Revenge is only good for boss fights. Withstand and Solemnity are situational if you need him to recover. If you buff his accuracy and damage with trinkets and quirks, you can start letting him swing the moment it's his turn; no need for him to pre-buff. Normally I slap a sun ring on him then decide whether I want speed, prot or damage. Ancestor's signet is pretty good on him too.

Are you modding like the trinkets? The heads? Or the standalone PBD Features? PBD Trinket Wagon is so much better than vanilla by the fact you can actually buy trinkets early game. The Wagon exclusive trinkets help too.

If I remember right there's nothing that blights you in DD1, so you don't need antidotes either. DD2, DD3, and DD4 are another story, though.

Food, torches, holy water, herbs, and every bandage you can buy.

tl;dr characters who cleared DD easily can barely make progress in CC.
>>183348090
That sucks but it's winnable if you have good camping skills and you riposte like a madman.
>>183346067
What stops bandits from getting stressed?

Friendly reminder that every person you send to die in the Darkest Dungeon will be made immortals that are pleasure slaves to pain and suffering for the sadistic denizens that live there.

I lost 3 people to apprentice prophet and didn't even get afflicted in DD2, is he imbalanced too? CC wasn't designed to be easy in the slightest, do recall there's no difference between "Darkest" and "Champion" difficulty.
>Tree Branch Smackdown

>Occultist didn't 0 bleed him either
>>183348403
It's almost as if DD and CC are separate dungeons and require different strategies for easy clearing. Dodge is inherently inconsistent and will fuck you over eventually if relied on too much. Chevalier stun chance is trash-tier, it's just bad luck for the double hit to actually land one, much less two.
>>183349304
I had already camped. BUT
WE DID IT LADS
Sadly lost the occultist to bleed + attack by defensive growth after the horror had died. But I'll accept this victory.
>>183349553
Iunno, maybe you suck at fighting the prophet but you learned how to play by DD2.
I did get good rolls that run-- a virtue and surviving a death's door hit. It's just harder to put a dent in CC, and they punish you hard for not killing them quick.
Manservant is an upgrade to rapturous cultist. Chevalier hits as hard as ascended brawler at any rank, bleeds as hard too, hits multiple targets, and causes stun.
>>183349960
Congrats mate.
>>183349960You missed an ancestral trinket.
>>183349920
For DD I used a marking party and for CC I usedBlood For The Blood God. I just get the feeling the devs intended CC to be cleared one room battle at a time.
>>183349961
Firstly no, the prophet stunned my occultist 3 times in a row despite all stun resistance to the contrary.
Shitloads of people had beaten the game by the time crimson court came out, why wouldn't new content be intended to be more challenging than old, completed content? If anything you should be asking for the DD to get buffed since the mobs and challenges there are largely a joke with the right team comp. Rapturous cultists are just a source of free healing and everything is easily stunnable.
>>183350360
Ah well. Chase two sparrows and all that
>>183350383
>no vestal
>no jester
>one source of stuns, that can't stun the backline, and will be largely wasted on supplicants and manservants
>depending on dodge for an endurance mission
The second my whole team for the curse I realised all the mobs there are largely complete jokes besides the Esquire. I bet half your fuckers had feather crystals too.
Use this comp, CC will no longer be an issue.
>>183350770
My favorite vestal died on an earlier CC run.It was my fault. ;_;And jester is a joke now. He might be good in CC as a mid-rank bleeder, but my houndmaster and hellion can stress heal enough from camping.
But you're probably right; I should focus on stuns more next run.
I didn't use feather crystals but I had the ancestor's coat, not that it matters.
>>183351674
Why not? With a mark you can gib at least 1 monster like a chevalier or esquire at round start and with a lucky crit even 2.
All HM keep a self heal, the frontline one a stun, backline ones can stress heal and there's a few guards and the flag around to make sure nobody actually dies.
>>183350950
>no herbs
>garlic on Flag
The moment one Chevalier touch you the party ends
>>183343376
no
few situations where you want to stall or would rather have him self heal while your healer does something else
if i got all the non-shambler ancestor trinkets is there a reason to look for the bags in the Vvulf and DD missions?
>>183351886
They don't because I always killed them in 1 turn.
And when there were two the flag did enough damage absorbing with eating up the bleeds.
That one death's door debuff you see was a chevalier crit from an encounter with 2 followed by sycophants. So the risk is still there of course.
As a new player it's very easy to underestimate the value of good camping skill set ups.

