Taskmaster

Description

Taskmaster is an Act II elite who fights alongside two Slavers (Red and Blue). He specializes in shuffling Wounds into your discard pile and dealing moderate damage, making slow decks suffer heavily. Keeping up pressure and choosing which enemy to eliminate first (especially the Red Slaver) often decides the battle.

Abilities

Scouring Whip

•

Deals 7 damage and shuffles 1 Wound into the discard pile.

•

At higher Ascension: shuffles more Wounds or gains Strength.

Tips

• Eliminate the Red Slaver early so you avoid its Vulnerable and high attack output.
• Wound cards clog your hand, so cards or relics that exhaust or manage status are very valuable.
• If your deck has strong AOE, weakening or eliminating the Slavers quickly can reduce overall damage intake.

Trivia

Taskmaster was formerly referred to in earlier versions as the Slaver Boss; in the Colosseum event he appears with Gremlin Nob instead. His Wound‑shuffle move punishes decks that rely on low ethical planning or lack of status mitigation. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
