The Jester can also be counted on for inflicting bleed to multiple enemies, if he's not busy buffing and relieving Stress. The Hellion and Flagellant are also frontliners of choice due to their bleeding attacks. Both these heroes are also capable of inflicting bleed across the enemy party, and can benefit off each other's marking abilities. Great hero choices in this area include the Bounty Hunter and Houndmaster for their damage bonuses against the numerous Human and Beast type enemies.

It's also worth noting that due to the type of map layouts common here, scouting is more useful here than in other location (3x4 quadrilaterals can be almost fully scouted on first room entrance). The most commonly encountered enemy type is Beast, with many of the enemies having a secondary Human typing. In terms of their defenses, enemies here tend to be highly resistant to blight, but still vulnerable to bleed. Heroes proficient in scouting and resistant to disease can be invaluable for reasons noted below. Any hero capable of stress relief is recommended as the Warrens have more dedicated stress-damage enemies than any other location.
