Rot Fly

Rot Fly is a flying melee familiar that spawns as a byproduct of the Rot status effect rather than through conventional summoning. When a unit afflicted with Rot reaches a certain threshold or dies, Rot Flies emerge from the decaying remains. They can appear across all chapters wherever Rot-based affliction strategies are in play, making them an indirect consequence of rot-focused builds and enemies.

As flying units, Rot Flies have freedom of movement across the battlefield, ignoring terrain obstacles and ground-based hazards. They engage in close-range melee combat, darting in to attack before repositioning with their aerial mobility. While individually weak, multiple Rot Flies spawning from heavily rotted enemies or corpses can create a swarm of persistent annoyances that chip away at your cats' health.

The best way to manage Rot Flies is to control Rot itself. Cleansing Rot from your cats before it spawns flies prevents the problem at its source. When Rot Flies do appear, area-of-effect abilities clear them efficiently due to their low health. If you are running a Rot-based build yourself, friendly Rot Flies can serve as disposable scouts and harassers, adding extra damage to the battlefield at no additional cost.
