Week 2: Four Lepers arrive at the Hamlet. I had never seen such a thing, but in my heart I knew what had to be done. I had to raise them to be the very best, like no one ever was.

Week 42 (pic related): My Leper army has begun their assault on the Darkest Dungeon. The Shuffling Horror was felled in brutal fashion and now they must Light the Way. A Jester will always accompany them because my Lepers love lute music.

At least one good thing came out of this mission. everyone got so damn stressed out. I think this was the first time I had to retreat. I kept trying to find a battle to stall out so I could at least cure my Leper of his affliction, but every god damn battle had at least one swine spawn or a marcher.

>>169448286
Yes. I think it's a adjustable difficulty called Never Again in your option menu. Heroes won't return once they completed a mission but in Radiant mode you can send them back there. However, the penalty of sending a hero that's been to DD is starting the quest with heavy stress and lower chance for virtue during a resolve check. Do your guys a favor and don't send them back to hell.

Yep, 6 Lepers and 4 Jesters for that campaign. Douple Leper isn't bad actually, the DPS is amazing.
>>
>>169455310
Can you elaborate on the double leper comp ? Any drawbacks to it ?
>>
>>169456963
not him, but lack of backline damage is the main issue. PD really does mesh well with them, what with the corpse clearing, shuffling, and gimping the backline. maybe bring an arb or range GR to solve the issue
>>
>On sale for the PS4
Should I?
>>
>>169456963
Lepers with +ACC trinkets obliterate the front line while the Jester one shots rank 3 with Finale at the start of the fight. Another back liner (HM, Arb, etc) takes care of rank 4.

Always run the Leper heal just in case, Purge is also helpful for clearing corpses. Only drawback is position inflexibility. Shuffles can fuck you up.

>>169461627
I was gonna Mark'd for Death Vvulf. If I bring MaA, who should compliment him?
>>
>>169461479
this was my strategy, it worked well for me at least

bring all the shovels

Man at Arms
Tough ring + Ancestor's Bottle
relied on guarding whoever was marked by the bomb and occasionally used bolster for a helpful dodge boost
he stayed in rank 3 until the boss fight, when he was put in rank 2 so he could attack if needed

Hound Master
feather crystal (?) and the cudgel
rarely guarded, and used stun a bunch against the enemies leading up to the boss, didn't need the stun on the boss, so he got moved back later to let the MaA take his spot

Occultist
the debuff cauldron and junias head

healed and debuffed the bosses's damage, marking when needed

Leper
Life crystal and the surgical gloves

he was the front attacker, and because the boss can guard units, the leper could hit him even if he was in rank 3. he does a lot of damage and has high health, although you can probably just use a BH instead.

Go on? Why would you want me to go on?
You wouldn't want to hear about a sweet, innocent young lad being led away from his home by an eccentric doctor, a woman of the cloth, and a savage barbarian into a room in the tavern, everyone who sees it ignoring it out of fear of these exceptionally dangerous women who they know will absolutely shatter whatever innocence the boy has before the night is through...
>>
>>169461984
but anon i do, i would love to hear/read every excruciating detail of it
>>
>>169462382
What details? Details such as how they tease the boy at first, not making any moves on him but just building his stress until finally his nervousness gets the better of him, how he lunges for the door only to have the power Hellion grab him and swing him at the wall, lifting him a few feet off the air as she viciously forces her tongue down his throat as tears begin to freely flow down his face?
Details about how she tosses the boy into the waiting arms of the vestal, who holds his squirming body as the doctor uncorks a bottle of powerful aphrodisiac that would surely make his body respond exactly how they wanted, all he could do is meekly whimper and beg?...

Nah, you certainly wouldn't

The blacksmith image in the game kind of made me want to dust off my anvil and forge something again. I hate when I get inspired by something and it causes me to lose focus on whatever else I am doing.

I legitimately wish I could settle on what to do with my life so I could dedicate myself to it wholly and become proficient instead of juggling a few things. At least some of my things are passive with little or relaxed input, I guess.

Sorry to make this my blog but I guess I had to vent.

Come now anon, the saucy tale of this young boy being forced to deeply inhale the concoction and swiftly become erect as all three women grin maliciously isn't that interesting. Surely there are many things you'd rather hear about than the vestal tilting this poor young boys head up to kiss her deeply as the doctor used her o so sharp knife to quickly remove the child's pants and reveal his now throbbing member to them all, the boy moaning a cry of protest right into the vestals mouth as the barbarians firm and calloused hand takes a strong grip of the lads delicate shaft...

