git gud (also known as using flagellant)

>>182590390
Isn't that like the only strategy against him?
His damage is just too huge without debuffing it.

>>182591429
just don't think she's particularly good there because breakthrough brings her output too low and iron swan can't hit anything but the bomb

yawp is good but it's also being used so often it hurts more than it helps to just chop through bandits, it's about the only boss besides the shrieker where i don't find that great of a use for yawp

i'd rather a leper plus man at arms for guarding and i'm not sure rank 3 hellion is a thing, though i suppose rank 3 man at arms would work

>>182591835
2bh I forgot all about vulf, I agree with using leper. flagellant is still pretty good there, though, and rank 3 man-at-arms is alright, so vestal/maa/flag/lepster should be alright

>>182591746
No, there's also dodge-protect which uses MAA and/or HM to both guard the person about to take damage and dodge the damage. A shuffle comp can also work by stacking prot or dodge and moving those characters under the rubble.

The triple OCC + Leper is the best for killing the pews and taking no rubble damage though. It's weaker for flat-out killing the boss because you take a lot of blight and stress damage. You also can't stun him.

>>182594210
Cove is the easiest one due to their champion not having any crazy gimmicks like buffing allies damage, preventing healing skills, or just raw damage output from CRIPPLE THEM. Obviously you should focus them down and you should have more than a single character that can target the back two rows. Shuffle them, move them, or what ever you need to do to get them in damage range if they aren't in range. Man at Arms is good if you have any squishy guys. I was using him to guard the Jester I was trying to level up when I encountered two fights with the Skiver.

Also don't do champion dungeons torchless your first try, the game will try to shit on you hard from the first fight.

>>182594615
Do people actually have issues with the Boner Bearer? The only instance where I find him a threat is when he spawns with two Lancers in the front ranks and they spam Impale while getting buffed. Otherwise he's a joke and usually ends up dooting Bone Rabble.

The retreat button's there for a reason, you should use it.

>What buildings do I upgrade first?
The first few stagecoach upgrades are your biggest priority early on. After that you'll want as many blacksmith and guild upgrades to keep your heroes competitive when you get to more challenging dungeons.

>Should I even invest in hero skills?
Absolutely, for the good ones at least.

>How do I get more heirlooms?
Do more dungeons, and prioritize them over gold. You can trade for the heirlooms you want in the hamlet too.

As an aside, do medium/long quests whenever possible instead of short ones. Camping gives you much needed time to recover and buff your heroes, and the increase in dungeon length gives you more opportunities to get loot.

You play it very carefully.

>What buildings do I upgrade first?
>Should I even invest in hero skills?
Upgrade the carriage first, then blacksmith, then guild. You need as many options in adventurers as you can get. As you upgrade the Blacksmiths weaponry and armor you can upgrade the carriage to give you higher level adventurers.

>This is so hard ;_;
Learning the strengths and weaknesses of the enemies with each part of the estate is very important when building team composition.

You don't want to bring a bleed team to the Cove for example since the fish are very resistant to it, but rather blight and a strong back two rows. Same goes for Ruins since it has so many skellies that are immune.

Speed is king, and stun is queen. You want to disable as many enemies as possible since RNG can make or break a run.

>How do I get more heirlooms?
Heirlooms can be found in the loot from dungeons, from curios specifically. Using specific items with curios will produce guranteed positive effects, and there are unique curios to each part of the estate that require their own items to activate for those positive benefits. don't read book curios, don't use a torch on shambler altars

Trinkets are another aspect that can make or break your team at higher levels. Stun and plague chance buffs are super useful on a PD for example. Remember, RNG can be in your favor or absolutely FUCK you. Stack the odds in your favor.

It helps an absolute shite ton to use a guide for the different curios effects, and I think most agree that the game is hair-pullingly hard without that since so much is already frustrating when going in blind.

Just be patient, and remember that brimming overconfidence can quickly lead to devastation.

It's better to get as many of those out of the way as soon as possible on apprentice dungeons, though. The stakes are lower since you haven't spent much gold on your heroes yet, and the boss is much easier than he is late-game.

