Hex Throwers behaves similarly to regular Javelin Throwers with the addition of the ability to have one of the longest ranges out of many enemies. Their javelins also produces a curse spot that debuffs any Defenses within the spot's range, reducing Defense Power by 50%. This only happens if the projectile has struck a tower or blockade, nothing will be produced if a javelin hits a hero or the floor.

Strategy

Hex Throwers, by nature, are one of the easier Chaos enemies to fight. While they are able to target your towers from afar, they still prioritize Blockades like most enemies, so they are not as much of a threat to non-DPS Blockades in terms of targeting. EV2's Reflect Beam can be very useful for reflecting the javelins, as well as any other projectiles to keep your towers alive. If you don't have EV2, avoid clumping defenses around your Blockades as curse spots has enough range to affect any nearby defenses.

Be wary of Hex Thrower activities in maps (such as Throne Room or Embermount Volcano etc.) where cores are happened to be positioned in places that can potentially be easily sniped at due the throwers' long range of attack. To solve this, either utilize spawn-camping strategies to eliminate Hex Throwers early or go for wrapping the cores with Reflect Beams to prevent any unexpected snipes.
