I beat him very cleanly with this comp, the only thing to be careful of is stress as my Houndmaster was already at 50~ going into the Vvulf encounter. I got a really good fight, but otherwise he would have most likely gotten afflicted (which isn't the end of the world anyway). The fight itself isn't that hard, just have your MAA guard the bombs and keep your Hellion and Houndmaster spamming him down, don't bother with his minions he's just going to keep spawning more. Save them until he's already dead. But pretty much anything that can hit the 3rd and 4th rows, a MAA, and a healer should suffice. (Consider bringing a stress healer too if you REALLY struggle managing stress, a Jester would work best for that)

>>170158475
Arbalests are absolute garbage and posting an image showing them at level 6 does nothing to change this

Their mark is worst of all marks, their heal requires spam to be useful, bolas/suppressing fire are literal trash, blindfire is trash

Compared to real hitters like BH/HM/Hellion she is nothing

Like I said anon, some of us are just meant to be filthy casuals in life.

>>
>>170159196
You're trying to create a false narrative, turning this conversation from about Arbalest being bad into about the player being bad.

You're doing this because you know Arbalest is bad. You are implying Arbalest is bad when you make comments like "I understand if you can't get past veteran missions".

You're just trying to deflect the conversation so you don't have to deal with the reality of the situation. Sit down, fix your shitty computer.
>>
>>170159659
I am not trying to turn any narrative into any other. I believe the arbalest is very good, when you just flat out call everything about her trash, you cant possibly expect me to take anything you say seriously and you cant possibly think I'll reply in any other way than by telling you to git gud.

If you want trinkets, a Shambler might be what you want. If you focus your Crusader and GR/BH on the little ones and stack Blight on the Shambler (maybe Mark for added damage if you have a free turn), you should be alright anon.

People who don't mind being moved around.

Occultist + HWM/Graverobber/Jester/Crusader will all work fine. Occultist is there for heals, but give him a Cleansing Crystal since you face alot of bleed amps from the regular enemies.

You probably won't use these heroes in the next DD levels as they aren't so useful there, makes sense to put them on this one.

>>
>>170218672
Dungeon difficulty is the same is Radiant as it is in Darkest, excluding the final boss which is a bit easier. Most of what Radiant does differently is related to grinding, making it faster to get high-level heroes, and less punishing to lose them. That said, I think the laxer level-restrictions in Radiant kinda fuck with the flow of the game by letting you push off veteran dungeons until you're over-leveled for them, and by letting you completely ignore champion dungeons. I'd recommend Darkest for your first playthrough, unless you're really put off by grinding or just want a shorter campaign.

Some people don't think so apparently. To be fair it also changes hero balances/abilities, adds trinkets, adds items and adds more written lore, so they might also just enjoy some of those things more. It has more complex situations that demand more out of the player. I personally think PBD's balance is a bit wonky, but that's me.

A similar to the crow boss: If you don't use a camp ability to prevent ambushes, instead of the ambush, you might wake up to find gold, heirlooms, food, supplies, trinkets, etc missing. However, it's possible to find the monster in the dungeon and kill him to get your stuff back. Maybe make it a big rat monster or something or a dickass thief.

How about buffing Prophet so the fight won't be just debuffing him into oblivion so his rubles hit for 5 damage. He probably feels very lonely in the dungeon full of skeletons, you can't talk much with an undead, esp if one of them constantly spills his shitty wine on your scroll and books followed by "hey man don't worry, there are tons of books lying around here", seriously FUCK that guy.

Anyway, how about we get some people on those pews, you know those who wanted to listen to Prophet's prophecies. 2 of them will have abilities akin to madman, maybe slightly weaker in stress damage but with added side effects like acusation lowering blight resistance and dooms day lowering acc altho that would be too much. Also make them have low stun resist, lower hp in comparison to pews and make each one of them count as being independent in terms of stuns and skills but act as a whole, meaning only one skill per action turn from whole group. 3rd one however should have a brand new ability, lets say "blasphemous sanctuary" where all of 3 guys read out their scroll which buffs Prophet debuff and blight resistance.

I'm having a really fucking hard time not starting a Stygian run. I want to do my first Stygian when Crimson Court drops but who knows when that will be, could be the beginning of April, could be the end, could be pushed back again. I'm starting to feel like I should just play the damn game

houndmasters are really strong in the fight, see >>170156692
The big thing to worry about sending a 30 stress boy in is the battles leading up to Vvulf. You'll be fighting bandits and doggos, the Brigand Hunter and Bloodletter should be your primary targets since they cause AoE stress. Technically if you could have someone stress heal that off, you could be fine. A Jester could replace the Houndmaster, what else do you have?
>>
>>170277532
The Bloodletter is a bitch and overrated. Cutthroats are what gets you.

>Cutthroats are what gets you.
This. They are the real threats among the brigands after the Blanket Fire nerf ages ago.
>>
>>170277631
It's not his damage that's the problem, it's minimizing the stress he causes. Ignore him for too long and it'll add up real quick, damage can always be eaten or healed off leading up to him.

>>170277693
Trying to fight Vvulf without a Man-at-Arms would be very risky. Even guarding with your Houndmaster wouldn't be worth it since the bombs have 224% accuracy on detonation. That comp might DPS down fast enough to avoid casualties, but as I said it sounds pretty risky.
It's listed as Darkest difficulty, if you exit the dungeon you lose a hero (but he doesn't break any of your stuff then).

Arby, Occ, HM, Bounty
HM stuns, Occ marks/debuffs/heal, Arby heals/debuff/blindfire/dmg and bounty is mainly dmg+uppercut. Ideally you should use mark whenever possible but if you can kill it without marks, your guys should use a dmg skill to kill quickly instead of waiting for it. For example, if your bounty hunter can 1hko third row with Finish Him then do just that instead of wasting his turn on a mark and have someone else kill third row.

