{{ rpd:images:hero_mage_warlock.png|Warlock Subclass Sprite }}

**Warlock** is a hero subclass for the [[en:rpd:mage_class|Mage]] class in Remixed Dungeon. After killing an enemy, the Warlock consumes its soul, which heals wounds and satisfies hunger.

> **Note:** This page describes the **hero subclass** for the Mage class. For the enemy mob also called Warlock, see [[en:rpd:warlock_mob|Warlock (Mob)]].

==== Description ====
After killing an enemy, the _Warlock_ consumes its soul. This heals his wounds and satisfies his hunger. This unique ability allows the Warlock to sustain themselves in the dungeon by defeating enemies, making them a self-sufficient subclass that can recover from battles.

==== Abilities ====
  * **Soul Consumption:** After defeating an enemy, the Warlock consumes its soul (source: [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/res/values/strings_all.xml#L1008|strings_all.xml:1008]])
  * **Healing Effect:** Soul consumption heals wounds sustained in combat
  * **Hunger Satisfaction:** Soul consumption satisfies the hero's hunger, reducing the need for food items
  * **Sustainable Combat:** The Warlock can potentially fight for longer periods without external resources

==== Playstyle ====
The Warlock playstyle focuses on:
  * **Aggressive Combat:** Actively seeking out enemies to consume their souls
  * **Self-Sufficiency:** Reducing reliance on healing items and food by using defeated enemies
  * **Sustained Battles:** Maintaining health and satiation during longer dungeon runs
  * **Resource Recycling:** Converting enemies into healing and satiation resources

==== Equipment Synergy ====
  * Works well with weapons that can quickly defeat enemies for soul consumption
  * Benefits from items that increase damage output for faster kills
  * Effective with equipment that enhances survivability during combat
  * Class-specific armor: [[en:rpd:warlock_armor_item|Warlock Armor]] (obtained via [[en:rpd:armor_kit_item|Armor Kit]])
