By using any offensive combat item, one can consume both a and token as a free action, then proceed to hit the Librarian normally. Like many enemies in The Sprawl, the Librarian has relatively low health, instead relying heavily on and for defense. Many Combat Items are useful against the Librarian. The player may also destroy the Book Stacks, but this is highly dangerous as it reduces the amount of time before the Librarian ignites himself. However, Book Stacks are not immune to, and it is possible to push Book Stacks behind the Librarian in order to reach him. Since the Librarian is immune to, it may be difficult for heroes with low reach to attack him. The player will need a team that can consistently damage every rank as the Librarian marches slowly forward. On average, it takes the Librarian 6 or 7 turns to reach the front because of the random HP pools for the book stacks. Book Stacks serve as an "enrage timer" of sorts, meaning the player ideally ends the encounter as quickly as possible before the Librarian reaches rank 1. The Librarian is a fight that starts slow and ends quickly. That is to say, the player can do up to 14 damage to a stack while remaining on the same "level" of book health. The first action of the Librarian each turn will be to use Page Burner, which reduces a stack's health to the next increment of 15. The Book Stacks that spawn on the field will have a random amount of HP, either 45, 30, or 15. If the Librarian manages to reach rank 1 while any books are still present, he will not Ignite, but instead use Burnout in order to reposition himself. In his Ignited form, he will use Burning Bright every turn. Once the Librarian burns all the book stacks and reaches rank 1, he will use Ignite!. Mandatory Reading does not have a cooldown and is the most commonly used skill and Categorize, on the other hand, has a long 8-turn cooldown. Whenever Page Burner destroys a stack of books he will immediately gain a free action to use Burning Bright, an attack that hits the entire party with physical damage as well as Burn.ĭuring his other 2 actions, the Librarian use either Mandatory Reading to deal damage and apply and, Smokestack to apply and tokens to a hero while giving himself, or Categorize to rearrange the party in alphabetical order. Each round the Librarian will spend his first turn using Page Burner, damaging the books immediately in front of him. The Librarian begins combat at the back of the enemy party the other 3 ranks will be filled with various stacks of books. Should he manage to burn them all down, he will then be able to Ignite himself, freeing up the use of his most powerful ability and threatening to engulf the heroes in the flames as well. Even as he fights the heroes, he continues to feed the conflagration by setting fire to the books around him. Taking advantage of the chaos and smoke created by the fire, he is capable of dealing a large amount of damage, as well as disrupting heroes by "categorizing" them and inflicting blind and vulnerable tokens. The Librarian sits atop a moving ladder, attacking heroes by throwing burning book pages as projectiles. As he destroys the fragile work of countless centuries, he gets closer and closer to his own illumination, ready to set books and flesh alike ablaze. Seeing humanity's knowledge as impious, he has rejected his duty to safeguard knowledge and culture, choosing to immolate the treasures he was charged to both curate and protect. Once dedicated to the preservation of the knowledge within the Great Library, when the denizens of the city surrendered their flesh and mind to the flames, the Librarian fell into their ranks, imposing himself as the zealous leader of the sect, burning his flesh until his bones lay bare. Of all the cultists who make up the Fanatic horde, the Librarian has arguably fallen the furthest of them all.
