Hex Throwers behaves similarly to regular [[Javelin_Throwers|Javelin Throwers]] with the addition of the ability of having to have one of the longest ranges out of many enemies. Their javelins also produces a curse spot that debuffs any [[Defenses|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.
A single curse spot roughly lasts for about 10 seconds before disappearing. Multiple curse spots produced by different or same Hex Throwers may overlap but does not result in any stacking of the debuff.
==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 [[Defenses#Blockades|Blockades]] like most enemies, so they are not as much of a threat to non-DPS [[Defenses#Blockades|Blockades]]in terms of targeting. [[Series EV2|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 a place where they places that can potentially be easily snipedat due the throwers' long range of attack. To solve this, either utilize spawn-camping strategies to eliminate Hex Throwers early or wrap go for wrapping the cores with Reflect Beams to prevent any unexpected snipes.

* For some reason, Sniper Warbleed uses is using the regular Hex Thrower icon despite having his very own icon already made. Currently the only appearance of Warbleed's original icon is within in a loading screen featuring Chaos enemies in within Expeditions... used as a representation of a regular Hex Thrower.
