While the game doesn’t list Dragon Plague as a status effect, there are still ways to identify if a piece in your party is carrying the disease. You can’t tell if a piece is infected before hiring it, but once you hire an infected piece, the Dragon Plague tutorial will pop up on the screen. If you want to avoid infecting your own pieces, you need to fire recently hired pieces as quickly as possible.

The eyes also twitch subtly every few seconds.Some players have also report Infected pieces will cover their heads or kneel in pain when idle.
As the disease progresses, infected pieces become more reckless in combat, as if they are driven by some kind of bloodlust. Then they will start disobeying orders and start saying things like “Don’t tell me what to do!” There’s no indication of how long it will take for a piece to become infected to turn into a dragon and wipe out a town, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and fire the infected piece as quickly as possible. If your main pieces are infected, the only way to cure them is to kill them by throwing them into water, or letting them die in combat and then summoning them from the rift. Some players also reported that once they infected another piece in another player’s game, the main piece was cured.
While we still know nothing about Dragon Plague, it’s clear that the best way to prevent this disease is to keep a close eye on your pieces.