>>169470731

BH has a niche as a sort of enemy shuffling hero, he has both Uppercut and Come Hither meaning you can get the most out of move trinkets. Sending frontliners to the back and backliners to the front is essentially a debuff, it prevents theme using their most annoying moves.

You also get some mark synergy on top of that, and he's versatile in that he can attack from/to Rank 3 instead of being stuck to the frontlines. The issue with the hero is that he is meant to be THE Marking hero but the HM's Mark is better, I don't really understand why.

One thing he does specialise in is killing Humans, the problem is a) All the human bosses are out of his reach by default and b) You can bring an Eldritch hunter to the Weald and have the same kind of success, and since Occultist already has a Pull AND a Mark, he's already doing half the BH's work.

On top of that he doesn't get any sort of sustain or defensive buffs, whereas Hellion, Leper, Crusader, Occultist all have things to do if they're not attacking. HWM doesn't either, but since he got Riposte he does have a better niche and can shuffle himself around parties.

All in all BH is just a versatile Jack of all trades but doesn't even excel at this own specialisations. Kinda boring and not particularly helpful but at least he can be useful, unlike the Crusader.

Thoughts on the haste chalice?

>>169487984
I always give my vestals trinkets that improve their healing, I need my vestals to heal as much as possible, so my whole party stays at max health and monsters despair trying to make a dent into my vestal-fueled rape train.

Let's see what it does
>+8 SPD on First Round
>+1 SPD after First Round
>-25% Stun Skill Chance

I would only use it if I play the vestal offensive with
>Mace Bash
>Illumination
>Hand of Light
>Divine Comfort
but I don't know how viable that is, I never played a vestal like that.
>>
>>169489269
If you play vestal in offensive position, be sure to give her a profane scroll trinket: The healing boost is pretty great, not to meantion the increased prot.
>>
>>169482831
Photomania and Quick Reflexes are a must if you're running backrow healer with Junia's Head. After that it's really up to personal preferences; I like Hard Noggin to help against Stuns personally.

Going fast as Vestal isn't important, in some cases it's detrimental as you want to be healing off damage at the end of a turn.

It's also taking up a slot that would go to a +healing trinket so it's just not worth it if you already have one of those.

>>169498119
By design, yes.
If the enemies were to go full on tryhard you wouldn't survive a single fight without losing at least 1 of your guys, and seeing how every dungeon you are expected to survive at least 5 fights, the enemeies HAVE to be sub-optimal for the player to even have a chance. And they already are in somce cases.
Also, other than the more-than-one-fight, you have other disadvantages the enemy dont have to deal with, like stress or not knowing the exact move-order, further gimping you, and ofc, they have better stats. So by design you cant have a fair fight, not because human woud streamroll the AI, but the oposite: the AI would have insane advatage over the human player.

So the very least, to even the playing field, the game should grant you 1 (one) chance to save a guy before delivering the final blow, even if that means fudging the dice (say when the gangraped guy on deathsdoor suffering from bleed gets his turn before anyone else, he is guaranteed to pass the DD check ONCE, or the enemy wont attack him again unless one of your guys had a turn, then regardless how its spent the AI is free to attack again, and the ugy DDprotection form above is also gone), at the cost of maybe scaling bakc whatever handicap teh AI currently uses.

Sometimes, it feels like this game picks a random set of loot, heroes or monsters and just spams them in one generated dungeon. It's like I see and get the same shit over and over, I haven't even got one heirloom thus far.

So I'm playing the game and I'm loving it.
I want to try a new run and I've seen a lot of mods to add skins and characters.
Speaking about the skins, is there a way to change them ingame? Like having the same class with multiple skins
>>
>>169533475
I think it just disappears. The only benefit is the potential for several prisms and a weird trinket. I don't know why they have such random buffs aside from the first effect of speed or accuracy
>>
>>169533475
I don't think so, at least nothing happened when I ignored it, that said you should still do it and kill the nest for mad dosh
>>
>>169533675
yeah, the mods just add additional skins, rather than replacing existing skins
>>
>>169533675
In the vanilla game, each class has 4 skins for different color palettes, which are all separate image files in the game's files, so you could probably give a hero multiple different skins by replacing one of the 4 recolors, but I dont know for sure, I never messed with that stuff yet.
>>
>>169533675

The skins just replace the colour palette changes so they're super easy to add in.