WHAT THE FUCK DD.
Journal entries would legit be better if they didn't take inventory space. I bet a ton of people don't pick them up cause they don't have gameplay use. Red Hook is literally having their work thrown away because of a dumb decision.
>>183345221
Trinkets and heads but it's taking forever.
>>183354232
I think there was a point I'd pick them up but as supplies take up more space and I'm trying to gather money/heirlooms they fall by the wayside.
I mean, why the fuck would I want a piece of text over 1750/2500 gold, a bunch of gems or some deeds? And they sure as hell aren't worth more than food, bandages, antivenom or torches.
Oh. So he's just sort of fucking there now, huh?

>>183341092
Noob question
Is it possible to get all Courtyard trinkets after you finish killing the Countess?
>>183353516
bleeding out
>>183355924
Yes, you have to kill the Stone Guardian over and over.
The guardian itself will give you a CC trinket and the quest reward will give you another. Plus you can hit jackpot and get some CC trinkets in normal fights or in curios
>>183355348
In all fairness those bandits are kind of a joke without Vvulf
First time taking on the cannon I was pissing myself because the collector left me half dead and half the party one pip from full stress. Then my GR crit the cannoneer every single time he was called in. This happened so often it reduced everyone's stress to nothing by the time I finally killed it.
Is there some kind of stat that makes something more likely to be critted or something? Like a hidden luck stat or something? It was fucking ridiculous.
What should my DD2 team be composed of, so I can work to build it
>>183356138
I have created a shuffle team of 2 Grave Robbers, a Highway Man and a Jester.
I have one Novice Grave Robber who keeps critting for 25+ damage and I might waifu her.
>>183356138
if there is, then there's something that works in the opposite fashion because I've had heroes with 25% crit rates go the entire dungeon without critting a single time
>>183353516
Do not fuck mosquitoes
>>183356239
How do you heal? Not even any camp healing in that comp.
I can do either the countess or DD3.
What should I do? I'm just standing around with extreme anxiety and fear.
>>183356868
>cropped
This is not normal.
>>183357125
probably high dodge/speed/crit and relies on killing everything first and avoiding damage entirely
>>183357125
Just do shorts, they're level 1~2 novices with trinkets. They don't need healing.
>>183357125
you take extra food and eat between battles
short low level missions, since that wont go too well in higher levels
>Up to -150% damage
>Still can hit for 9
So is the bonus damage from Marks calculated before damage reduction debuffs but then added after? Because it's weird.

Bank was a trap for me.
I thought it was going to let me focus more on getting heirlooms but I quickly got used to having extra money and buying a lot of upgrades, fixing mental illness and locking in quirks. I became obsessed with getting my money to 200,000 so I could rely on 10K a run, only to then become obsessed with upgrading and locking in every single thing I found even somewhat desirable.
I still wonder at what point it applies the 5% increase, I keep finding a few hundred gold disparity between what I think it should be, and all the variables of what it could be.

There aren't. A lot of custom classes go overboard with effects just to be different or are straight up upgrades of existing classes because of how modders use those said classes as a base, but dont ever account for simplicity.

When you have 200k+ you can always pick up one or two fanfictions per run, there's only 22 of them anyhow.
Btw, there IS a stand-alone 1/22 paper, isn't there? Since I begun playing again I found 1-3 journals per run (as opposed to a total of 3 journals in 140 weeks played, at release last year) but now I'm only missing that first one and page(s) have simply stopped dropping.

I still don't know how to apply a permanent crimson curse on her, but so far her skills are about charming enemies and putting a mark on her.
One of her skills (dance with me) sends a monster to the front and casts guard on her for 1 turn.
One is a basic backline hitter move that summons a chevalier. Has a base 55% chance to stun.
Her nuke is where she transforms into her bloodlust form that rams the first two rows. It can only be used once per battle and gives her 20 stress.
After the Nobushi class, I think I'm gonna stay away from too much buffs and debuffs this time and make it simple.

