Calamity cards strengthen the enemy's monster deck. Current calamities in effect are shown on the Doom Tracker. The frequency and strength of these cards is a major factor determining game difficulty.
Calamity effects include:
- increasing a monster's health, armor, or damage
- increasing the number of monsters
- adding new types of monsters to battles
- introducing monster abilities that can stun, hobble, or poison heroes
A calamity card is drawn after every battle, win or lose. They also occur at at timed intervals on the overland map; these calamities can be averted by spending legacy points. The frequency of the calamity draw depends on difficulty level.