Unfortunately alot of them are broken so I tend to just stick with regular stuff.

What am I doing wrong with the arbalest? I just can't seem to get any good damage out of her, without a mark her attacks rarely hit above 6, with mark she gets to about 9, sure she has a high crit chance but her fucking crits hit fucking 14 damage.
Am I doing something wrong, do I need unerring and double damage trinkets? How do I use this black bolt bitch right?

>>169541249
okay smartiypants, what should i do to prevent in asignle runa agianst all cases like: spiders anniliathing anyone out of my party, a treant oneshotting a guy to DD, dogs spreading shit and bleeding, all before i can even get an action in, while im on my way to a boss that ate up all my predungeon options.

The answer is fucking nothing, and the reason these, and many more cases dont happen every battle is because the AI is already shackled so truly rage inducing shit usually gets prevented. Not by your 1337 5k11z, but by the game itself giving you breaks. This is a fact.

And yes, we have many options once we get a turn, but until that, all we can do is influence the outcome +-10-20% with trinkets, and hope for the best, which is FAR form reliable, and barel even statisticaly significant.

Oh come now anon, you still continue on after this long? Look, it's just a simple story of the barbarian using her terrifyingly strong grip to cause the boy just enough pain, but not so much that the pain overtakes the building pressure as he's trapped in the strong hug and kiss of the vestal, the plague doctor slowly pulling up her thick coat to reveal two shapely, pale legs covered in a pair of transparent green stockings and no panties covering hairless lips between her legs, glowing in the candle light thanks to the sticky liquid slowly building up.

i never said you should be able to ALWAYS heal up form DD. You should get 1(one) action, regardless who, regardless what, before the guy gets a DD check. It miught be a useless guy, a stunned guy, so it would eb far from guaranteed save, but it would help a LOT in making it feel less bullshit.

Two of the main, standard enemies you'll be encountering do 6 bleed damage per turn on an average attack

Come prepared for that

I think one of the boss's attacks does blight damage so you might as well take a few antivenoms just in case

>>
>>169545796
Actually, that only happens if there's one enemy left that isn't double-sized or a shield fish. You can drag encounters hundreds of turns long without getting stress-penalties or reinforcements. It's a pretty common strategy in the darkest dungeon levels to abuse fights with two weak enemies to fully heal and stress-heal your party.
>>
>>169545119
No, it's the same as letting them fly away

Learn curio interactions to get the most out of your loot. There's obvious ones like using a key on a locked chest, but then there's ones like using medical herbs on an iron maiden or bandages on a rack of knives. The best one is using torches on the piles of books, it gives you a chance for a free virtue that pretty much makes the rest of the dungeon a cakewalk.

On guard are great for heavy damage dealers. You want to give that to someone like HWM, Hellion or Abomination so they can first round, one round the enemy. Great for anyone who can disable or kill the enemy like PD or MAA to stun or debuff. The whole point is to start the fight with a great advantage or to end it quickly in your favor.

Somewhat less optimized for healers unless you happen to start out with less HP pools in the next fight but that shouldn't happen or otherwise you would abandon quest or risk losing heroes, party wipe and trinkets.
>>
>>169551321
That only happens if the enemy lets you live that long. In champion runs, you will run into shitters like Swine Skiver who will cripple your party before you can buff.

I miss the first few weeks when you just grabbed anyone and didn't care about anyone.

Also, what's better on an occultist, evasive or deadly?
>>
>>169562912
I have this dilemma too. I nab anyone with one or two preferable quirks and skill set. Over time, I spent so much time and gold on them that it's hard to let them go and purposely sending them to slaughter isn't feasible nor profitable. So the only way is to literally boot them manually in order to get fresh recruits or never retreat a quest and just keep going until one or two die. Right now, 90% of my roster are all resolve lv 5+ and I only have one or two heroes that are able do beginner quests.

