Unholy Host


Signature Ability 1:
When Black Dahlia or her opponent TAGS IN, she removes all enemy BUFFS and inflicts CURSE and HEX for 10/15/20 seconds each.

Signature Ability 2:
DRAIN 1/1.5/2% HEALTH per second from the opponent if they are suffering from a DEBUFF.

Palette Reference:
Lady Dimitrescu, one antagonist of Resident Evil Village

suggest some efficient counters of Unholy Host, provided permanent immunity is out of option.
tbh i find it hard to deal with her in holodeck

Double's general kit, between Buzzard to heal block, Bandwagon to hex, and Chaos to inflict hex or heal block among other things, is a reasonable option against wild Unholy Hosts in Holodeck or ones without immunity access. A debuff cleanser in the back can also be a huge help when fighting Unholy Host, as the cleanse effect shuts down Unholy Host's draining while bringing your offense fully online.

Facing Unholy in Holodeck is rough, cuz you're most likely running a solo carry, so the odds are against you that your main is the counter needed to deal with Unholy...do your best and try again?

As for gameplay counters against Unholy ...it may sound obvious...but don't allow tag ins? Aside from disable tag in debuffs, the AI likes to tag out when at low life, so if you can't defeat a fighter by the end of your combo, keep the pressure on, they can't tag if blocking.

And don't use fighters that are buff/SA dependent? Tags will inevitably happen, so have fighters that can do heavy damage without buffs/SAs?

I know in high streaks brute force alone will not cut it. Fighter specific counters will be dependent on what's in your collection; being able to clear your debuffs and give debuffs (hex, block healing) to Unholy will help tip the scales in your favor.

Theory:

If Unholy Host is second, have a Rose inted umbrella in your team, and wait 15 seconds, then force the outtake, and recive unholy host. She will give you curse and hex, but in the next seconds, Umbrella will clean them and you will be free to fight her normally.

Reallity:
You tried to swap opponents but they blocked the outtake, then rose tinted cleared nothing, and unholy host entered and wipped the hell out of you in less than 20 seconds...

I really want this variant.

Question: SA1 says “when Black Dahlia tags in”. Does that only apply to Unholy Host or does it apply to any Black Dahlias in your team with Unholy Host?

It applies to Unholy Host. SAs that target your team in general should usually specifiy 'teammates' in the SA description.

that seems like a good counter. thanks

yes. thats me. betting everything on my solo carry which, most of the time, gets one-shotted in first 10 seconds : ))


so far, feasible counters are:
1. having a buff cleanser teammate
2. have a not-buff-dependent attacker
3. use viable double assets
