They’ll be eager to shield the witch from arrows with their bodies, and not think twice about hacking their comrades to pieces in order to protect their beloved. To the ensorcelled, the Hexe no longer appears as an old crone, but a youthful lady with radiant beauty for which they will gladly obey every command. A strong-willed individual can resist with a successful resolve check, but otherwise they’re doomed to have their senses warped and to fall under the spell’s dominion for several turns until the effect wears off. The first one is called ‘Charm’ and works like this: From her shriveled lips, the crone blows one of your men a seductive kiss to bewitch their mind. With her sorcery, a Hexe can enthrall wild beasts, and even warp the mind of humans, and so will often be found in the company of creatures that serve her. Their huts may or may not be made of candy. They lure and abduct little children to make broth and concoctions out of, they strike terrible pacts with villagers to receive their firstborn, they weave curses and cast hexes. They’re burned at the stake, and yet people seek them out to plead for miracles. They’re feared, but also worshipped by some.

They’re human, but have long sacrificed their humanity for otherworldly powers. The Hexe is a witch inspired by Grimm’s fairy tales, a malevolent old crone living in swamps and forests outside of villages alone or in a coven with other Hexen. It’s the first of two upcoming spellcaster type opponents we’re adding, and intended for spicing up the mid to late game. To start things off, we’ll be taking a look at the Hexe today. Some will be magical creatures, and some plain beasts, but all of them will come with their own unique mechanics to challenge you. Some of them will be pretty complex to fight, and others more straight-forward.

We’re going to introduce new opponents to cover the early, mid and late game.

The upcoming ‘Beasts & Exploration’ DLC will add a variety of new beasts and related creatures to the world of Battle Brothers.
