The Punishing Party is a Tainted Coil first-generation ranged infantry unit.
Story[]
The Punishing Party first appears alongside General Lionwhyte's minions during the mission "Kill Master's Mercy", in which they try to stop Eddie Riggs, Lars Halford and Lita Halford from reaching the Kill Master at the summit of the Thunderhorn.
After Ironheade's three-month hiatus in Death's Clutch, they appear all across the Western Continent in patrols alongside Battle Nuns, mostly on the roads running along the westernmost cliffs, the road from Bladehenge all the way to the foot of Thunderhorn Mountain, and in the desert outside Battersmith. While the Slave is a burly male demon with a short reptilian tail and a small horned head, the Dominatrices are female avian creatures with cloven hooves and whip-like tails.
Role[]
Basic ranged infantry, summoned only through a Battle Nun. Divine and Superior versions available. The Dominatrices are the offensive members, hurling spears at enemies from a distance, while the Slave provides them with 'ammunition', carrying numerous spears in his back.
The Dominatrices are the effective units in this group, as killing all of them results in the Slave killing himself. The Slave does not attack either, so he can more or less be ignored unless Doviculus is double-teaming with him.
In the event the Slave is killed before all the Dominatrices are, the remaining Dominatrices move and attack faster for 20 seconds.
Double Team[]
Ridable infantry. Doviculus jumps atop the Slave and is able to manually throw spears at a target.
This is a rapid-firing attack that targets a single enemy. Like the Razor Girl double team attack, the player can use the target lock trigger for precise aiming in a group of targets. The Dominatrices will also follow Doviculus and the Slave around while they are double teaming.
