Others cause damage too, but have a specific type. I'll leave it as it is now.

What happened to your avatar?

Anyway with this, people will be able to tell the difference between afflictions easier.

Basically, I don't really care which affliction does what damage/Which character uses what kind of affliction.
All you did here is collect the characters using a specific type of affliction. This guide is not helpful at all. But then again, it's just me. Take no offence.

Someone else would find it useful. Thanks for commenting anyway.