Do you think a no light run is possible? Ignoring those times where you get light for free, of course.
Completely pitch black runs are totally possible, even avoiding +light skills and free torches. Probably better off just doing a light run while ignoring treasure curios and backtracking to grab them in pitch black, unless you just want the challenge.
>>183373962

Stuns are king, don't play in a results-oriented way (go for low-risk plays always, unless only a high-risk play can save you from disaster), don't invest shitloads of gold into your heroes that are expendable (which is more of them than you think).

>>183378060
Heroes with good quirks, or experienced recruits you get after upgrading the stagecoach, since they already have their skills and equipment leveled to their level's maximum. Level 0s and 1s may be freely discarded if they roll terrible quirks like slowdraw, weak grip on life or off guard that you aren't able to afford purging in earlygame. Once you have a stable income you can start purging locked negative quirks on a regular basis, and you should git gud enough not to lose the guys you've invested in.
>>183362425
For a second I thought that was an upgraded hellion axe in his inventory and now I want a mod where you have a chance to loot upgrades weapons and armor without having to buy them.
>>183378012
Decided to keep going, ended up with LODS OF EMONE and the Auntie went Vigorous. Today was a good day for overconfidence.
PS I used that increased stack size mod because I am a dirty cheater who hates grinding.
Why the fuck is the only modder who actually went out and bought Spine just.... ugh. Not a very good artist?
>>183377437
For stress relief only upgrade the Cloister in the Abbey, it's the cheapest along with the Bar, with the difference the Bar can make you lose important trinkets.
Don't waste time into stress relief if your heroes are below 45%, if you play safe and know your curios you should be able to end a lot of runs with low stress.
Camping in medium and long runs has way more strategy to it than what it seems at first: the timing is important since you can cure and reset the light levels, and there are really great camping abilities. After I got a bit of experience I found that I can run no-healer teams easier in long missions (2 camps) than in short ones.
>>183378060
Personally the negative quirks are the key for me.
First of all there are trivial negative quirks that you should consider beneficial because they take space of what would be way worse quirks.
Basically, if your character doesn't want to do stress relief in any site that's not the Cloister, or if you have a melee char with quirks that fuck up his range moves: through a process of selection and curing those that are already decent, by the time I'm going for veteran missions I tend to end up with characters that have 5 negative quirks but only 1 affects him slightly.
So at the start I'd say don't care at all about your heroes: if one accumulates too many actual bad quirks (like 3-4 only as level 1) get rid of him and get new ones, otherwise trying to cure all of the quirks you want will consume too much time and the money isn't worth it either. At some point you'll have level 3 heroes with a bunch of banal "bad" quirks and with too much investment into their abilities/equipment, so it's worth it to waste a bit of money to cure the occasional quirk off them.
>>183377437
>>183380271
Oh, and I almost forgot, the quirks of the type "obsessed" (all those that make the heroes look up curios on their own) are top priority to cure. If you don't they can fuck up an important curio, stress the rest of your party or even worse: get a free negative quirk.
>>183380097

>today
>swine king mission
I took a BH, Occ, Jester, and Arbalest. Jester because the others had some stress already and I wanted to control it. He was there just to buff the party and bleed the enemy. Then I forgot to switch skills going into the boss fight, so I couldn't clear the marks. My BH died just before the swine king. Retreat failed. I didn't have the positional skills to hit Wilbur in rank one with anyone but the occultist, who was constantly stunned. So Wilbur killed everyone.
So I exited to main menu and deleted the save.

Is there any logic behind party shuffling mechanics? I'd like to think it's completely random but it feels like it intentionally places heroes in their worst positions.
>>183384374
It's random, that's why reducing party surprised chance is valuable, since it can happen even on radiant light and really fuck you up in the first turn. Unless you're using a shuffler party where it isn't a huge concern.
Pretty good loot

You do sort of just invade the courtyard don't you?
The swine and fish hunt and eat people, the cultists and undead abduct villagers to turn them, and the bandits are hacking bandits. But the court is just kind of hanging out until you break down their door and start pushing their shit in. The curse wouldn't even have spread if you don't go in and get infected. Even the only person maddeningly obsessed with killing them is depicted as an insane asshole. I wonder how like the ancestor the inheritor actually is after everything.

