. Examples: Storm of Steel, Evolve, Fiend Fire, Medical Kit.
