Got holy waters, potion, antivenoms, resists, marks, stabs, etc.

Don't get attached to characters

Upgrade the stagecoach first, the one that gives you more characters to choose from.

Hire those lvl 0 characters for suicide runs where you send them on green missions without supplies. This way, atleast one of them is bound to make it back alive with all the loot they found and then you can kick them out if you dont want to keep them.

Dont even touch books. seriously.

Keep Dismas and Reynauld (your starting highwayman and crusader) alive for the last Darkest Dungeon fight for an achievement and bragging rights.

>>168488024
darkest dungeon is a game about sending countless men and women to their eventual death. Its more of a risk simulator than a spreadsheet grinder

That being said
>upgrade your coach immediately, get more arrivals and bigger barracks and hoard replacements. You get new arrivals after every quest and at the start of the game, its more efficient to just replace overstressed and suicidal members with new suckers. You can stop replacing units when you're skilled enough to keep units in good shape (usually around level 3)
>always bring torches, stack of food, shovels, and at least 1 key. Those are the bare necessities you need while the rest are just good to have. When you camp during medium or long missions, always ALWAYS use a skill to prevent night ambushes or you will get fucked up.
>learn to prioritize targets in fights. Stress is a silent killer so make sure you can hit various ranges, especially the backrow. Stunning is almost as good as killing something.
>You don't have to interact with curios, sometimes its better to avoid most of them unless you have the right items to safely do it
>And when in doubt, retreat or abandon quest. You can run, and you should do it if you need to.

Crusader is boring, ruins are ez anyway and it's just a slightly stronger unholy slayer ring. i'd go with something else, like +25% damage if torch above 75.

Plague doctor is garbage.

I like occultist giving bleed chance, that is fucking hilarious. But it seems a bit weak. maybe make it something like "+50 bleed chance, -20 bleed resist, -20 healing received, +20 stress"

bounty hunter seems too situational and weak. maybe just a flat 5% crit chance would be better.

>>168502245
The prophet has 2 turns per round, so half of your weakening curse will be wasted on his blight and stress attacks

for maximum cheese you need 2 occultists

>>168502335
If you're concerned with defensive stats then just use a Tough Ring and chances are your other trinket is the Rampart Shield.

>>168502679
>I was reading that with the mindset of an Occultist wearing the trinket.
that does not make any sense either!

>>168502552
The problem is trinkets are very basic in this game, we don't have cool, game changing items.

For instance, what if the PD Head caused your attacks to apply a 1 Blight dot,s tacking 3 times? Weak? Maybe, but it's completely different from everything else which is just +stats. Or the BH Head which causes you to do X% more damage to targets under half health or something.

>>168502679
sacrificial stab bleed buff when? meme arab needs some love.

>>168502939
>For instance, what if the PD Head caused your attacks to apply a 1 Blight dot,s tacking 3 times?

now that is very interesting. the blight damage would have to be linked to the attacks base damage however, since a flat blight DOT on the trinket would mean it would be impossible to balance. it would be strong in in the early dungeons and weak in the later dungeons because health increases linearly. maybe something like "3 turn blight equal to 10% of the base damage of the attack".

Jester's head:
+6% critical chance
-50% move resistance
+20% stress

Leper's head
+25% damage
-15 ACC
-2 SPD

characters are expendable, but when should I equip trinkets on them, remove their negative traits, and invest in gear upgrades for them?

>>168503631
whenever you want
at late game money is not an issue anymore

>>168503631
always equip trinkets. if someone dies, you get the trinkets back at the end of the fight, unless you run away.

gear is cheap in the beginning anyway, upgrade it as much as you can unless you are about to fire someone and just want to send them on a last suicide mission before they go.

unless you want to fire someone very soon, remove negative quirks asap, since it is cheap when they are not locked in yet.

>>168498903
oh yeah, i forgot about that

do healing trinkets effect stress healing?

>>168504675
no, stress healing is it's own thing. there are trinkets that boost stress healing.

How's Radiant mode? Does it cut down on the grind?

Oh fuck, this is something the game actually needed. We'll finally make intrepid entrances like in the earliest art.

