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.
