Hero Profile: Hexe Marie




Immortal Witch - Year 122

Belmorn, the last king of Hexe Kingdom, always had her by his side. Many rumors of her went around, saying that she is Belmorn's lover or an immortal witch. However, only one thing is known for sure. Her name is "Marie." Hexe fell about 150 years ago, but there are tales claiming they've sighted her even till this day.


| Difficulty

★★★★★

| Combat Style

Hexe Marie is a Hero that wields a scythe and fights by summoning Shamanic Tree with inherent skill (RMB) to hunt and convert monsters into her minions. She can temporarily move in air while sprinting and excels fighting from afar due to her several long-range skills.

Her melee combat capabilities are bit lacking but once she garners sufficient skeletal minions, she can be very difficult to approach. She can order minions to explode themselves near enemies or to combine into a stronger minion.


To summon a minion, first summon the Shamanic Tree with Wicked Sorcery (RMB) and kill an enemy that is chained to the Tree to take their soul.

Several minions can spawn depending on the types of slain enemies and stronger enemies will spawn higher level minions.

When Sacrificial Offering (4) is used, the summoned minons explode to damage nearby enemies and if there are 2 Level 1,2 minons of same type, the minons will combine to transform into a higher level minion.

Level 3 or higher minions will reappear right away even when they explode.

Hexe Marie can have up to 10 minions at a time and in order to strengthen her army, she must carefully consider which minions to combine for a higher minion and which minons to expend when using Sacrificial Offering (4).