I feel like they could add to exiting a dungeon as well -- instead of just pressing a button, you should have to manage supplies and map awareness so that you can make your way back to entrance, or else make use of alternative portals that you've scouted beforehand. I think this would add valuble tension and another layer of strategy, as well immersion.

But still, this continued support, holy fuuuaark

He got a few cheap hits in in the beginning, but once the HMs were done stacking the dodge buff, they dodged every single attack every turn. Even "Eye On You" didnt hit them anymore, but I had rallying flare on the arbalest in case things went to shit and they got stunned.

Didn't destroy the last pew because I don't have enough inventory space anyway.

If you're already planning on bailing the mission and don't care much about the team then do it.

>>168508490
Yeah, as I said, once they reached the maximum amount of dodge, they did not take a single hit for the rest of the fight. Arbalest was healing away fulminate damage and was on standby with flare in case a HM got stunned by Eye On You while the leper was busy chopping some wood.
The problem were the first two turns. He got 2 hits each on the houndmasters and put them to death's door, which was pretty unfortunate. But it payed off anyway, since the rest of the fight was trivial after the houndmasters reached maximum dodge. And it was pretty funny seeing the houndmasters dodge literally every attack from the prophet.

After destroying two pews I put a snipers mark on the prophet and burst him down in a couple turns. He had no chance.

But in the end, I guess just bringing an occultist and another healer is safer, since you can completely avoid risking the lives of your heroes in the first two turns.

Is trying to combo riposte effects with guard abilities a good strategy or is this too gimmicky?

What do you mean? Like Duelist's advance + protect me? That's totally viable if you've got heals for the highwayman.

>>168511104
Not worth it unless what you're fighting has a lot of aoe attacks.

>>168511104
it's only worth it with an antiquarian, since she is not much help in combat anyway and you can force guard a MAA or HWM the same turn you riposte.

trying something like riposting and then guarding with the MAA takes up too many turns and the damage you get out of it is not that high. You are better off just riposting on turn one and then using a stun or a normal attack while the riposte is active.

>>168518058

It was fine. I had the "Gentle Tide" event so I had dmg buff to enemies in the cove. I just loaded up on eldritch dmg trinkets on my dark crit crew and took a swig of holy water before the fight.

I completely fuckpummeled her. My jester took 1hp damage during the fight to a surviving tentacle in the very last shot. Apart from that, easy peasy.

I actually backtracked and did a shambler because I was still itching for a fight.

Now I just need to remind myself.

>>168519417
graverobber is the fastest class in the game and extremely versatile. But basically if you want someone that just shits out damage from row 1 to 4(important) you get a graverobber

Antiquarian shits out money but only take her on short runs because you wont have the inventory space for anything more

>>168519417

Antiquarian IS bad. But she makes money.

Basically you bring her along for money making dark runs with a good 3 man crew that doesn't need a 4th (like Occ + BM + HM/Jester)

I feel this one of the things PBD greatly improves: most characters have at least 5-8% base PROT, so, when you give them Barristan's head, tough ring, or a PROT potion, it adds up to a more substantial 20%. After that, certain buffs like Auntie's add say, 5% per application, on top of dodge bonuses and things.

I wish this were how it worked in vanilla.

I think default prot would only work with upgraded armors of certain classes personally. Every class having prot seems a bit much for vanilla.

>>168523527
Nah combat in PBD is a fucking pain and you have almost no way to reliably heal DOT, so you barely notice the prot at all.

>>168523527
Overall, PBD makes the game more difficult -- that change in particular just makes the trinkets mentioned above worthwhile.

It also makes it feel like the apparel your heroes wear is actually there, if fairly thin.

>>168519417
I actually just finished a veteran mission with a antiquarian and a GR, and they worked out pretty well, the festering vapors and the poison darts combined did a shitoad of blight to enemies in the weald like the giant and ghouls. I like the antiquarian because she has some good skills despite being pretty weak. I think all of her skills can be used from any rank on any rank except her knife attack which can't hurt the 4th rank. With the candle of life and maybe another healing skill trinket she can reliably heal for 5 or 6, which is low, but her speed can help get others off of deaths door or just top off chip damage. She's also the only class that can bestow the guard condition on another hero, essentially buffing the prot and dodge of those that might not be able to normally, like the BH or the knight, without having a guard unit waste their action activating a guard on her. Also, her basic knife attack I found to be very helpful chipping or finishing off weak enemies like spiders or stress dealers that normally would have had another potential action. Then of course there is the fact that she adds a bunch of money gems to the loot pool and can be a good way of getting money, in addition to being able to find trinkets while camping. As for the GR, I consider her like a combination of the HWM and the PD, having high crit and dodge and being able to incflict blight or lower enemy status resistances.

