A topic a couple days ago reminded me that this exists so I decided

>>386795156
Focus damage on backline stress dealers, like the skeleton with the goblet or the madman

Stress heal with Crus/Jester/Houndmaster or while camping,

Accuracy, speed, damage, and stuns are your best friend.
Use specialist heroes like plague doctor, leper, and arbalest sparingly.

Highwayman and man at arms riposte is fucking hilarious.

>rogue-like
this thread is now autism

>>386795618
Yeah I figured the stress bitches should be the first ones to go on my last quest and it went a bit better but I still had a hard time since they were all no level. My best roster got trashed by the necromancer and I have a hard time bouncing back from that

Don't read books

>>386796132
I just got a new man at arms after my first one got killed. The riposte is pretty great combined with a good heal

>>386796208

I don't know shit about those, I just saw that in a bunch of steam comments

Remind yourself, overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

For now, just pay attention to the basic shit not to do.

Leper is a noob trap, so are books, and any -SPD trinkets as well. Focus the backline down, disable the frontline with stuns. Use the time they're stunned to recover and kill.

>>386796216

Most setups should be able to hit every row. I like my second character to be dps (highwayman, houndmaster, bounty hunter)
Prioritize damage types by region (you want some blight for ruins, and cove, bleed for weald and warrens)
Upgrade your stagecoach at the expense of everything else. If a hero has too many negative quirks, trash them. If a low level hero goes insane, its sometimes better just to dump them rather than cure them.
Don't upgrade Tavern or Monastery until you have a solid Guild and Blacksmith. Stress goes down every week if a hero isn't on a mission anyway. If you upgrade weaponsmith, blacksmith and guild to lvl 2, you can start getting level 1 recruits. This is extremely important to lower grind
Don't lock positive quirks unless they are insanely good. Don't even bother removing negative quirks unless its like -crit on a highwayman
Don't bring people with negative quirks for particular locations to those locations.
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TRINKETS. DON'T RUN WITHOUT TRINKETS. TRINKETS ARE FRIENDS USE THEM.
Don't die if you have an expensive trinket. Retreat so you don't lose it.

You can never technically "lose" Darkest Dungeon. It is always possible to come back from a loss. It will take time, but it is possible to recover. The only limiting factor is time.

You'll be fine as long as you remind yourself.

>don't bother removing negative quirks
this is so very wrong

>>386796782
>>386797015

Thanks anons, I'll keep those in mind. Somehow I didn't even notice you could upgrade the stagecoach

>>386795156
Memorize the types of enemies and traps in each area or write it down or just use the wiki page.

That's just step 1 to git gud

>>386797204

There are very specific ones to get rid of, but most aren't going to cripple your heroes.

Don't start the dlc quest early, unless you want bloodsuckers and the fanatic to harass you in every dungeon.

it's pretty good but it really shouldn't be that high up, same with a lot of the other trinkets placed there

obligatory dodgefag post

>>386798989
dodge just isn't that great, a lot of enemies, especially in champion level dungeons, have high enough accuracy to usually hit your heroes through dodge anyway

>>386795156

spam stun, target back rows first,

learn what items to use on curios to get best effects. use antiquarian for $.

lets be real, it needed a fucking nerf

*dodges shitpost*

In addition to some of the other bits of advice, don't be afraid to cut your losses and run if you need to. Keep in mind that if you abandon a quest you still get paid for the loot you bring back. If your party gets wiped on the other hand: well you get nothing.
That's one of the things I think people who complain about RNG don't seem to get. Part of Darkest Dungeons is recognizing when the odds are against you and knowing when to cut your losses and run.

are there any good class mod aside from the falconer?
asking for a friend

>>386800741
There's some interesting looking ones on the Steam Workshop. Sadly I've only got a pirated copy and the ones on the Nexus are complete shit, mainly because they're full of engrish and typos which hurts my immurshuns

>>386800682
Yeah that's definitely what I should have done with my original party, now when things go real south I run

>>386799312
bellow is much better

>>386799113
It's nice in that you avoid the stress, damage, bleed, blight debuff, moves AND stuns, rather than just the damage from PROT or health

Generally not good on pitch black champion but as long as the lights good then youre basically thine

>>386800903
the only good class mods i can find in the Nexus are the Onnabushi and the Ronin, but they feel like shit sometimes
also i'm totally going to check the workshop, any good class mod authors you recommend?

>>386801193
Falconer is the only good class mod right now, with the closest matching art and the musketeer rework is okay too.

Is Dankest Dungeon the best turn based strategy game with party management in recent memory?

>>386796782
>moon ring isn't elder god tier
>dark crown not even on the tier list
oh shit nigger what are you doing

>>386795156
Make sure to check the /vg/ thread for some protips and shit
>>>/vg/dadg

>>386801027
but that doesn't reduce incoming damage at all, and it's a debuff so it's going to fail half the time. it does make a nice sound though

>>386801481
honestly if jrpg's adopted the game's combat structure i'll be more intrested in the genre

>>386804420

what part of the combat structure? positioning, stress?

>>386796782
The trinket tier list is so fucked on the Crimson Court segment reposting from /dadg/

>Master's Essence in shit tier when it does nothing but buff Antiquarian's heals and blights with no downside
>Vial of Sand, an absolutely amazing buff to Occultist's debuff and stun skills with no drawbacks only 'Mostly Good' while Blood Pact is higher despite have less positives and actual drawbacks
>25% Prot bonus of Arbalest's set in shit-tier
>Vengeful Kill list which only buffs two of Bounty Hunter's mediocre skills and in no meaningful way in 'Mostly Good'
>Dissection Kit at the top despite only buffing one of Plague Doctor's worse skills to be somewhat decent with far less positives compared to other trinkets below it
>Toy Soldier and Old Unit Standard not having their positions switched