So I did some torchless runs for money and surprised the enemy 1/3 of the time. When I keep my light level at max I get surprised more often than I ever do the surprising. Is this just the RNG at play or am I missing something?
That was pretty hard. At least my assumptions about mirror structure of the map was correct. Last two Templars used Revelation on my unprotected Vestal and fucked her up.

Can anyone else confirm this? I'd gladly pay that much for Spine if it lets me do proper mods but I hsve no intention on using it outside DD, so it would be a wasye of money if it didn't work, and I'm not precisely rich.

Morality is a bit grey in DD. I'd class it a bit differently.
>seeking redemption
Abomination (because of his condition)
Crusader (because he abandoned his family)
HWM (because he accidentally murdered an innocent woman and child, possibly his lover and son)
Hellion (because she was exiled in shame, looking to die a glorious death in battle)
Vestal (because of her lewd thoughts)
MaA (because of survivor's guilt)
>in it for the money
BH (came to the hamlet after hunting crime lords out of revenge)
GR (came to the hamlet after running into debt and beginning her new hobby)
>no where else to go
Jester (killed a tyrant king and is possibly on the run)
HM (left a corrupt police force)
Arbalest (became a mercenary after her father was lynched)
>selfish goals
PD (for science)
Antiquarian (for some great, possibly evil power)
>holy mission
Flagellant (something about his burden)
Leper (went to the hamlet to fight evil before his disease claims him)
>seeking revenge
Occultist (made a deal with eldritch powers to fight against eldritch powers that haunt him)
Antiquarian is the only unabashedly evil character who betrayed her master and may or may not have sacrificed a woman for personal gain. She even keeps her master's soul in her censer and desperately seeks to complete an artifact that might be potentially dangerous. PD is mostly amoral and only interested in her unethical research. Occultist only uses his powers to fight against the eldritch forces, knowing full well that his life will end when his candle runs out, which is pretty altruistic.

You could apply the mark to scratch out a little extra damage from attacks with +dam to marked but the -prot debuff won't apply since its debuff resist (and all other resists) is impossibly high. You're basically stuck in a marathon chipping away at it because of the locked in 70% prot. That combined with having to always kill the matchman means you're basically hoping to chip it down to nothing before the other brigand summons wear you down to nothing.
To Onnabushi anon: why can't I use Reversal in this situation? I should be able use it while on 1st rank.

She's great for getting to that point where your embark costs are less than the gold generated from the bank but rapidly becomes useless once you're there.
Unless you aren't building bank because you don't have the dlc in which case she's always good for when you start hurting for dosh after falling for the sanitarium Jew.

>>183392394
I think we're pretty sure who the Occultist made the deal with. From what I've read, it's either heavily implied or outright stated if you let him meet his maker.

this. Brigand Pounder is the most obnoxious of the bosses.
>>183396475
he calls it his tormentor, which could imply he made a deal with another god
would be a bit strange if the heart was the source of his powers if hes wielding them against it, but it could be that once signed the heart cant change the terms of the deal and he keeps the powers until the candle burns out
>>183396278
rip.
I hope they do some balance passes to crimson court because that place feels harder and more unfair than darkest dungeon. You either bring cheese or get cheesed back. Chevaliers should never come with more than 2 other monsters, certainly not more chevaliers too, they need to be promoted to 2 spaces
Guys, do you see a way i could beat the shrieker with them?
>>183396859
You don't need to beat it, just to survive for a few turns. Killing the nest for bonus loot is optional.
>>183396943
it says i have to kill it ... also how? what comp will most likely survive?
>>183397345
MaA is good for guard/bolster spam. Vestal is good for aoe healing.
>trying this mod that adds a new curio where you can summon a powerfull random boss

i noped out of there as fast as i could
>>183397895
My only level 5 are in the pic, thats all of them... looks like i am not going shrieker huntin' today.
>>183396859
For survival you could try double vestal, HM, and Crusader. Have HM do nothing but spam guard on one of the vestals. Crusader starts with bulwark and then spends the rest of the fight healing or stunning. All the vestals do is heal.
>>183396943
Wait so the goal is simply to survive?
Fuck, I should have just tried attacking the nest
>>183397956

