>>385713434
Game gets fairly easy to deal with once you've upgraded your guild and blacksmith, and by the time the difficulty ramps back up again, you should know what you're doing.

Just focus down on the backline stress dealers first (skelly nobles, little swine babies, fish shamans, cultist girls) and cheese out stress healing by stunning the last guy for a round.

>>385713434
your heroes are expendable. don't feel bad for making trash parties and farming for gold and to upgrade guild and blacksmith

I was interested in getting this, until I read someones thoughts on it. It sounded like a slog, where RNG could lead to hours more grinding. They said the combat didn't have depth past knowing where to put your guys and when to use bleed/whatever the the other one is. Apparently it also extends it's length artificially through forced grinding, such as each hero only being able to do the darkest dungeon once.

Is it really as bad as this guy suggested?

>>385715929
It's a long game.

They added a "radiant mode" which cuts the grind down in half. You might want to play that instead.

>female characters in masculine roles
fucking garbage. refunded instantly.

Stop caring about stress for low level heroes, it's better for them to die than to spend your hard-earned cash on fixing it
As far as I can tell the game is also infinite so you can just grind the lower dungeons again and again

>>385716398
Not that anon but I was going to ask about that.

Honestly what I want from this game is a mode that kinda FTL or something.

Timed so your weeks are limited, and a lot less grinding.

>>385715674
I wish doing that wasn't so boring and didn't felt so grind-y

>>385716542
You get a timed mode, but iirc you have to finish the base game first. It's also not very well implemented; after a certain number of weeks the game just ends.

>>385713434
Modify the files to make your characters do attacks that effect the entire enemy team and mod the damage of classes to be 1000000%

Look at this filthy casual.

>>385717309
Radiant increases enemies HP and crit chances, meaning it takes longer to deal with stressing enemies and is riskier to always focus them since other monsters become more dangerous.

More HP for enemies -> more turns -> more stress and less HP for your heroes.

You can do some tricky shit like leaving 1-2 extremely weak enemies alive to heal HP/stress, but this way you're just abusing the game.

It's the same as going through whole dungeon killing everything but not taking anything, and then looting in pitch black (and having some torches in case new fight appears). Technically it's """""legitimate""""", but you're just using the fact that devs are not smart enough to make loot roll when you reach the curio instead of when you open it.

I remember how I pirated this game last year and I kept doing that "leave 1 enemy, stressheal/heal" shit and when I told /v/ about it they said the monsters would get reinforcements and my guys would be stressed
but it never happened
I was literally at round 50+ and it never happens
then a few ingame weeks later it starts happening
It was the version where stress healing an afflicted to 0 stress removes affliction

Always pick medium or long missions so that you can use camping skills to reduce stress.

always aim for stress casters first unless you're low on health.

Learn the keep 2 enemies alive, stun them and stress heal tactic.

Is Jester the only way to reduce stress during battle?

I started my first stygian run yesterday and it is going extremely well, i am not feeling any increase in difficulty beyond the enemies having a lil bit more health.

now in week 8 with 60k gold,4 dd teams ready for leveling + 8 randoms for gold runs
guild+blacksmith also upgraded once with 30% off weapons and armor.

>>385718931
houndmaster has a stress heal and the crusader does too.

>>385718931
Hound master, Crusader and flagellant also have stress healing abilities. Crusader's is a little weaker but also heals health, houndmaster is unreliable but effects the whole party, and flagellant stresses himsefl out.

You can also relieve stress by getting crits, so graverobbers and arbalests can effectively work as a stress healer.

Am I the only one that experience constant crashes? From time to time I can play few missions without problems, but very often I can't even start one because it just keep on getting exe error on mission select screen.

Only use the Tavern or Cloister when your Heroes are afflicted or when you don't need them, otherwise leave them in the Hamlet, where they receive 5 stress relief. If you leave two creatures alive, you can infinitely heal with impunity, but if you only have one enemy alive, he will call for reinforcements, but only after your party exclaims, "Let us be done with this!" Lock in Hard-Skinned at the Sanitarium ASAP, regardless of how much it costs. It's the one quirk every hero can benefit from, but be careful, you can only lock in 3 quirks both positive and negative. Don't lock in area specific, camping, stress relieving, or resistant quirks.

The Leper is a good class to use in the very beginning, but becomes obsolete later. The Crusader only shines inside the Ruins, so once you kill the Necromaner 3 times, there's no reason to keep them with you. Except Reynauld, never lose Reynauld. Abuse DOT effects, and stun as often as you can. Prevent the enemy from taking as many turns as possible, that's how you get the best results.