I'd more likely give it to Jester than Houndmaster. Cry Havoc isn't very good and Guard Dog is passable, but you're better off using Man-at-Arms' Defender. Jester on the other hand can make use of any of his skills depending on what build you run with him and he can use them all effectively. But I'm extremely biased towards Jester, so you're probably right about poochman.
>>
>>169595045
I don't like the overlap between harvest and slice off. Running both seems like insane overkill and a waste of a slot. Otherwise I agree, all his other abilities are unique and useful enough individually to say that he is among the most versitile heroes in the game.

I mean, going through the heroes in my barracks, I can quickly tell who has the most useful abilities by looking at what skills I upgraded all the way to 5 and what skills are still level 1.

Abomination is cheating, since you don't have to choose 4 skills and can just upgraded everything anyway.

Plague doc is great, with the least useful ability being emboldening vapes, in my opinion.

Hellion is very versitile as well.

But Vestal is another class that only has very few useful abilities. But it doesn't really matter, since she is a living healbot anyway. You will mostly only ever use heal, aoe heal and self heal with a small poke. Dazzling light becomes garbage when you have the scroll, so you are forced to run Illumination to lower dodge or mace bash to counter shuffles, and I'm never really happy with either.

That's why you run tome of holy healing instead. It keeps dazzling light viable, and you don't take the hit to speed scroll gives you. The stress from junia's head is still manageable if you don't have any +stress perks, and the -10% health and difference in healing strength barely matters.

Abomination is based.

All you need to do is stun people and throw in the occasional blight, then you transform if some bullshit happens. The extra stress is worth not having your run be crushed by lmao 4groupers!! or something similar.

What makes him good is his heal, you can use any free turns to just keep him completely healthy, meaning he's always in top shape when you need him the most. It means like the Leper he can take alot of punishment.

I run Ancestor's Scroll and Restraining Padlock and it makes him super flexible for those long runs. Alternatively you can just give him some damage items and combo with Jester and go ham whenever you feel like it.

What do you guys think?

Plague Doctor-Vestal-Hellion-Hellion

I failed the first time I went into DD3 but to me this seems like a party capable of demolishing it. I replaced a rank 2 Houndmaster with another Hellion because I don't plan on guarding or stunning with the HM anyways.
>>
>>169608228

I pretty much used exactly your previous comp, PD-Vestal-Houndmaster-Hellion is a nearly flawless composition in my opinion.

Double Hellions sounds fun I guess, but HM's worth it for his Mark, and with Dog Biscuits actually does respectable damage with Hound's Rush. The Guard I absolutely use because it has saved so many runs being able to delay a character from getting focused down, and the Dodge stacking makes him very survivable.

I can see the value of having a Dedicated YAWP-er whilst the Pos 1 Hellion is the damage dealer, it's a good division of duties.

My favorite is PD-GR-Vestalka-Hellion.

GR is hitting only teleporting guy. Hellion needs to help if that worthless bitch fails to crit and kill him with a single strike. PD should always stun and use blight sometimes.

You don't need to stun with hellion because PD can stun both of them with her stun grenade.

Didn't do a single champion run yet, level 5 heroes are enough for DD.
>>
>>169616703
They fill out the enemy types a fair bit, which makes new champ missions very very difficult if they spawn a lot. Individually they range from very inconvenient to extremely difficult. They're all priority targets.

moon ring aka literally the best trinket in the entire game?
>>
>>169621626

The Dark Trinkets don't really seem they compensate for the extra risk at all.

+10% Stress IN THE DARK. Why?

The thing about the Sun Rings is they give massive bonuses conditional to strong light but that's already the safest position to be in, which is why they're so good.

Good for hunting Shamblers but any team of level 2s with normal trinkets can do that in a Beginner dungeon.

Little known fact is that you dont even need to kill wilbur to complete the mission, you can run away and still succeed so long as the prince/king/god is dead
>>
>>169622819
grow a pair. pitch black is not that scary, especially in darkest mode. and if you bring a couple moon rings, it becomes almost trivial, since the damage boost is insane and the accuracy means you will hit everything easily. The loot you get is well worth it and you can massacre mobs so fast that stress will not be an issue. Just make sure to have good scouting or a shuffle resistent team, since scouted battles can't surprise you. And stick to short dungeons if you go no torches, since you will run out of inventory space anyway and stress becomes even less of an issue.

And if you ain't ever killed a champion shambler, you are a scrub.

