I've still no idea what I'm in for yet beyond bits of rumor and hearsay from here.
I wish I wasn't so fucking slow at playing, I'd like to move on to other things but not until I do all the caretaker missions.

You're fine. You need to accept that you may lose some heroes, but if you have experience with enemy types, you'll be alright. Get everyone to resolve six by doing exclusively Ruins runs, then move on to the others. Don't do Cove missions unless you need to remind yourself.

>>137036126
I'm new to Champ too. Here's what I learned after two runs
>Pig centaur will try to get to the back rank and when he does OH BOY LOOK OUT so if you have some way to push stuff behind him or pull him forward, that will help
>Bone generals can AOE stun (with pretty solid damage 7-10) EVERYONE in your party from EVERY RANK, don't even bother moving them around. They don't have great stun resist though so that's a good way to keep them busy while you work.

Cove is actually the easiest champ dungeon, with a Vial/Stun Amulet PD... Especially if she has some +SPD quirks, stunning half the fish packs before they react and making snibsnabs into maintenance stops to heal/destress back to full.

>>137048242
Fuck you and your 2 health bleed heals.

>>137048476
Assuming you run a PD and a guarding HM for the other frontliner, maybe. The Warrens is the worst in straight damage, but the Cove has so much unfair bullshit compared to the other places. Traps are crippling instead of a minor annoyance, Seaward Slash and Spearfishing give me PTSD, the stress dealer can buff and heal, giant crabs of much bleeding, and always needing to prioritize a stupid thrall or risk taking triple digits in damage.

>its ok when red hook does it

I'm feeling pretty good about my champion team right now... but I haven't taken on any bosses yet. This team dunked Veteran Necromancer but I'm still nervous about Champion Necromancer. I need to stop dawdling though. Week 65 and I've only done 3 champion dungeons.

Which champion bosses are harder than the DD quests would you say? The trophies are obviously mostly not worth it.

>>137099268
>Week 65 and I've only done 3 champion dungeons.
I'm week 114 and haven't done a single one. I have however maxed out the hamlet, gotten all my heroes to level 4 or above, killed all veteran bosses, fully upgraded all my guys and have 550k gold left for more Lv5 upgrades.

>>137099495
I go heirloom heavy so my bank is much smaller... 350k, but I just finished upgrading everything except tavern, abbey, and survivalist (so many crests!)

>>137099268
Champion Necromancer is a pushover. Hit him until he dies. What you have to worry about is Flesh, Crew, Hag, and Pounder. Nightmare made material.

>>137099993
Flesh was the easiest boss for me in apprentice and veteran so I'm hoping he'll remain easy.

Crew is easy if you cheese it

Pounder though, there's no getting around it. It's just terrible.

>>137100425
i got hit with some spaghetti crits in the flesh fight but he wasn't too hard with bleeds and libhgt. the champion prophet though, GOD DAMN. i had to bring 2 occultists just to stop his boulders from doing 50 a hit.

>>137099268
I think I'm week 70-80 right now and I still have some lvl3 bosses to fight. Maxed stage coach, blacksmith and guild.

What do the weeks have to do with anything really? Also can't is just fire half my staff and start with lvl2s again?

>>137100425
>Cheese it

Good luck m8. He has like 145% movement resist. You have a 15% chance when the occultist has the movement trinket. He heals so fucking much.

>>137101189
I meant VIRTUE CHEESE

I have tentacle idol and hero ring already prepared, leveling a jester

>>137101251
That's a pretty good idea. I just had 2 lepers spam hew over and over to kill him.

As for pounder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voPeuSey274

Is there any reason to wear the Ancestor's Portrait during a quest? You can just equip it right before hitting complete for full bonus, right?

fuckign around with modding some more--does anyone know where to find the item effects? like bandages and so on.

the inventory folder just has info for stack sizes and gold values.

>>137101575

>>137102279
What else should I do? Does a mark party work on the pounder?

>>137102510
Not the guy you were asking, but I tried a mark party vs the 12 pounder. Did not get a single crit.

The party used in the video looks good and I'll probably do that for my 16 pounder now, but I'll be using ancestral trinkets where possible.

Anyone here know anything about modding/editting the game files? I'm trying to make a custom class, but I'm unsure what exactly everything means in the various .info files.

>>137113823
Why are everyone shitting themselves over the spiders.

I've only been hit for like 12 dmg tops from them. Is it that they might focus you with crits?