>>183399790
I couldn't handle the stress the Ancestor dealt, even though Reynauld was constantly healing stress. Unmake Them All was a real pain in the ass.
If the heart of darkness claimed to have made humans then what with the light? you know vestal,crusader abom and leper?
>>183400520
It's a mystery.either the heart of darkness is pretending to be their god or there's another power opposed to it
>>183391108
The occultist actually seems like a nice dude.
>>183400520I could see the Light being just another name for the Heart. IIRC the Flagellant's dialogue for Come Unto Your Maker is not to deny it happening to him.
>>183346067
>>183400520could be another glitch in the system like humanity
>>183401606His dialogue means that he either doesn't want the player to deny his death, taunting him to sacrifice him or wanting to survive the battle to kill the heart. I'm leaning towards the former.
What the fuck
Is it a bad idea to bring +stress trinkets to DD?
>>183353516Eskimo kisses
>>183401872
Stress can be a problem sometimes in DDs if you dont have a stress healer. you can generally gear your guys up pretty well for the DD with sun rings/eldritch trinkets. however, i wouldnt be afraid to use ancestor's candle or pen or similarly +10% stress strong trinkets if i needed the punch
>>183396543
Well unless your name is Aerthas I don't think it will fit you very well
So what's the Baron's deal exactly?

Onnabushi anon:
Did you ever get the barks working for death poem? If not, you should relocate those barks elsewhere.
>>183404262
If the Baron whips a Esquirre kiss your ass goodbye
Also what happens if you dont pop the eggs? Does the Baron pops them all himself or what?
>>183404262
>Am I supposed to just pop all the cocoons at once?
NO! destroy one and kill whatever is inside and repeat
Best case? the Baron is in the last one so you can 4v1 him and heal
Worst case? the Baron is in any other cocoon and you 4v1 him until next egg party
JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP? pop all cocoons at once, you can heal, but will be facing the Baron with Chevaliers, Courtesans and the Riposte cunts, but hey, you can heal during the gangbang
Picked this up on the vita. Wish me luck.

Not on champion difficulty IMO. Every point of accuracy matters there, and you aren't one shotting stuff anyway except with crits (maybe).
Your heroes virtue chance/stress resistence should increase with level desu
If my characters have encountered and defeated the deepest pits of Lovecraftiant hell over and over, they should get desensitized to it overtime.
Alright guys

>>183408719
How about MaA, Vestal, HwM, BH?
>>183408982
Should work just fine, yeah.
>>183408267
Stress resist does go up every level.
>>183408982
Dont forget to bring shovels anon
>>183409121
Seriously?
I didn't see anything about that on character pages on the wiki
>>183409504
Have you ever brought a low level hero and a high level hero on the same dungeon? The low level guys usually stress out after like 3 or 4 stress attacks and the high level guys can usually take on a whole bunch more.
>>183408267
I think your virtue chance should actually decrease per level.
>>183398163
Shrieker's prize is pretty much optional, he just sits there for a bit until he gets bored and you can kill him for a unique trinket but you can safely ignore the mission because those trinkets kind of suck.
The trinket reclaim mission is a different matter entirely but you only have to survive 4 turns there.
>tfw losing 3 characters and your Raider's Talisman and Dismas Head to the Shambler, and you couldn't even kill it because the Tentacles were way too buffed up by the time you killed the damn thing
HAHA! It's new game time bois.
>>183396543
Well I did offer to make people their own if they wanted with whatever characters they wanted doing stuff
How many of each character should I have?
Especially Vestals and Occultists, but I'd really appriciate it if some anon took the time to write a list on the FULL variety of heroes!

