Evil Genius 2 Complete Henchmen List Guide

Abilities
Reroute Power
Apply trait
IRIS takes reduced damage for a short time, and rapidly heals any damage she has already taken.
Cost: 2 Morale per Second

Security Network Link

When activated, Iris functions as a security camera for a short duration. This can summon guards.
Cost: 1 Smarts per Second

Abilities
Flow
Apply trait
Jubei focuses his years of training, channeling his energy with each sequential hit causing increased damage while active.
Cost: 50 Smarts

Windwalk
Targeted – Floor
Jubei becomes one with the wind and teleports to a targeted location. Just like the wind can teleport
Cost: 25 Morale

Notes: The ability to quickly teleport to combat and back out to rest makes Jubei a very strong combat choice. His Flow ability lets him hit for very high damage letting him quickly deal large amounts of dps after arriving. At high level against strong groups Jubei will struggle due to his focus on single target damage and no self heal. He can however spawn kill some super agents and other mission related enemies as they get off their boats saving a lot of time and dead minions!

Abilities
Food Poisoning
Interaction – Person
Fugu presents an Agent with a delicacy that leaves them with food poisoning.
Cost: 35 Smarts

Blowfish Explosion
Fugu hurls and explosive blowfish at a target. This leaves a poisonous gas cloud in place.
Cost: 40 Morale

Notes: Fugu seems like a sub par choice to a degree but her secret ability makes her well worth it. She grants access to a special heat reduction mission in certain regions. The mission costs nothing, completes in 30 seconds, and takes off -75 heat. It also spawns so quickly you can easily prevent a region from ever going into lock down at zero cost. She also grants access to another mission for setting up new shops which grants good money but does cost intel and minons. She can also do decent damage in combat and both of her abilities are okay, Food Poisoning more so than the riskier and friendly fire prone Blowfish Explosion however.

Abilities
Magic Trick
Perform trick
This trick draws in a large number of Tourists and Agents and deals Resolve Damage.
Cost: 3 Smarts per Second
Misdirection
Toggle Trait
Incendio uses his magic to fade into the background, hiding himself from Tourists who plague your Cover Operation.

Notes: Incendio burns down every object in your cover operation during the first part of his quest line so be warned. Once reciuited he acts as a deception minion entertaining guests and agents draining their stats at a higher than normal rate without player direction. His ranged attacks have very high knock down (which can hit friendlies) and have a chance to light things on fire. This means Incendio has a bad habit of destroying objects around him while in combat which can be very annoying because minions will not automatically replace the items.

Abilities
Silver Revolver
Equip Item
Eli loads his trademark Silver Revolver, equipping a powerful ranged lethal weapon with six uses.
Cost: 80 Morale
Silver Tongue
Interaction – Person
Eli transfixes his opponent with his charm. His stats regenerate as he deals Resolve damage to the target.

Imperfect Replica
Construct furniture
The Master Forger creates loot replicas so subtly different any Rogues will have a tough time knowing the difference.
Cost: 30 Smarts

Notes: I have seen some others online claim Carl has low damage, I was unable to reproduce this. He seemed to hit for about 45 damage when tested although he is very much not front line combat material. He also seems to lack a ranged option opting instead to beat people to death with his pimp cane.
