Playing as the bad guy inEvil Dead: The Gameis certainly fun. Even in a loss, it feels like a great chance to get in a few shots and re-create some of the most horrifying events that can happen on screen. With some creativity, players find that they can create some new ones.

For gamers that are interested in adding victory to the fun, that can be an issue. A well-balanced team of survivors inEvil Dead: The Gamecan ruin many strategies by communication and coordination. However, a smart choice as a demon leader can bring even the most tactical teams to ruin.
Effect
Bad Influence
When activated, this skill generates an aura around the demon player for a limited time that increases the power of surrounding evil units. It can only be activated when the demon player is in spirit form but will continue to work if the demon player possesses another unit.
Really Bad Influence I
Enhances the effect of Bad Influence, further improving surrounding units' health, damage ability, and attack frequency as well as increasing the range of the aura.
Really Bad Influence II
Really Bad Influence III
In fairness to the warlord, the balance is very close with all three demons. The only reason she brings up the back here is due to a lack of abilities that change the landscape of the game. All of her units and abilities are focused on deadites and making the deadites stronger.A party consisting of coordinated friendswill have the least trouble with Henrietta’s gang.

To be fair, this isn’t a bad tactic. The deadites themselves aren’t hopping around and don’t do anything special, but Henrietta can make them the toughest basic units to kill. For her, victory is all about whittling down the enemy team with deadites that don’t go down in the normal amount of hits.
Flute To Kill
Increases the bonus damage and defense that the flautist provides to nearby evil units; the flautist cannot move or be possessed.
Skeletons increase the fear level of survivors next to them.
Motivational Music
Increases the bonus damage and defense that the flautist providesto nearby evil units.
Skeletal Injuries
Skeletons increase the damage received by nearby survivors.
Evil Ash is the necromancer demon that leads the pack and he gets a lot of points for diversity. While the other two demon leaders have abilities that only bonus the active ability, the necromancer gets boosts to his regular units and his ability.

It should be noted that his units have shields and those shields greatly limit the useful melee weapons. Ranged attacks also have a chance of getting blocked. Evil Ash’s units don’t have the most damage andplayers from all platformswith careful aim won’t have too much trouble, but if he gets enough units in an area, he can overwhelm the group.
Puppet Master: Power Possess
Units you possess have more health, deal more damage, and their attacks increase fear in their targets.
Puppet Grand Master I
Increases the health and damage improvements granted by the puppet master ability.
Puppet Grand Master II
Puppet Grand Master III
There is really only one thing that needs to be said about why the Puppeteer is at the top. It’s the reasonwinning on the third missionhas driven the community to near mutiny. The elite unit, the Demi-Eligos, is a tanky enemy capable of immense damage with a wide array of abilities that hit at all ranges. Oh, and don’t forget that it can clone itself with seemingly no limit, creating an army of these monsters.
Any player that gets enough infernal regeneration on them will be able to make multiple elites on the field. That is bad news for a team of survivors. Factor in the ability for a player to take control of one of these elites and make it even stronger and teams of survivors may want to think about quitting and starting a new match if this is who they are matched up against.