There's pretty much never a reason to run both Harvest and Slice Off at the same time, but both have their purpose depending on what you're fighting. Overall I pick Slice Off more to turn him into a crit machine, it's generally better. If I'm fighting a lot of bleed-weak enemies and I don't have a Houndmaster or if I'm fighting a Pounder or something I'd take Harvest. Really the only skill I only take in extremely specific scenarios with Jester is Inspiring Tune, it's only ever worth it to stress heal like that if everything is dead and you're farming off the lone weakling enemy, but even then you're just asking to get crit and have your work undone. It's almost always better to take something else and just let him stress heal at camp.

Ok moment of truth. Should I give into the greed? The hellion's got the camp buff + a 30%er. Everyone seems to be fine stress and hp wise, but I still dont feel sure enough in taking on a albeit lvl 3 shambler.

Any must get spells against him? Also I should shuffle the hellion/hm in the back and vestal/auntyq in the front right?

Shambler hunting is Abom's territory. Rake is a stupidly effective move at getting rid of the tentacles.
>>
>>169640920

That single turn is the most important turn in every battle.

The simple act of disabling or bursting down one enemy before it can do anything, in every battle, is what slows down the snowballing effect of stress and damage that builds up over the course of a mission.

Even if you run plenty of Enemy Surprised buffs, you're still getting bonus dodge as an extra buff which means it's still doing something.

>>169641237

The difference between a PD with speed quirks and one without is night and day, honestly.

Keep in mind that speed's affect on turn order is random, but requires a specific difference (I think it's about 7) to guarantee outspeeding your enemy. If you can get a guaranteed advantage in an RNG-based game it's always gonna be worth it.

The thing about Speed quirks is that they are giving you really significant, game-changing amount of an important stat that is really hard to boost otherwise, even from trinkets. It's why they're so valuable.

Heirlooms, you mean. Roughly speaking early game, until you've finished forge/guild discounts heirlooms are all important. It's not a good idea to go 100% heirlooms cause you need some gold to keep the ship floating, but heirlooms are more important.

I will never not be irked at how there is no sense of closure or denouement to the weald. The coves have always been haunted by fish and always will be, the pigmen will probably never be exterminated for good, and the ruins are clearly the work of the necromancer coven, but the weald is just corrupted, it's never exactly spelled out by what. The Hag, yes, but the Ancestor's line about killing her only implies that she won't eat anybody else, not that the corruption has stopped. What is even going ON in that poisonous jungle?

Why don't playable characters leave corpses?
>>
>>169674147

In a stream from last year, they said they like the idea, but they'd have to draw unique corpses for each hero, but it's sort of on the backburner for now since they've been busy with adding the new champion monsters, Crimson Court stuff, and whatever other stuff they're planning on adding to the game.

Trudy said she's working on Darkest Dungeon full time now, so we should probably be expecting more art like the Dungeon entrances eventually.

We already have dungeon entrances. The stream they talked about hero corpses is from months ago.

The jist of it is that time designing corpses is time they could spend designing new monsters, curios, and other stuff instead, so it's low priority.

>Brigand Pounder

Christ Almighty, I was not ready for that. What's the best method for taking this boss down? I went in with an Occultist, Highwayman, Bounty Hunter, and MAA and got it down to about half health before I missed an attack on the matchstick guy and promptly lost my team to a cannon + blunderbuss combo.

I'm thinking of bringing a Vestal to group heal to counteract the Fusilier, either two Highwaymen or two Houndmasters to do AOE each round/keep the match guy down, and a frontliner who can stun to keep the knife guy up front stopped.

Is there a better strategy other than going for a quick kill? I was trying to mark with my first team, but I wasn't able to take advantage of the marks since I had to focus too much on killing the match guy.

You can go slow and kill everyone every turn, with a focus on the matchguy so the cannon never attacks. But it can take a while.

Crusader, HWM, Vestal, Jester.

The intent was using Jester's Finale to deal with last stage, but due to distribution of damage/stress, I ended up with the meme duo being the ones to finish it off. I prefer vestal to occultist because I don't like relying on his heals in a party with no secondary healing. Crusader&HWM were chosen because cheevos are nice and they fit decently well on the mission.

Starting work on a possible custom class. Hopefully I can balance it properly and make something somewhat unique or interesting, and worth using.

Art is going to be a problem so I'll need to practice some more, and get a good feel for DD's style so it hopefully won't look too clashing.