>>183411065
I love portrait for quickly leveling heroes to replace heroes that recently died, usually takes like two runs to get a new level 6 hero.
>>183411323
Just send a lvl 0 to die during the quest to put it on hold, then actually send a group whenever you're ready to face him the next time the event procs
>>183410992
I usually grab two of each, except occultists cause they have never done good for me. Will usually bump vestal limit to four
>>183411785
Wait, does that mark the quest as completed(until I get the event again) or it will keep appearing as available?
>>183391302
Based on backstory and set trinkets, he's reforming or trying to atone for breaking his code - likely no killing women/kids. He's basically a bandit with a conscience.
This is a good comp. I now see how OP HM really is.
If I complete the quest I won't be able to return, right?
>>183412118
Well the level 0 is supposed to die making the quest unavailable until it pops up again. It's so you Canale sure to not lose building upgrades until you're ready to face him.
What's a good group for the Garden Guardian? He's not dangerous but a real fucking slog and I want to farm these trinkets as fast as I can.
>>183412390
>>183412118
can make*, wierd word to auto correct to
>>183391108
The entire point of your 'heroes' is that they all have a dark secret that they're running away from. None of them are at the Hamlet to do good for the sake of it. They're all meant to be there for one last Hail Mary at redemption, hence why they are considered expendable trash.
If I were to say who is the least shit I'd say MAA because I think his thing is survivor's guilt, he didn't really fuck up.

If the houndmaster dies, does the dog die too?
>>183413438
Yes.
PSA to remind yourself everyday.
>>183413592
Also is the dog female?
:>>183396804
Since when does the occultist have a comic
>>183413438
Yes, it get's disemboweled with rusty blades, yelping and barking with it's guts hanging out, some of the "fleshier" monsters probably even rapes it several times until it bleeds out, filled with stinky, eldritch cum and horror.
>Your group can get stressed by you stunning and stalling
Why
>>183413683
The HM's barks implying so.
>>183413810
So you can't stall a single, weak enemy and make a full recovery, making the entire game fucking trivial.

They're all meant to be used in a set, but as individual trinkets the MaA trinkets are good on their own, the PD's dissection kit goes well with the bloody herb to make her a strong melee attacker, HWM bloody neckerchief, hellion's warpaint, GR letter opener and flagellant's glass shards are ok, vestal's atonement beads goes well with the profane scroll for a pos 2 combat vestal.
HM, MaA and BH have pretty good set bonuses.

>>183416228
I love the PD's stuns so much. Being able to either smack both backrow monsters with a stun, or shuffle + stun a stress dealer to the front is sublime. I'm curious how the shuffling property of Disorienting Blast functions though, because it doesn't list the rate on the skill description. Is it affected by move %+ trinkets?
Is there any classes/skins with the looks of the Ancestor, the Fanatic or the Countess?

Newfag here, after beating a few bosses for the first time I've started to take my team members more seriously (which are in levels 1-3) and try to get into party composition, but I've found myself heavily limited by the level restrictions.
Seriously, how the hell do you guys plan for team composition? I mean while they're still leveling. Do you go out of your way to have teams of 4 that always go together so some don't overlevel more than their mates? Do you take new recruits until you have the party you want and grind them together once you're doing better than at the start of the run?
No seriously, I'm completely lost here. I want to get into team composition, but I don't know how to do that if the mission restrictions can fuck me over a level of difference.
Also, I don't know what to post, so here you have something both horrifying and cute.
>>183423390
>Leper
No.
>>183424634
It's tedious shit, you have to plan it from the start, might aswell name your Bounty Hunter "Wealdhunter", and your houndmaster "Wealdmaster" so you never forget to put them in the same team and into the weald
>>183424634
The resolve restrictions make you experiment more with team compositions rather than what you are doing is a few set teams, same with the start of the game when you just get random recruits and take what you get.
>>183424758
Not even if I give him 10acc? I know the shuffling will be fuc.... know what, I just remembered he can't hit backrow....

