If you were looking for something other than the Plague debuff, see Plague (disambiguation).

Plague is a debuff inflicted primarily by "plagued" enemies in the Jungle as well as weapons dropped by The Plaguebringer Goliath. It causes the target to lose 50 health per second and 5% contact damage as well as emitting large, green particles. When inflicted on a player, the player loses 15 health per second, and 15% damage. Additionally, vision is reduced similarly to the Darkness debuff, and the player emits large, green particles. If an enemy infliced by Plague dies, other enemies up to 6.25 blocks away get infliced with Plague for 5 seconds.

The player can become immune to the Plague while equipping Alchemical Flask, Plaguebringer Carapace, Plague Hive, Plague Reaper Vest, or Toxic Heart.
