Plague Rat of Doom

Plague Rat of Doom Strategy

You have a 50% chance of success with PSI Flash against Plague Rat of Doom, and if you have PSI Flash γ or PSI Flash Ω, you have a reasonable chance of a one-hit kill. If you don't get it within two or three turns, though, you might not want to bother with it.

The Plague Rat of Doom likes to inflict poison on your allies, so you might want to bring some healing items with you so that you can focus your PSI efforts on attacks instead of healing.