So in general, you either try to keep them the same level some way or another, or experiment with those who are at the same.
Wait, so when a hero dies at a high level it fucks your entire composition, right? Fuck me, and here I thought losing heroes was already pretty bad.
>>183425469
>>183425814
No guts, no glory. You can always run away from the fight but you'd get two more resolve checks.

>Plague Doctor gets TWO trinkets tailored for incision
But why? Is there some secret-meta 204% bleed PD composition out there?
>>183427339
To justify her having the ability I guess
Are there any bosses like require specific team comps? I don't wanna look much up. I checked a curio interaction list cause I was struggling pretty hard at the start but nothing besides that. Just worried I'm gonna walk into a boss and lose a full team in three turns or something.
>>183427339

>>183425918

lmao, i didn't realize that Absinthe had blight chance as well. Some of these CC trinkets are real stinkers.
>>183427985
Absinthe is so fucking bad it's crazy that they actually thought it was a good trinket to release. Blight chance? Fucking -20% HP?
Is it a retarded idea to dismiss heroes as they reach level 3 until you can clear out all beginner bosses and get buildings done?

Don't worry about it, the starting bosses are very forgiving, i went in blind in most of them and even despite killing wilbur first i still survived the encounter by playing smart. That's only not true for crimson court and DD, you will get destroyed there.
>>183427957
>>183429384
Thanks anons. Definitely nowhere close to DD so I'll keep on with what I'm doing for now. I was worried the game would get really constrictive as far as who I can take where but so far that doesn't seem to be an issue at all. I've even gotten through with some pants on head retarded comps just with some extra struggle.
I downloaded the Musketeer file from the OP and I still get Arbalests in the stagecoach, is that normal?
>>183427427
Maybe certain ones with characters that are capable of guarding.
>>183428535
You don't need to get the buildings done, you can build them up as you go, but it is worth dismissing characters just to do the bosses since bosses are the best way to get certain good trinkets.
>>183422732
Not the ancestor, but I was picking around with the idea of an Inheritor class. Like the person you're actually playing finally gets off their ass and gets to work. He'd function more like a commander/support. Few or no direct attacks, just things that give your team ridiculous buffs. Like giving another hero a repost while guarding himself, a pep talk that increases death blow resist substantially, and something that nukes stress since you're inspiring ass is actually there with them. Shit like that.
Granted, the game would be over if he got killed I guess.
>>183429631
It is only champion dungeons that the game starts getting unfun and restrictive. Everything starts getting retarded amount of resistances and damage, making you run less effective builds more and more unless you min maxed all the right trinkets and traits.
>>183429749
Yes, they're separate classes. Just ditch the darkies, and stick to the pure musketeer master race.
>>183430913
Is there anyone who likes how the Arbalest looks? Seriously she's probably the most hated character design wise.

>>183414536
Iirc, Baron'll continue to take damage from dots he had when hiding in the eggs?
I was watching a friend play and while all the eggs were up his flagman gets a stress heal from killing an enemy. He just had to pop the eggs, clean up the randoms that spawned from them and the fight was over.
>>183431912
>and her weapon
Queer.
Is it me or Highwaymen fucking suck?
Shit damage, miss all the fucking time, no utility.
>>183431076
Hair is shit, armor is kinda alright, her battle pose is shit, her face is shit. Don't care for the nigger factor
>>183422471
>>183432263
Let me guess, you're using his ranged abilities
pro-tip: Highwayman is better as a melee character. The only ranged abilities you should be using are Pistol Shot for killing backliners and Tracking Shot when Open Vein isn't really an option. Other than that, you should be using Duelists Advance for that dank Riposte and Wicked Slice for some great damage.
>>183432263
HWM is pretty versatile in parties. At first, I used to use him as to pick off stress dealers with his pistol shots, and grapeshot to cull a weakened enemy + damage two others, but I've recently found myself really enjoying his Duelist's Advance, Wicked Slice, and Point Blank Shot if he's in R1 for shuffling shenanigans.

How does marked damage% stack with trinket and buff%?
If i have a musketeer doing lvl5 aimed shot for 10dmg and 2(mark multiplier)*10 on a marked target, would equipping a +20% dmg trinket bring it up to 1.2*2*10 or 2.2*10?
If it's the second case, is there any point in damage trinkets on a musketeer?
YES!