>>385719683
It makes a few things easier, but it doesn't change the whole game. If you don't like the grinding, there are mods you can download that increase your inventory size. I changed the files myself to suit my needs, it's actually incredibly simple to do and doesn't break the game.

You can make sense with other attacks though. Enemies with weapons can hit you with them. They can stress you out with magic or by scaring you in case of the madman. Classes in general have weapons they can use. Religious classes use faith. Abom has his mutations. Occultist has lovecraftian shit. The Jester even has scythes and a knife for his other attacks, so how does encore work?

The game's difficulty becomes trivial when you've essentially got infinite money without cheating. Though this method doesn't work on Stygian difficulty.

You won't need a stress healer if you got the Jester, that's pretty much the only thing he's good for, since the nerf.

>darkest desire mod broken

>>385721695
I wasn't who you were originally talking to. I was also referring to the houndmaster's camping skills.

The flagellant is OP as fuck. One of the best bleeds in the game, if not thr best. He also gets buffed at lower HP and that also unlocks his ability to apply an even better bleed while healing himself a fuckton. If he hits death's door he also heals the rest of your party, and he has good death resist. Also, the debuffs to his damage dont matter at all because most of his damage comes from his insane bleed effects.
He we be nerfed, he makes the game far too easy.

Leveling up heroes isn't bad. In some cases heroes may level up faster than you can upgrade them. Grinding for heirlooms is what drags out the game. Radiant mode is so much faster because upgrades are far cheaper.

>>385721665
>being forced to adapt to different situations is the entertaining part about it.
I agree that people sometimes overstate the role of RNG but there isn't much adapting to different situations in DD.

>>385721695

>He's OP as fuck though, a nerf is inbound any day now.

Probably not, because they limited him to only 1 per group, so you can't cheese him the same way you could the other classes. Not to mention most of his camp skills being selfish, too reliant on Bleed on his damage and he can never get a positive Affliction, so over 100 stress eventually means you might have to ditch the run if your Flagellant lost it and keeps beating his own teammates every single turn.

>>385721151
Because his riposte is the strongest ability in the game which perfectly compensates lack of damage in this comp overall. And no, I don't even use his bleed skills.

Sure, but you're taking a risk he stresses everyone else out or outright kills them. Rapturous isn't as bad as many other afflictions but its still a negative affliction and the longer you spend in the dungeon with it, bigger problem it becomes.

Didn't know about the One Per Group, but c'mon now, they've nerfed every other Hero whether or not they needed it. Isn't the Flagellant's only affliction Rapturous? That's a strong positive combined with a negative that greatly increases his strength, it ain't bad at all compared to, say, the fucking Crimson Curse. He can heal himself and one of his allies for full health, or hit the enemy for decent damage, high DOT bleed, heal fully, and suffer a pathetic penalty. His damage is offset by a 3-round 5 point bleed, which probably increases, but I don't have a level 6 Flagellant yet. The chances of him killing someone is pretty low, only time I ever seen an ally kill someone was when my Leper killed himself with Masochistic against the Shambler.

He's not the best, no, but is there any hero that can compete with what he offers?

put a jester and or flagellant to keeping you alive in long dungeons. also its good to have someone who can heal. get dem camping skills boy. Always make sure you have at least two stacks of torches. maybe less for short dungeon, but you never wanna run out. same goes for food, shit goes quick.

>>385723067

>>385713434
The game is not really that difficult after about 8-10 hours. Just make sure you try and avoid going over 100 stress on regular runs because there's a huge stress snowball after your character becomes paranoid. I don't bring people on missions unless they have under 30 stress.

A lot of bosses in DD have a problem where they can either be easily burst down (necromancer, prophet, hag, etc) or be defeated easily through one simply trick (swine prince, Vvulf, Baron, etc). The collector is harder than some of the dungeon bosses. The Fanatic is one of the few bosses where there isn't an easy way to cheese him.

>>385717028
You can do it on normal if the mission is easy and you camp right before the end with levelled up camping skills. Well you can maybe get 1-2 characters down to 0 stress doing that.

>>385723272
why would you waste an inventory slot like that?

DAY OF THE RAKE

>>385723238
Bring a fast stunner and chain stun him and you can beat him before he even summons his dudes. I like having a hellion to yawp the clappers in case he does. Rest is your choice, but try not to use something super weak to the initial shuffle you'll eat.

>>385723238
Vestal-arbalest-houndmaster-any good frontliner

mark with arbalest, houndmaster will stack bleeds

>>385718574
2 enemies, 2 size enemies, or specific single enemies (pelagic guardian, collector spawns) will not trigger reinforcements or stress.