Apart from art though, it seems sort of straightforward to make your own effects and buffs and mess with the files. Just time consuming.

How does a standard-bearer that is centered around buffing your team sound?
>>
>>169688289
Did you have stress problems before the heart?

I'd have something like PD-Vestalka-GR-?(probably BH or Leper) for DD4.
I've seen a 20-weeks run on youtube and that guy had huge stress problems on the ancestor stage.
>>
>>169688652
Sounds nice enough, but it depends on the buffs of course.
>>
>>169688714
>Did you have stress problems before the heart?
First stage can be stress heavy and they replicas put a decent amount of focus stress on my vestal, but anticipating it I used jester's stress heal to buff up her stress resistance.

The only affliction during the fight was HWM losing his shit 2 rounds before the killing blow on the boss, he barely survived it too,

I have, honestly, no clue how one would do a 20 weeks run. I suspect level 5 characters were involved? That alone would make stress a bigger issue than it normally is.

I don't think team comp is supremely important on this fight so long as it's mildly competent and well equipped, tho I'd warn you against using a leper. Second stage made my crusader nearly useless, despite having holy lance equipped. It is certain to do worse to a leper in my opinion. As a consiquence of this I found it to be way harder than I remembered it. Tho it still can be stunned so it's not quite that big a deal.
>>
>>169689490
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upsTiMNaPE0

I'm well aware about 2nd stage, Stygian is my 3rd playthrough. I didn't use Leper there before but Ancestor shuffles himself to the front rows so Leper can hit him sometimes.

Hellion would be better but I don't have a second one.

Character skills.

Your leper is also your Armor smith.

Your Jester also runs the brothel.

The Vestal is doing her best in the temple.

You could even mix it up and have them assigned randomly (Man at Arms who's a healer, for example). You'd be risking a lot more when sending them on missions, but getting experience would make them better at their job skill.
>>
>>169682748
For a while I thought some classes had bonuses when interacting with curios, like the PD having a bonus interacting with alchemy tables was pretty obvious to me at the time. Sadly, such a thing does not exist. That's something that'd be pretty cool to include, should even come out with the Crimson Court imo, ofc with all the necessary rebalancing.

The focus was having auras based each Virtue, like Powerful or Courageous, and would give buffs similar to those. For example

>Powerful Aura
>+10% or 15% Damage (actual Virtue is 25% with a 25% chance to buff ally with +15% damage)
>+1 Speed

Some were changed a bit to avoid overlap, like Courageous, Vigorous, and Stalwart, which all focused on stress.


>Courageous Aura
>+20% Stress Resist
>heal 1 Stress every turn


>Stalwart Aura
>+10% Prot
>+15% Stun/Move/Bleed/Blight/Debuff Resist


>Vigorous Aura
>+30% Healing
>heal 2 - 3 Health every turn

and for the sake of completion,

>Focused Aura
>+5% Crit
>+10 Accuracy
>>

Absolutely kill matchstick fag on the first hit or stun him. Either one would stop the main threat but the brigands will be the next threat. then keep at least one or two heroes as the main DPS after you disable the matchstick. Musketeer/Arby helps a lot if you boosted their speed, damage and accuracy then you can reliably ohko matchstick at the beginning of each round. Make sure you slotted quickshot on her plus SPD trinkets so she can double tap reliably if you happen to have a spare turn. Heal whenever you can, if you have occultist then you have to start the heals early at 60% HP, vestals have more flexibility and use first aid from Arby/Musk's skill set. Boosting up bleed resist can help since the cutthroat can crit and bleed you to a early grave.

>>169705282
Obviously it could use some fine tuning, like looking at it right now +5% crit for the whole team does seem too strong but yeah, just wanted to throw out the idea.

Predictions:
>encounter
-He makes footsteps that can be heard and will likely spawn in the next battle on your map if you scouted of two-three steps in the corridors. He will only spawn if you're marked with the Crimson Curse (mark debuff)
-A Hag-like battle with a Pyre instead of a Cauldron
>battle
He will have 4 skills like everyone else including a auto skill
-Basic Hammer attack that CC Marks your heroes and it will do more damage if he uses it on Marked heroes
-Stress attack by verses, kinda like Crusader's
-Pyre grab that takes one of your heroes and burns them. Each time they are burnt, he will gain more PROT/Dodge until it caps. You can destroy the pyre but doing that will buff his attacks. This means you can fight him either form whether he's buffed to be resilient or more damaging
-Stake attack that's AoE or debuffs

Crimson Curse is either a mark debuff or you are notified before choosing a quest that certain locations are marked and you have a chance to encounter him on those quests.

