Another way to deal with Ucas is to use protection debuffs, such as Houndmaster's Target Whistle. It is also highly recommended to bring bandages as well. A Plague Doctor is an excellent choice for dealing with this enemy as she can cure the bleed with her Battlefield Medicine ability and can also use her attacks to inflict blight and/or stuns.

The best strategy when facing Ucas is to keep to try and keep them stunned (be warned that they do have a reasonably high Stun resistance) while stacking blight to bypass their armor and quickly whittle down their health. To make matters even worse, Ucas have a large HP pool and a very high protection stat, making them very difficult and time consuming to bring down. While it does very little direct damage (around 1 to 3), it causes a catastrophic amount of bleeding: 8 Damage per round on Veteran levels and 10 on Champion! Even worse is that the effect can stack, causing a staggering 16 or 20 bleed damage per round! This, coupled with the fact that Arterial Pinch inflicts a debuff that reduces healing received, can quickly result in a hero being brought to Death's Door or even killed if left untreated. However, it is their other ability, Arterial Pinch, that you need to watch out for. Their Tidal Slam ability possess a fairly decent critical chance and is capable of stunning and knocking your front row heroes to the back ranks, effectively disabling them for several turns.

While the Uca deals very little direct damage, unlike most other Large enemies, they make up for it with the sheer chaos they can cause. The Uca Major is Eldritch-type and the Large enemy of the Cove.