So if you cheese like >>385723232 then you can stress heal all you want

>>385723238
Stupid astral nigger never appears when I'm prepared.

>>385723341
Because an inventory slot is worth like 2k gold and 0 stress on 2 characters is worth more than that. You could also leave a treasure curio and then backtrack without getting too much extra stress if it's only 1-2 rooms away.

>>385723238
That battle is a death sentence. You're almost guaranteed to lose a hero, or two.

I'd recommend bringing someone who can stack DOT and someone who can stun easily. Someone who can go first AND stun on the first turn is invaluable. So, Grave Robber and Hellion, or Flagellant and Hellion.

>>385719934

The trick is to shuffle your party BEFORE you hit the torch, because you know the shuffle is guaranteed as long as you put people in the wrong position there's at least a chance they'll end up in the right position. Many times when running with 2/2 teams I've started the fight with nobody out of order.

>>385723238
Some nigger on here told me that he was free money, I lost 3 characters and 5 charms from trying to kill him. Also I watched a video and he only drops like 4.5k gold, not really worth the hassle imo.

Shits just too good. Scouting alone bumps the houndmaster up 2 tiers in any class comparison.

>>385724267
does scouting stack?
like you get higher chance to scout if you have 2 dogmen?

>>385724328
Scouting isn't class based, just a global chance, but he brings 30% from a hound-only trinket, and 50% from a camping buff

>>385724440
Nah, but works with trinkets.

Is disarm chance a universal % or is it each heroes individual chance?

>>385724328
25% default for 1 hallway no matter what team composition.
Half of your total scout chance for 2 hallways away.

So if you want a guaranteed scouting chance to avoid shit, make sure you add at least 75%. This would means there's a 50% chance for a bigger scout which also reveals hidden rooms. If you manage to go full autism for 200% scouting every scout will be 2 hallways away.

My game has suddenly started crashing over and over recently so It's literally unplayable.

It worked perfectly fine last week, then I booted it up yesterday and I can only do 2-3 rooms before it instantly crashes to desktop. Anyone else have this problem/ know how to fix it?

>>385724440
camping buff no, trinket yes

default is 25%, so one hound with trinket+camp buff up is enough to push you to 100% scout and give chance for crit scouts

>He's not the best, no, but is there any hero that can compete with what he offers?

I mean Flagellant is powerful as fuck, no doubt. But seems like this time devs already knew that and gave him some rather big restrictions, like the "only 1 dude at a time"-one. No Cheese allowed, so the chance of him getting nerfed to the ground is much lower than say Man-At-Arms or Jester.

>>385723564

>That battle is a death sentence. You're almost guaranteed to lose a hero, or two.

No you're not. Shambler is a guaranteed "at least one dude of yours gets Afflicted.", so just don't do him in important runs, or only after you've completed the important mission. In a grinding run you can take him on provided you got enough supplies (and no Antiquarian).

>>385716458

Ignore Joseph's Anderson shitty opinion. He's a pretentious prick who wants to sound allmighty but fails thanks to his inability to be objective.
Combat is simple but it's a turn based game, what else do you expect? Knowing when to use an ability is common as fuck.

The game is more focused on an experience, rather than fun itself. I'd recomment to pirste it until you beat 1-2 bosses. If you like it and you think you could do that for 40 more hours while experimenting with more party combinations, then buy it.
If not, move on to the next game.

Don't complain about how much it hurts to bite your hand if you keep bitting it.

So quick question, I just bought the DLC and already have a couple of heroes inflicted with the curse. Is it only possible to heal them if you go on and expedition with them and feed them blood or can I do it from the Estate?

>infected crusader/leper/vestal still won't party with abomination
???

>>385716458
you can just mod them tho

>>385727275

If you got Blood in stores, they will automatically drink one in town if they are Wasting. Cursed guys only die from the Curse in town if you have no Blood left.

>>385727275

What do you mean by heal them? Removing the curse? You cant do that unless you defeat the boss.

If you mean drinking blood sure, they drink blood while they are idle in town if you have some

>>385727275
Vampires automatically drink any Blood you have stored in the Hamlet right before they'd otherwise die from thirst.

Literally always better to over-prep than underprep as far as food and torches go. They're the cheapest shit you can buy and camping for a half ration (only two food) is fine. Pack more food to dungeons where you can't get food off curios.
Also if you're a backtracker you should pack even more food since backtracking can spawn more hunger events depending on your light level.
