Morrow

the Hooded King · 400 Aether

B tier · Grafting without the curse

No one has seen his face. His crow has, and it isn't telling.

Sacrifice rooms never curse the hero that receives the ability, and the back enemy starts Weakened and Marked. The Altar can no longer remove curses.

Edict, Ability and Drawback

Edict

The Sacrifice altar never curses the hero that receives the ability.

Battle ability

Start of battle. The back enemy is Weakened (loses 1 power each upkeep for 2 turns) and Marked (the next attack that damages it deals double).

Drawback

The Altar can only bless; it can't remove curses.

Morrow removes the main downside of Sacrifice rooms. If one is on your way and you have a spare hero, it becomes a very good deal.

They don't appear on every run, though, so don't go far out of your way or build your whole plan around one.

Carrion Crow makes the back enemy take double damage from the next damaging attack, so back-line attackers work well here.
