Plague Doctor
Plague Doctor: roles, tradeoffs, and a practical party-building checklist.
Overview
The Plague Doctor pressures enemies with blight and rear control. Battlefield Medicine can remove allies' bleed and blight. Backup healing and effect removal alone do not sustain every long mission.

| Content | Base game |
| Main roles | Blight, stun, and effect removal |
| Main limitation | Backup healing and effect removal alone do not sustain every long mission. |
Build a plan, not a tier-list slot
Compare enemy resistances and prioritize interruption when it prevents more damage than a damage-over-time action. Before entering, answer three questions: who removes a dangerous backline enemy, who keeps a wounded ally alive before their next turn, and who restores a displaced formation? If this hero cannot cover one of those needs, assign it to another party member. A strong individual skill is not enough when the other heroes lose their actions after its movement.
Before the expedition
- Compare enemy resistances and prioritize interruption when it prevents more damage than a damage-over-time action.
- Check usable ranks and target ranks for each equipped skill in your current game version.
- Choose four combat skills for this expedition; do not assume every unlocked skill is equipped.
- Recheck trinkets, skill upgrades, and the party's formation after movement.