>>168526501

>>168512780
Nothing ? No one else ?

>>168532115
I've never had that issue and have never seen him run away so I'm not sure. It might just be a variance depending on the mission type. It might also be unintentional. Did you stun the Shrieker at the end of turn 4? That might've caused a glitch where he doesn't run away.

>>168532308
I had never lost a hero prior to him, so no trinkets lost before, he just stole 8 trinkets and then a quest to go recover them appeared. I may have actually stunned him at that time, I don't really remember, I know I stunned him once though, that may have been it.

Hopes and fears for the upcoming trinket rehaul?

Personally hoping they add more trinkets with variations on effects. Maybe some new monster trinkets as well. I'm afraid they'll nerf the trinkets that're actually good without adding anything.

>>168533028
I want them to add the boss backgrounds before they do that and take as much time as they need to finish the update, test it, then put it out. Reworking all the trinkets is a big thing and last time it was only a mild change.

Imagine if they added wacky, game-changing shit like a trinket that replaced a hero's bleed effects with blight instead, made occultist's skills more powerful while costing torchlight, caused Vestal and Crusader skills to apply 'searing' DoTs, a rare unbreakable skeleton key trinket that makes trapped curios a non-issue, etc.

Something about Vvulf getting resurrected as a skeleton by a necromancer.

>>168535570

it seems like simple file swap, you should ask someone who did reskins

but backer musketeer is just arbalest reskin

>>168535775
I dig the idea
I would make it divided into 2 mission mini campaign
first, you go short ruins and fight buffed necromancer, shitton of skellys and bandits along the way
second, you go kill Vvulf skeleton

you can go straight for revived Vvulf but if you kill Buff Necro first you recieve some buff that really helps with battle and bonus loot

Also, I would make Vvulf skelly throw strong blight bombs that would hit 2 targets

Did they nerf the sanitarium? I remember sometimes you'd get diseases cured if you sent someone in to get a quirk removed. I sent in 3 people all with diseases and all diseases still there.

>>168554462
pick the second one. leper is shit in warrens anyway because of choppers spamming bleed and he cant hit the vomit piggies and they need to die first. also, scattering is awful, you dont wanna miss with your intimidate. and his skills are shit, doesn't have withstand or hew.

Long Champion dungeon. I've already hit 16 rooms, just need 2 more. Used the last of my bandages.

All of my stuns failed. I won the day but all of my heroes were on death's door. I had to eat all of my food just to keep them alive with their insane bleeds.

So, "fuck it, I'll just collect the treasures I left in the past rooms and bail on the dungeon"

I take ONE step - hunger hits, and I'm out of food that I just rushed to eat. Literally all 4 on death's door again. I had to immediately bail.

It's the first time I've thought "fuck this game." Not because it's unfair, because it's not, but because I feel like it's wasting my fucking time.

how would /dadg/ feel about darkest dungeon if it had 0 RNG but was all strategy instead? Balanced for this of course and still just as difficult. Would you prefer it over regular darkest dungeon or is the RNG part of the fun for you?

>>168561214
I'm honestly not sure how you'd balance the game with that. I can't say I'd just prefer the game just because there isn't RNG in it.

Always bully courtiers buy de-stressing while they can't do shit about it.

>>168562848
well for starters things like crits and misses would be removed except in situations where you use a move to deal double damage or a move to make things miss you. Then you would balance the game around pure strategy and planning your moves and turns out against enemies and their teams.

>>168561214
Has there ever been a 2-D turn based RPG without at least SOME RNG? I feel like it almost doesn't work.

>>168563506
don't think there is, which is why I asked if RNG was part of the fun for people. I do think it could work if the main focus was on strategy though, of course you'd need someone who has a good understanding of stuff like that to make a decent game that isn't too hard or too easy.

