Combat encounters in Darkest Dungeon II may sometimes be affected by Battle Modifiers (or Disadvantage, or Enemy Advantage) that increase the difficulty of combat. Various mechanics, including Loathing, the Flame level, and Region Modifiers, affect the probability of a Battle Modifier occurring.

If a Battle Modifier is active, a corresponding icon will appear at the start of the combat. Like Ordainment, Battle Modifiers do not affect Lair bosses.