-his auto skill is the constant burn on your heroes
-instead of increasing prot/dodge, what would be more interesting is he can get two decent immunities or 20% prot/10+ dodge. But the catch is, he can't choose them himself; making this boss always refreshing to fight and terrifying because his two everchanging, random buffs are more than just ramblings of a madman: you can't reliably prepare for him
-he has human/unholy race so bring in bounty hunters and crusaders to out-smite his obsessed heresy
-it's fine to bring with you blight/bleed skills but if he rolls with both bleed/blight immunity then it makes such skills useless for those turns until he interchanges his immunity into another buff for the following turn
-if you hear his stalking footsteps, it's recommended that you change into reliable skills before you take a few more steps to trigger his boss fight
-he can be surprised and like shambler/collector will appear in the next battle if you retreat

I kind of wish Bleed and Blight were a bit different from each other. Like bleed causes them to take additional damage or starts out doing less damage but ramps up every turn. Maybe blight could have something like -resistances to those affected.
>>
>>169682748

I'd like to see some real effort put into procedural generated maps. In practice the saminess never actually matters, but there's alot of room for innovation there, like having multiple elevations, secret passages, bridges, a map, areas that are separate within a zone that reflects the environment and is a bit more graphically interesting.

The rehashing area bosses thing has to go, even if it means say..making a buffed Swinetaur the boss of Apprentice dungeons and the waiting until Veteran level to start bringing out the big guns.

Completely new classes, even if they're just reskins and slight rehashes of old concepts. Some things could remain - the Leper is pretty iconic so I could see it being a staple of the series, and the Collector should definitely be a re-occuring enemy who can summon all the characters from the first DD.

More enemy types, more weird mechanics. There's tons of potential there and you don't have to try to drift too far from the game's central premise.
>>
>>169718730

Bleeds are often small DoTs that come off decently damaging attacks.
Blights are often high DoTs that come off low damaging attacks.

The distinction is obviously not that noticeable, but it's there.

I feel Bleed should have higher damage, last less turns and only affects a hero after it moves, with blight lasting longer with less overall damage and affects a hero before it moves.

Healing them in town is almost always guaranteed to cleanse all diseases at once. Either way, you're fucked.
>>
>>169722702
no, if you don't upgrade the sanitarium medical wards you can keep rabies for a long time.

However, I don't recommend keeping rabies in the late game. Accuracy starts becoming really important in champion dungeons because everything has dodge out the ass and good damage buffing trinkets are easier to find than those that buff accuracy. focus ring is great on low level heroes because they have no dodge anyway, but you need the dodge on high level heroes.
>>
Thanks for the help earlier with the Brigand Pounder. I went back with an Occultist, Houndmaster, Bounty Hunter, and Hellion and RNGesus blessed my path up to the fight.

Occultist provided weakening hexes against the stabby guy and cannon + healing and pulled the match/fusilier, Houndmaster and Bounty Hunter assisted with marking and taking down the matchman and attacked the cannon when they could, and the Helion stunned the front two if necessary and helped provide damage.

This game is bullshit at times with the RNG, but acing a fight or the feeling of coming back and sodomizing the dungeon/boss that just pushed your previous team's shit in is such a great reward.

Stress is the same but Heart Attacks don't insta kill right off the bat anymore. Now the first heart attack takes the hero to Death's Door, regardless of their hp at the moment, and a following heart attack kills them if they're still on Death's Door.

I really wish Guardian's Shield builds were more viable. You can spam buffs all dungeon long, but that and guarding are the only things he can do in the back. It's just not as practical as front-row guard/retribution/rampart MaA.

You COULD shuffle him around the formation with his own movement/skills or those of his allies, depending on the situation, and make him more dynamic that way.

Not like the shield debuffs him anywhere, right? MAA is startlingly versatile and fits well in a party with light or heavy shuffling.

