Description

The Mutagenic Blight, internally referred to as Hex Weaver, is a support enemy that appears in Polluted Wasteland II. It has high health, slightly slow speed and 50% defense, reducing most forms of damage by 33%. It is also introduced in its wave as a Boss, giving it the immunities that the modifier includes. The Mutagenic Blight has one ability, Uncontrollable Mutation, where it throws a green orb on the path that applies attributes to other enemies in an explosion range of 5. The explosion applies Bloated or Nimble attributes to enemies. It can not apply attributes to Bosses or other Mutagenic Blights.

The Mutagenic Blight can be spawned by the Nuclear Monster.

Appearance

The Mutagenic Blight has black skin. It wears a grey shirt and shoes, blue pants, dark grey armbands with bloody spikes and dark grey shoulder-pads. It also wears a dark grey animal skull with multiple horns on its head. It holds a turquoise orb in its hands, which it uses to apply attributes to enemies.

It has a death animation where it falls over on its back, its orb falling on its face in the process.

Strategy

• While not a threat on its own, especially considering how multiple enemies at this stage of the mode are significantly stronger than it, its ability to apply buffs to other strong enemies makes it very dangerous.
  • As with most other high-health enemies, DPS towers like the Engineer, Ranger or Accelerator are recommended.
  • Stalling towers can be used to slow down enemies that are given the Nimble attribute.

Trivia

• The Mutagenic Blight is a renamed version of the Hex Weaver.
• The Mutagenic Blight animations and ability are identical to the Hex Weaver and the Fallen Jester.
• Similarly to the Fallen Jester, the Mutagenic Blight has an ignore list of enemies it will not throw its orbs at. However, that list is actually reused from the Hex Weaver, meaning none of the enemies in it can actually be seen.
  • Enemies which can be seen being ignored by the Mutagenic Blight in Sandbox include the Mutagenic Blight itself, Reaver, Reaper and Conjurer.
    • The Reaver did not appear in the Hexscape Event, meaning it is likely just a typo of Reaper.
  • Enemies which no longer appear in any capacity but are still ignored include the Titus, Conserver and Hex's Maw.

Update History

• 19 February 2025 - v1.54.0
  • Mutagenic Blight added.
  • Bug: Mutagenic Blight can completely negate the stalling effects from towers, such as freeze or DJ Booth slowdown, if during the debuff it applies Nimble to the enemy. This will make it walk at its regular Nimble speed while the debuff effects are still on it.
• 5 March 2025 - v1.56.0
  • Health increased from 4,250 to 10,000.
  • Speed decreased from Average (3) to Slightly Slow (2).
  • Defense increased from 30% to 50%.