>>168561214
I like the RNG aspect. Just hitting, stunning, moving and healing back and forth feels less interesting.

Would you kiss a Vestal?

>>168564828
but girls cant kiss girls...

Did they massively nerf the bleed chance of Wyrd Reconstruction at some point? I've been spamming it a lot lately and it's been resisted 90% of the time, making me figure he's a much better heal bot than Vestal. But I remember it being much less potent during Early Access, so I'm not sure if I was just super unlucky or what.

So am I just carrying too many consumables or do Antiquarians only really shine on short runs?

>>168566698
short runs since you have limited inventory

>>168562902
newfag here, can courtiers not use their stresser in position 1? how can you tell where an enemy can use their abilities?

>>168566698
I just brought one on a long apprentice, ended up with a profit of almost 40000 with 25000 in pure gold, 5000 from the trinkets she got during camping, and the quest reward of 7500. Also, she surprisingly did very well in combat after the buff from the alcohol curio in the warrens. long apprentice or medium veteran are probably the furthest you can take one for a high profit without going too risky. Pair one up with a GR with poison darts if you want to blight the shit out of almost anything

>>168567973
Its mostly from just learning, but the courtiers cannot use the wine in the front row, and can only use a weak, inaccurate stab. In fact many enemies have inferior or useless attacks where the only purpose is to move them back to where they need to be, like the Cultist Brawler's "Stumbling Scratch", the Fungal Artillary's "Escape Cloud" or the Bone Defender's "Clumsy Axeblade" which all do little to no damage, but move them forward or backward so they can use their other abilities again. As for the Courtiers, their weak attack cannot move them, so unless you push them back, they are pretty much a non-issue for the rest of the fight

Hover over the attack.

The left arrow shows where you need to be to perform that action.

The right arrow shows who you can target with that action.

>I knew about those for heroes, sort of, thanks

Oh, I misread your post, sorry. My brain turned courtier to jester. My bad.

For enemies, I think the only way to know is by checking the wiki out of game, or just experience.

What are the ideal quirks for the crusader?

>>168568356
>Pair one up with a GR with poison darts if you want to blight the shit out of almost anything
Generally been doing that, or just spamming +dodge. My issue is I just run out of inventory space so quickly, to the point I'm wondering if I should bring less holy water etc.

>>168569474
Slugger is good for any melee hero. Unholy hater or unholy slayer quirks are always funny on crusaders. I did DD1 with a crusader with Tough locked in. He may have also had hard skinned and meditator at the time, but he's helped a lot of other heroes level to 6 since then so I don't know for sure.
He also has fear of eldritch, slowdraw, and the yips as severe quirks, so he was maybe not exactly A team material for the DD. Funny how that works out, isn't it?

>Fight swine prince with fresh team
>Hellion gets critted for 27

Should have brought an Arbalest.

>>168571053

Jester, yes, Leper, no.

Prot will trigger on every hit the jester takes, while Dodge, alas, will make almost no difference on the Leper at all. Think having a dime and needing 50 cents to park, vs. a nickel off every parking space you'll ever need to use.

>>168571053
Hard skinned is worth it on the jester because he could use the extra defense if he gets hit. That, quickdraw, and slugger are the ideal 3 perks for Jester. There are better options for leper. Leper is slow so he needs speed quirks.

Do different classes have different spawn rates on the coach?

Dismas died in week 29. I'm in week 68 now and still haven't seen a replacement highwayman despite checking every week. On the other hand, it seems like there are 1-2 vestals each week.

>>168572992
sometimes the game just likes you mess with you on your coach rolls. It took me like 30 weeks to even get a Leper and maybe two Arbalest at most while I'm drowning in Occultists

>>168573572
>>168572992
There was a new feature added in the most recent patch that puts the stagecoach on a "deck" system. The deck is slightly stacked to favor healers, because healers are the core of a party. (Which I think is RedHookese for "the hardest role to replace") If you have too many healers, turn off that option for a while.

>>168574556
I forgot about that setting, which is funny cause I have level several level 4 vestals by now so I really dont want anymore

>>168574556
>turn off that option for a while.
and ruin strict mode? fuck that
Just make profane vestals/ stab occultists

>>168565937
as your heros level their various res goes up too. their bleed res climbs faster than wyrd's bleed proc. the only one still at risk by legend level is leper and even then it is only a 10-20% chance i think.

