Hey everyone! Today we'll be talking about the Anidade, a cloud of ghostly entities that feed on the sanity of the living! But, don’t drive yourself crazy trying to fight them…just read on for all the inside details on these annoying (and horrifying) little buggers.

First up…stats! As a “swarm” type enemy the Anidade isn’t super intimidating stats-wise, but its M. Attack and Agility stats will let them get the drop on slower characters and ensure that their Miasma attack does respectable damage; while they also have a pretty decent M. Defense stat, their HP is so low that this shouldn’t matter too much as long as you are able to do a type of damage they aren’t immune to. Their Max AP is high enough to let them rely on their special attacks for several rounds in a row, and their Attack and Defense stats, while low, don’t really matter all that much to this enemy.

The Anidade’s special qualities, while annoying, are extremely straightforward…their special attacks however can cause problems, since the Anidade tend to attack in groups. One hit from Confuse may not bother you much, but when you start having multiple chances per turn to have characters attacking each other, the fight can quickly get out of hand. Their Miasma ability is capable of dealing respectable damage to the entire party, but (thankfully) the “Blind” chance shouldn’t be a problem, since you can’t deal physical damage against them anyway.

If you are unprepared the Anidade can really become a problem, since they start showing up at a point where you may not actually have access to any other strong Kinesis users besides Gregory. His only effective attack at lower levels is the basic Pyro ability, which means you may end up spending multiple rounds trying to kill them one at a time while their buddies whittle you down. If you have any Molotovs or Unstable Batteries, they should easily dispatch an entire group with a single toss; otherwise you better hope you have some elemental charms or weapons that add new Kinesis skills!

I'll be trying to get some more valuable monster info out soon, so try to stay out of trouble until then, alright? After all, the Deadlands are a dangerous place!
