Slimed Berserker

• HP: 266 (Ascension: 276)
• Act: Path of Glory
• Passive: None

One of the strongest normal enemies in Path of Glory. 266 HP is monstrous, and it throws a full kit at you: deck pollution, multi-hit, Strength gain, and a massive nuke. You need answers to every phase.

Runs a fixed 4-turn cycle.

Turn 1 dumps 10 Sludge into your deck — cost 1 one-shot cards that deal 3 self-damage when played. In hand they Block plays; leaving them there poisons your draws either way.

Turn 3 Vampiric Embrace stacks 3 Weak on you while giving itself 3 Strength. You lose offense while it gains damage, and Turn 4 Crush reaches 33+ damage with the new Strength.

• Turn 4 Crush (30 base + 3 Strength = 33, or 36 on Ascension) is the peak. Block is top priority across Turns 3-4, because Weak on turn 3 bleeds into your Block output.
• 10 Sludge is serious deck pollution. Playing one loses 3 HP; leaving it clogs hand. Exhaust effects solve it, otherwise eat the 3 HP to clear hand space.
• Vampiric Embrace's Weak + self-Strength double-whammy slows your kill timing while ramping its damage. Conserve Block on that turn for the incoming Crush.
• 266 HP is top-tier for a normal. Drag past 4 cycles (16 turns) and Sludge + Strength overwhelm you. Target 2-3 cycles (8-12 turns).
• Flurry 4×4 (16, or 20 on Ascension) is multi-hit. Thorns hit 4 times per turn — very effective.
• Strength stacks each cycle (3 → 6 → 9…), so Crush balloons to 33 → 36 → 39+. Either scale your damage or shorten the fight.
