Originally published at: [A New Mythic Approaches – Plague – Gems of War](http://gemsofwar.com/a-new-mythic-approaches-2/) Don’t Starve! **New Mythic Troop: Plague** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/1/1ca53b6a8226c6f7722eaecf47af0f21ce37557c.png) ](http://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/blog_plague.png) A third horseman has arrived! Plague is here! From the mysterious hidden kingdom, Apocalypse, another rider has appeared. Plague is much-feared by all the mortal races, for not only does he carry regular diseases with him, but he also inflicts a terrible wasting sickness upon all who behold him, where they slowly wither and die. Plague will be the ONLY Mythic Troop available in chests for the next 7 days, so now is a great chance to make sure he’s on your team (after 7 days, War & Famine will be rejoining him in chests). He is available in Glory Chests, Gem Chests (10x Chance), and VIP Chests (100x Chance, for VIP players only). Please note this Troop is currently only available to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.

It’s slow, but killing the enemy with traits instead of skulls or magic feels pretty good! ---

Nevermind. I see the graphic only showed for one troop the others had a different stat affected. ---

Took me 11k glory keys and 150 VIP chests for just one. Luckily all this provided me with enough of the right traitstones to fully trait Mr. Plague. ---

I _think_ I just had Plague’s ability reduce all enemy magic but leave one unscathed… need to test more. ---

Plague doesn’t affect the same stat across the board. 3 could be magic but the last could have been armor ---