Of course if you get a trinket or debuff that makes you bleed vulnerable it could still happen.

or afflicted...

>>168574556
>>168574792
Does it ruin strict mode? I don't care about the achievement, just that I'm playing what's intended

>>168574792
>>168574556

For me, it's just that I want to hit the caretaker goals to get a level 6 for each class.

But I haven't seen a higwayman or an arbalest in like 30 weeks.

>>168575482
I feel like they have a few issues with the current update. Every week I see at least 2-3 vestals out of the 6-7 heroes in the coach, among other somewhat unrelated issues, like missing text or the crow not fleeing

What are the best quirks? What are the worst?
What about diseases?

Why doesn't the description of Fated show stats? How does this quirk work? I need a slow walkup on this quirk.

>>168576358

As a general rule, I'll lock in any of the "X Hater" quirks. In part because they're really good dmg and stress buffs, and in part because I want to eventually get a hero that has all four - Eldritch Hater, Mankind Hater, Beast Hater and Unholy Hater. The process turning them into a churning death machine with a heart devoid of all but hate.

Also, some are no brainers for their class like Natural Swing for Leper and Slugger for Jester.

Literally the entire point is that it's unfair.

>>168582187
how is it unfair?
you can prepare accordingly

>>168567973
You can only really know through trial and error

brigand musketmen can only use "rushed shot" (low damage attack with low accuracy) when in position 1
brigand knife dudes as well as bone soldiers can only use shitty "harmless poke" type attacks in rank 4
If you come across a big brigand+knife brigand + gun brigand combo, if you pull the gun brigand with occultist/bounty hunter, that disables both the gun dude and the knife dude.
Bone crossbowmen can only use a weak bayonet attack in ranks 1 and 2
those little mushroom men who stay at the back can only use "escape cloud" (low damage with very low chance of blight on front two ranks) when in ranks 1 and 2
fish shamans and bone flagmen can only stab in rank 1
fish shielders can only use protect in rank 4
cultist brawlers can only use "stumbling scratch" in rank 4 or 3

Most of these also push that particular enemy forwards or backwards, to their preferred position

There are probably more

>>168565937
at early levels, average bleed resistance is around 30-40, and bleed chance is about 60, so there's a chance of getting bled of about 20-30%

at high levels, average bleed resistance is around 90-100, and bleed chance is about 90, so there's a chance of getting bled of about 0-10%

I could never understand what exactly happens in this comic. Hell, I can't understand what happens in a few.

>>168583309

http://history1800s.about.com/od/civilwar/f/Civil-War-Battle-Flags.htm

>Civil War soldiers placed great importance on the flags of their regiments, and men would sacrifice their lives defending a regimental flag to protect it from capture by the enemy.
>With the regimental flags generally in the middle of the fighting, there was always the possibility that a flag could be captured. To a Civil War soldier, the loss of a regimental flag was a colossal disgrace. The entire regiment would feel shamed if the flag was captured and carried away by the enemy.
>Conversely, to capture the battle flag of an opponent was considered a great triumph, and captured flags were cherished as trophies. Accounts of Civil War battles in newspapers at the time would generally mention if any enemy flags had been captured.

I know this isn't a civil war game, but the main point is that the flag is very important in the comic. In this comic, the MaA and his subordinates are trying to capture the enemy flag. In the end, he succeeds, but at the cost of the lives of all his men, so now he suffers from survivor's guilt.

To show his grief, he also has barks like this:

>I knew only to follow orders! Forgive me brothers! (depressed)
>I should have died with my brothers!(depressed)
>Better to die than suffer this regret I bear.(depression)
>I can hear the screams of my brothers! (unholy judgement)
>I am forgiven! I am free! (powerful)
>The sting of injury dulls the grief for my brothers! (masochism)
>Hear me brothers! I will redeem my debt! (stalwart)
>My brothers! I can feel their blessings!(stalwart)

>>168583831

And now, a sole-survivor with PTSD, guilt and fresh, mental scars. I could probably guess how the rest of the crew wound up in the Hamlet.
