Build Tips
The best support in the game and the cheapest S-tier pick by far — it needs neither a Demonic mutation nor upgrades to earn its slot. Raise Skeleton Archers summons two free bodies each wave, and its aura gives melee allies +15% ATK and +20% DEF.

Support Tips
- Support auras stack with guards and melee — one support can buff an entire frontline row.
- Cursed Acolyte is the first two-slot support worth saving for once Population II unlocks.
- Supports rarely need Demonic mutation to earn their slot — base stats and aura effects carry most of the value.

Unit FAQ
Do mutations change this unit's abilities?
No. Mutations only multiply ATK and HP — active abilities, passives, and Range stay the same. A Cursed or Demonic copy hits harder and survives longer but keeps the same skill set. See the mutation variant table above for exact numbers.
What does population Cost mean on the unit card?
Population Cost is the number of slots this minion consumes when deployed. Your total slots come from Skill Tree nodes like Population I and II. A two-slot support like Cursed Acolyte needs Population II unlocked before you can field it.
When should I spend Souls on this unit?
Spend Souls on units already in your active layout — not bench picks. Cheap starters (1–10 Souls) are fine to buy directly. For expensive units, batch mutation rolls during Cursed Moon when odds double, and compare DPS per population Cost in the Unit Value Calculator before committing.