You don't get it. You are supposed to give that and Hero's Ring to a hero and take a stress healing class with you. Then give the hero 100 stress. If the check failed, just heal the stress to 0 and start again. It can take a long time.
>>
>>169731746
I guess my issue is that the shield locks him into a specific style that isn't as good as the other ways he could be used. It's a defensive trinket, but you have to guard to make use of it since he's not going to be attacked much in the back. You don't really need the extra defense the trinkets gives you since he's practically immortal when guarding without it, though. At the same time, by locking him into position four, his versatility is stripped away since he's only able to guard and buff. In positions one and two he's able to use every skill, and in position three he's able to use every skill but crush.

If you're taking him out of position four at all you might as well bring a different trinket. The shield doesn't debuff him, but it'd just be taking up a trinket slot where you could have something actually useful equipped.
>>
>>169736262

I don't see the point of a Pos 4 MAA at all.

He's tanky as hell, he's designed to be up-front sponging the damage. At the back he's taking the place of a healer or utility hero who are immediately much more impactful.

For him to be at the back he would need the Shield trinket to provide a hefty stress reduction bonus to compensate for the extra stress attacks he'll be eating, but it doesn't.
>>
>>169736262
The idea behind the shield is to allow for this unorthodox playstyle, not to enforce it. It's mostly for novelty sake, but it can reasonably be used to utilise him as a support.

Much like the nefarious vestal item that spawned so many memes.
>>
>>169727642
He still marks with his hexes and BH/HM benefit from extra damage on those targets. I kept the fusilier and the cutthroat stunned or killed on most turns, so I didn't need much healing. He doesn't have Abyssal Artillery equipped, so I just had him mark the cannon so the team could continue attacking without wasting another hero's turn to mark for the extra damage.
>>
>>169737131
Profane Scroll actually makes rank 2 Vestal decent, though. It gives you an opportunity to use some of her skills you normally wouldn't touch, and she still keeps some utility as a healer.

Guardian's Shield doesn't help a rank 4 MAA much since being a bigger tank isn't what that playstyle needs. It pushes a buff-focused MAA, but doesn't actually give you anything to make his buffs more impactful. You could do that kind of support MAA just as well in any other position. Making his buffs stronger, or making his buffs last longer, or making his guards last longer to give you more turns to buff would be a better way to not only make the trinket better, but to also make it more unique and interesting to use.

Take a party that is both good at healing stress AND killing backrow enemies (where most of the stressfags like to hide) to a medium length journey.

Once you're done, camp and use a anti-ambush skill plus all your stress relief skills.

This is also a good way to remove disease if you bring a plague doctor and grave robber instead/also since you can cleanse the entire party.

The physical rewards are the only thing Red Hook still needs to do from the campaign, they already released all the in-game stuff.

not at all, simply most reliable. Crusader's stress heal is bretty good, tho weaker. Doggoman's is nice for general maintanence but not as a focused ability.

Grave Robber - XXXX- Man-At-Arms - XXXXX

Grave Robber is much faster than MaA, so she'll almost always go first. Have her lunge at a target (preferably a squishy 3rd row stressfag) and then have MaA use shield bash. It'll move GR back to 3rd rank so she can she lunge again.

>>169759212

>>169759086
The core of a party with shuffle is to have more than 1 shuffle charachter. Often you should pick more than one skill aswell. I don't like writing down party comp w/o an area in mind but here is a simple and fun ruins party:

GR-Vestal-HWM-Crusader

He's the strongest anti-stresser, and if you give him a finale/solo combo then there's not much else he can do other than buff/stress heal

With crusader/Dogmaster, they could be stress healing, but it's usually a better idea to just have them be killing people

Not necessarily.
Jester with solo/finale can work fine if your rank 2 can work in rank 3 (bounty hunter/highwayman/houndmaster/graverobber)

Highwayman with riposte+PBS can work fine dancing around with a crusader or leper

Apprentice Veteran Champion
BOOOOOOOM! 65% 70% 75%
MISFIRE! 35% 30% 25%

Can you assemble a team of only jesters that do nothing but spam finale in one large conga line? Is using stuff like feather crystals, berserker charms, candles, legendary bracers, quick draw charms and shit enough to make sure they take their turn in the right order, or do you need the right quirks as well?
>>
>>169792941
you'd need a fair amount of luck even with balancing the speed out that they'll go in the correct order since it's partly RNG based, so long as you have other skills to balance them out and lots of medicinal herbs it could work just remember that the Jester cannot hit the 4th slot
