Murderer

"A failure."
Murderer is the Failure of Nadia. It may appear in a Failure encounter if Nadia was present in a defeated party. Like all Failures, its stats will change to match its corresponding Hero, including improvements from Training and Runes.

Murderers ought to be priority targets, as, like Nadia, they are effective Mitigators. If they are not alongside other Failures with protective abilities such as Coward and Fool, they will prioritize protecting vulnerable allies with Smoke Screen.
Nadia herself is effective at countering Murderers, as her own high Speed will let her match their quick turns. Her own Venom Strike is effective at wearing them down even under Riposte or protection from other Failures; Flashbang can tilt the action economy in your favor by delaying their substantial amount of turns; and Assassin's Blade can quickly finish off a weakened Murderer before it can use Riposte.
Because Murderers have low Armor but can evade all damage with Riposte, it is wise to take them out quickly with a focused assault, before they can use Riposte or build up poison with Venom Strike.
Note that damage-over-time effects can hurt targets without triggering Riposte, so it may be possible to safely wait out the clock if you inflict heavy DoT early.
Area attacks such as Zhu's Blaze are highly effective against Murderers, because they ignore the untargetable effect of Smoke Screen and will not trigger Riposte.
Healing abilities such as Ephrem's Healing and Hildie's Purge are useful for mitigating the poison from Venom Strike, which can inflict a lot of damage if left unchecked.
