Lore

While many assume that Underminds emerged from the superhot domains of Cryos, no one knows where they actually evolved. Some suspect they're an original product of the Corruptor's mind, constructed gene by gene from a million different species. Whatever their origin, the cunning and craven Underminds inflict damage on those who attack their allies, thus making them highly dangerous to engage. They attack foes with short-range lasers, and also heal their wounded allies.

Strategy

The Underminds are dangerous on their own, and worse when with allies. Plasma Heroes are a liability here, as an Undermind could mortally wound them on a whim.

Tempests are the way to go. Their high Resist help with the burns, and they could attack from afar. Tork's Sporogenesis cleanses the Squad and all Allies of the burns and Energy Vulnerability. WithMeditron, one could wait for the Undermind to have its say, then use Syndrome Shift.

Of course, if a Hero has a piece of gear that renders them immune to Burns, then all this is irrelevant. The Undermind will be rendered useless, allowing you to pick it off at your leisure.