Well the Fanatic you knew was there when you started the mission. The Shambler is your fault. Collector is just a dick.
>>183441478
m@a is VERY important, as he guards the character without a talisman. houndmaster is very effective, use him as a damage dealer and stress healer in pos 4. healer is up to preference, but i prefer occultist for his marks. get someone who can stun without dealing damage, to be able to stall effectively. don't forget to use your camping buffs, m@a is amazing for that. reminder: you can't get night-time ambushes in the DD.
>>183441478
Bring a Man-at-Arms, Houndmaster, orAntiquarian.
Has anyone tried the Pirate Cove and Warren Worries reskin mods? Can they function with eachother or do they change all brigands into just one thing
>>183441529
I didn't activate an altar, though.
I was running to the next room to camp because the Fanatic left all of my guys with death's door debuffs and afflictions, no casualties thankfully.

Boom. Shambler.
Everyone died.
Shit had like 2% chance of happening but it did and I was reminded

>>183442801
>2% chance of happening
What difficulty? Because it's way, way higher on champion.
>>183442801
Also manage your torchlight better.
>>183444468
It was a medium veteran run so It probably was higher than that.
Still though, the chance for all of that shit to happen on the same run is definitely lower than 1%

>>183444728
8%.
Dark runs are feasible on apprentice but they start growing risky at veteran.Since it's 15% per on champion, I heavily suggest bring torches and using at least one per hallway fight.

Maximize his bleed chance, transfer team DOT to him, and diminish his healing. As unintuitive as it sounds, he performs better when Redeem and Exsanguinate don't bring him above 50% health.
>>183446514
If it's an apprentice dungeon you get loadsadosh
If it's not apprentice you die.
>>183446526
i like bounty hunter. but both of these could work. not a great fan of abo, but he's tanky, and you've got a stress healer to deal with transformation stress. hwm is really strong in extended fights now, with tracking shot. but has no utility. bounty hunter, though, has flashbang, and synergizes well with HM. up to you
>>183445409
>Shambler wouldn't appear at no light.

Oh right. Marking Synergy.
Bounty Hunter it is.
>>183427339
Incision is actually really good, it's practically required with the Crimson Court now since all the enemies to it are resistant to Blight and when Infection is high any level with Plague Doctor including Ruins and Cove can potentially make her far less useful with her Blights. Incision on the other hand when trinket-buffed is great to compensate for that, and PDs damage and crit chances when built for it are very high considering it has a Bleed to it.

Noob here, I've been rocking this comp for a couple weeks, wondering if it's worth sticking with.
VESTAL - GRAVE ROBBER/ARBALEST - HIGHWAY MAN - BOUNTY HUNTER
I swear to god, this game has a fixation on the Grave Robber. It seems like whenever I have one in my party she is ALWAYS attacked, no matter where I place her.
>>183447464
Why not just use another hero with better bleeds for Courtyard? Incision by itself has a high enough % that it should be scoring successful bleeds vs wandering CC enemies unbuffed. Giving up Blapshemous Vial for both trinkets would result in a really good Incision and everything else taking a hit, while using just one of the Incision trinkets with BV would result in a a minor buff to incision with no synergy with PD's other skills.

just being alive gives its allies 25%+ damage, and it will automatically revive any allied corpses at the end of each round
it can also buff damage and accuracy manually
it has massive stun resistance

Is stun amulet +15 or +35 to stun?
>>183450805
Each zone has a special meme enemy that appears in champion, ruins gets the dootdoot skelly
Buffs all enemies while alive, casts even better buffs on them, and resurrects them to full health at the end of each round

>>183449796
Yeah, the direct damage would be good for softening up, or killing off monsters on low health, but I don't know if I'd want to sacrifice trinket slots for Bloody Herb, or Dissection Kit. Maybe I'll play around with it for a bit, but I have trouble thinking up scenarios outside of the ones listed in which I'd prefer to use it over her other skills.
My original post was more puzzlement at the design behind the Dissection Kit, when Bloody herb already filled that niche completely.