The webbers just stun one of your dudes and gives them like 4-5 worth of dmg too

>>137114963
It's because they dogpile your heroes and have stupid high crit chance. It's painful.

>>137114963
try 33+ damage from constantly critting marked heroes (and a blight to finish them off on their turn now that they're at deaths door).

>>137115212
best way of dealing with them?

focus one and stun two with pd if possible?

>>137115963
they dont have much health, even on champion, so a good hit from just about anyone will kill them (though their huge dodge stat and the accuracy debuffs they can apply complicate that), mostly you just kill the webbers first, since they're the ones who mark and stun the target.

if you get surprised you're pretty much fucked though.

KABLAMO!

alright, some adjustments i'm gonna try out for crusader:
-adding rank 2 back to holy lance
-battle heal is now also a cover, to make it a little more competitive with the stress heal
-zealous accusation now inflicts a minor prot debuff (the BH 10% one, albeit with slower percent chance scaling)

what do you guys think, is it too much?

>>137135730
One of the problems with Crusader is that he does everything, but does nothing well. Buffing him might make him do everything better than everyone.

>>137116374

I prefer to kill the spiders in the back first, since the mark stun is a weak attack and the frontline spiders might waste turns spamming it, so you take less damage overall. This works best if you got fast heroes though, like a Grave Robber.

>>137118891

>i'm unsure what time period darkest dungeon takes place in exactly so i cant autism the armor style/design

Darkest Dungeon is full of anachronisms in the first place, so I wouldn't worry too much about this. I think a vaguely Chinese style would work better, since the furthest hero was the Antiquarian who came from "the shadowed east."

Flavorwise, it kind of looks like he has too many weapons. All the other heroes have about two weapons at most.

It's the drawback for bloodthirst rings just a minor hit to dodge? Seems like it'd be good.

>>137152808
I don't understand why's everyone so obsessed with Fasting Seals. 5 dodge or whatever they have won't change anything.

>>137153610
You're assuming people want them for the 5 dodge, that's why you don't understand why people are obsessed with them.

>>137153610
>>137152808
I don't use Fasting Seals at all in Champion (sometimes I might use one if I want to use Raider's Charm) because for champion runs I'm willing to just shell out all the cash for a well-stocked run. I'm not in champion to farm heirlooms or money - that can be done much safer at lower difficulties. If I'm in champion I'm there for leveling or boss killing so that takes priority.

Fasting Seals and Bloodthirst Rings can save a lot of money over the run using them in your lower level runs, but there's just no reason to put yourself in danger over reduced food in champion. Buy the extra food, miss out on loot, and make it home safe.

>>137153910
Is there a difference between equipping 4 bloodthirst rings and 4 fastings? You'll have free feasts either way, no?

>>137154093
Not as far as food goes, but fasting seals have no negative

The rings make a good substitute before you can get more seals

i know this is an old screenshot but REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I have a maxed out comp of lads that stomped literally everything I threw at them (Arbalest, Occ,HM,MAA).
I have really good trinkets (I'd say) and have beaten several of the champion bosses with this setup.
Is there a reason to kill all the bosses? I don't want to grind dungeons just so I can reach them and then get RNG'd by dodge on the pounder fight again. I just want to see this infamous Darkest Dungeon.
Also, please don't spoil shit for me, I did 99% of this game blind, and I quite enjoy the challenge.

>>137167445

You can go straight to DD without doing any of the bosses. Doing the bosses just gives you backstory and unique trinkets for killing the champion level bosses. It doesn't affect the ending.

Select the transparent area, then invert selection.

Tell me more. Its so annoying having to switch over to gimp to correct the transparency.

Do I just install the plugin and then photoshop will no longer have any issue exporting pngs?

>>137220480
it's just a blank palette so i can see what random scattered piece goes where on the actual character ingame, so i can work from there

much appreciated! i'll check it ingame now.

and while that'd be super cool of you, i'm fairly certian you wont always be around when i finish something at my slow-ass pace (which is why i wanted to know for myself).

though at this rate i might just see if i could find an artfriend to do that for me so i can just concentrate on the effect files and shit.

It would REALLY help me out if someone knew the conversion rate deeds -> crests

I just need crests but I have 2 stacks of deeds... not sure if I should drop the deeds for the new crests I found, or just trade the deeds because 1 deed stack might be worth 18 (more than a stack) crests

>>137226090
Let me start up my game.
