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
- 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.
- 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.
