Whoah theres a lot of micro management in this game

Knai, you never know how many horror marks you get from one horror mark attack iirc.

And Umor has horror mark attacks himself, each astral claw attack also horror marks. And trying to hit Umor also horror marks you. And as you need to kill Umor 3 times, and he has true ethereality. (ALL attacks have 75% chance of missing) one battle with Umor means you are now horribly horrormarked.

And perhaps 6 horror marks was just enough. You got unlucky. It sucks but happens.

(Even more when astral corruption is up. In bootcamp my pretender was attacked by a doom horror without him even having horror marks).