FUck you all. I'm not using cheats. Maybe it didn't happen like that but you have to admit the game is way too hard and things like that happen constantly and it's bullshit.

>>182610513
I have been managing my party but sometimes, the game feel really unfair, when your party is constantly missing and they are constantly getting crits.

At least i'm struggling enough to upgrade shit and get money. But so far, i'm just dumping the chumps that end up getting too much stress due to awful luck

I really shouldn't have installed crimson court either, this shit spread across my hamlet, and now i have to deal with getting infected almost every fucking quest. How do i even feed blood to someone who is on my bench craving and dying?

>>182612505
>>182612704
Not just two, he summons enough mosquitoes to fill up every empty slot in his party. If you kill every enemy but him and let him run away, he'll summon four mosquitoes.

>>182612980
Yes, Shamblers will always drop an ancestral map, bottle, candle, tentacle idol, or scroll, no matter the difficulty of the dungeon. If you have all five of his trinkets he'll just give you normal loot.

>>182613598

>>182613718
I wouldn't mind the other way desu, but healing 0 seems to happen so often... I had happen 3 times in a row WITH bleeds

Want to share with you guys a good comp of mine for Torchless Runs.

- P1: Jester.
+ Skills: Finale + Dirk Stab/Solo + Stress Heal + Speed buff/Harvest/Slice Off.
+ Trinkets: Moon Ring + Cresendo Box. Can swap Cresendo Box for damage or something else you want.
- P2: Occultist.
+ Skills: Stab + Heal + Stun + Pull/Weaken Curse.
+ Trinkets: Moon Ring + Stun Cauldron.
- P3: Abomination
+ Trinkets: Moon Ring and Ancestor's Pen. Can swap Ancestor's Pen for something else if you are not playing Stygian/Bloodmoon.
- P4: Plague Doctor
+ Skills: Frontline Blight/Bleed + Cure Blight/Bleed + Double Stun + Corpse Clear.
+ Trinkets: Blas Vial + Shrieker's Feather that +4 SPD. Can swap the +4 SPD for anything else that +SPD or Stun Vial if your Plague Doctor is good enough.

Generally, if the positions are shuffled not too bad (Abom to P4 and PD to P1), you can handle most things (even kill two, three Shamblers with Abom's Rake and Ancestor's Pen). Normally, you will not transform Abom that much, only if you must handle a champion mobs. After you kill your enemies, transform back and use Absolution. Occultist heals and stab if necessary, stun if you want Abom heals himself. Jester delete the third row and stress heals. Plague Doctor stun and cures blight/bleed if there are any.

>>182614750
Finale use to auto kill most enemies, and severely damage tough ones at the start of the battle.

>>182614750
>But, I see him get shit on here all the time. Where's the beef?
The problem is he is the worst class in the game. His bleeds aren't strong. Solo as a one per battle debuff is a joke. Dirk stab is merely okay. Finale isn't worth the build up(it can't even crit) and if I'm going to stack herbs to get rid of terrible self debuffs it will be for someone like the Hellion. His buffs are good but not good enough to make up for everything else.

>>182614395
Oops. Sorry. I forgot it. I pirated the game and still using pre-nerf Jester.

>>182615757
>(it can't even crit)
that's where you're wrong kiddo

>>182614750
he's got subpar damage, awkward position requirements for harvest and slice off, solo is absolute garbage (compare it to m@a's bolster, for example), he's extremely squishy, and his one redeeming quality, using finale to 1-shot pos 3 on first turn, was gutted by red hook. now he's just a stress heal bot.

>>182613952
Do you normally spend a couple turns building up for finale, or do you just use it on the first turn? And have you have problems with that comp being too squishy?

What is the highest crit you can get without any quirks or buffs? I've seen a few people talk about crit builds but good trinkets that increase crit are extremely scarce.

>>182615914
Unless they changed it again after they nerfed it I remember finale being unable to crit.

