Adventure Guide[]
Among the first to give themselves over to the Heartsbane, these siblings have each mastered their own specialized form of magic. Now they seek to obtain greater power through wielding their focusing iris.
Overview[]
Whichever Sister has Focusing Iris gains energy, and when they reach their maximum, they cast Dire Ritual. Inflicting enough damage makes a sister drop the iris, and another sister will pick it up.
Damage Dealers[]

- Move away from your party when affected by Unstable Runic Mark.
- Players affected by Soul Manipulation need to be damaged in order to break the spell.
Healers[]

- Witches attack random party members when not carrying the Focusing Iris.
Tanks[]

- Players affected by Soul Manipulation need to be damaged in order to break the spell.
- When empowered by the focusing iris, each sister uses their primary attack against only you.