One of the big reasons why I love this game is how it can create such interesting stories.
I brought an Occultist, jester and 2 aboms into the Darkest Dungeon, they were my best team. And once one of the abominations become afflicted with Hopelessness, every single turn, almost like a glitch, he used Absolution up until his death.

Well boys i just lost a level 4 houndmaster, level 6 crusader, and a level 4 highwayman to necromancer with my level 6 plague doctor just barely managing to escape.

>>182631210
Typed up a little story in memoriam, I was on the toilet so I had nothing better to do. Fucker was one of my first dudes.

Loran had been a longstanding resident of the Hamlet. His affliction being of great worth in the reclamation of the ancestral lands. He bore the stress and horrors of a hundred journeys, scarring both physical and mental. It was not long until another of his ilk joined Loran, and once the stagecoach brought an experienced mad Arab, and a particularly cheerful Jester, the "Wolf Parade" was formed. It tore through countless brigands and creatures, effortlessly killing necromancers, bandit leaders, and other nightmares. But soon enough, the ugly inevitability of the Darkest Dungeon reared its head. Foolishly, these veterans were sent forth, into the heart of madness.
Kill one shuffling horror, and they could go, but each step lured death, each room brought on the stresses, the insanity of the cosmos. The flesh could fight, but the mind was breaking, Loran had become hopeless, ignoring any semblance of strategy or action, all he did was request Absolution, even as Eldritch horrors clawed at him, even as others attempted to save him, even as his own heart began to break from the terror. He died in that place, begging for forgiveness for either his deeds or what he was.

Make Harvest and Slice Off usable in rank 1 and able to target enemy rank 1.
Change Harvest so that it only targets 1 unit, but picks a random extra target in rank 1, 2, or 3 to also hit (can't hit the same one twice). Similar to how the fishman shaman can sometimes randomly hit an extra target with his stress wave.
Make Battle Ballad and Inspiring Tune usable in rank 2.
Change Solo's damage penalty from -100% to -90%.

There, done. I think less strict positioning and targeting requirements would be the biggest help to him, and the solo change would help him do his job of de-stressing by giving him more possible damaging aoe crits

It should give you a unique quirk called Void Walker that gives you huge bonuses towards killing Eldritch, implying that they literally fought their way out of the Eldritch Void and returned from the dead.

he gets a chance to appear when you bring cursed heroes. Pro Strat is to destroy the fucking Pyre first. He's not the Hag. he has 3 turns so that's 1 more turn the Pyre can burn your hero and that shit adds up.

Fuck running away in this game. Purging the weak is the only way.

anyone here has a guide on the best positive traits to lock in? character specific would be best.

Is there a more updated version to pic related?

>>182644795
Just use your brain my dude

Unconditional straight up stat boosts are the best

Location specific ones can be alright if the class likes going to that area

Food and town related traits are garbage

>>182644795
>basic shit to not do
>cure rabies
is this outdated or do I really want to miss out on 10 ACC in exchange for 15% damage? I'd have more consistent damage when I need it rather than a slight damage boost.

Usually you want to lock traits that are universally good.

Only lock area specific traits if you plan on taking them to that area exclusively. Like locking Unholy Hater/Slayer on a Crusader.

GOD TIER: (highest priority to lock)
anything that adds speed
beast/eldritch slayer/hater

GREAT TIER: (high priority to lock)
anything that adds damage or crit (assuming the hero has moves that benefit from it)

GOOD TIER: (average priority to lock)
hard skinned
evasive
unyielding
tough

MEH TIER: (low priority to lock or else don't bother locking them)
reduced stress quirks in general
irrepressible
fated (actually means you roll another attack at a 10% chance to hit if you miss, statistically insignificant but still a tiny ass chance)
skilled gambler
camping healing quirks
dungeon specific quirks (adventurer, tactician, scrounger etc)
stress faster
weapon/armor tinker

USELESS TIER: (don't even think about locking them)
back tracker
resist quirks (champion heroes have high base resists that can be even higher than 100% with trinkets)
meditator and nymphomaniac

It depends. Rabies GR is good though.