Crusader actually works best in slot 4, his Holy Lance is by far his best skill. By the time he moves himself up to slot 2, everything in the back rows should be dead. I find a leapfrog combination with him, Vestal, Highwayman, and Man-at-Arms works really well.

It work best against big enemies and bosses when you want to deal absolutely fucking nuclear damage, you're usually better off with pure standard dps for basic shit.
A BH with a mark can pretty much three shot tier-3 bosses if he crits.
>>
>>170308976
I asked about the marking party because I feel like I always play the game in a very simple, non-spectacular, but effective way. No flashy dancing compositions etc., just frontliners who kill the enemy frontliners, pos 2-3 to kill their backlines, healer on the 4th position.

Am I robbing myself of a great experience with this playstyle?
>>
>>170308767
The main draw to mark parties is that you can kill EVERYTHING without fail, albeit one at a time and it's completely adaptable to everything but stress (you can potentially switch HM to the third row and have him stress heal for one battle before putting him back in second). You have two healers, three stunners, one stress healer, two debuff, one guard and all of them can hit hard even Occultist can do decent against the eldritch. It's mainly a Warrens party that does decent in Weald but fare fine in Ruins/Cove if need be. If you're not sold, you also have decent camping skills that you never have to worry about stress/buffs/healing/ambush. It's one of the best utility parties you can assemble.
>>
>>170305248
How about a giant spider boss that changes depending on which dungeon you encounter it in? Like in the Ruins it would be all bony and spindly whereas one in the Weald would be like a tarantula or something. And to take it a step further it could have slightly different abilities, maybe like two or three shared skills and then one or two unique skills for each dungeon version.
>>
>>170309267
Yeah, it is fun to experiment.

Jester. Antiquarians are for money runs and you only need one or two then dump them when they become too much of an investment.
>>
>>170312892
oh, neither of them are really that good. I'd say just take the Jester because Slowdraw on Antiquarian is unacceptable.
>>
>>170312892
Grab auntie so you can make a bit more money until someone better comes along, that Jester doesn't have any great quirks.

But why?
>>
>>170312892
Jester, you can always get more antiquarians at the stagecoach. Plus, that one has the unyielding quirk, which, correct me if I'm wrong, mean that with the right two trinkets, he has 102% deaths door resistance.

Because the dog relieves MY stress he hits pretty good against any slot, can further stack bleed with Jester, and has a decent stun to take the fights slower and more safely leading up to the horror. But I kind of like playing more aggressively, so I'm torn.

was mostly thinking since it attacks twice, bleeds proc twice per turn, but I might go with raw damage team like you're saying instead.

He'd do fine in it, but I wouldn't switch out a stress-healer for him. Stress and bleeds are a bigger threat in that dungeon than the boss is as long as your party's half-decent, and all three stress-healers deal pretty well with shuffles.

Bleeds are definitely the better choice on the boss for the exact reason you mentioned, but dirk stab is stronger in the rest of the dungeon. It's not like you have to choose though, since you can switch skills while on a quest as long as you aren't mid-combat.

I believe anything listed as "Stress Healed" affects every stress heal such as Inspiring Tune on an ally, landing a crit and stress healing themselves, etc. I haven't tested it, but I'm fairly certain that's how it works. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
>>
>>170332603
if i remeber correct6ly i tried it and the jester stresshealed more with trambouline than with scroll.

Consistency is nice.
>>
>>170332603
follow-up, sorry for poor wording meant that it affects every stress healing related to the person holding it. For example: Jester holding a Bright Tambourine would stress heal more using Inspiring Tune (on himself and allies) as well as landing crits

Ok guys, got back to after a year to see new content and radiant.

Got into 2nd layer untill week 100, lost like 30 dudes, half of them in DD.

the further I've ever been was layer 3 of DD, right now Im near my breaking point again. Can you guys give me any tips for layer 2-3? I am getting constantly memed on and I want to just finish that game for once before I lose it again and drop it.

Oh, btw I killed a shieker. Will it come back? My tide got quickly turned during last centurion fight and I've lost my top trinkets.
>>
>>170336201
The most common strategy for the DD2 bosses is to bring a Man-at-Arms and alternate between guarding whatever hero doesn't have a torch trinket and using his riposte skill. The guard gives your fourth party member immunity to the templars' revelations unless he gets stunned, and the riposte abuses the templars' frequent actions and AoE attacks to deal a lot of damage. I like to have my Vestal be the torchless hero the Man-at-Arms guards, since it lets her double up on healing trinkets.

whats your faliure point?
Getting overstressed?
Bring a jester, start him on pos1 so he can finale 1 guy making the fight 4v3, stressheal or buff a turn, then depending on how the battle goes stay there and heal/buff, or move up for finale again(dmg debuff lasts 3 turns).
Man at arms is also prettymuch required for guarding against revelation.
I also had great success with pic related hellion as 2nd pos (moved to 1 after finale) with stun trinkets and mainly used to pretty relabily stun 2 guys at once so you can heal/stressheal on even normal enemies, and can bypass all stun resits at least once.

So a sustain party would look like:
vestal, MAA, hellion, jester.
Battle would go down:
-jester finales 3rd rank
-hellion swans 4th
-MAA stuns one of the front row, or finsihes off 3rd.
-vestal (unless woneone is on deaths door) judjments 3 (if still alive) or 4th

-jester speedbuffs
-hellion swans
-MAA stuns one guy
-Vestal if needed finsihes off 4th

after that hellion chainstuns the front 2, MAA chainguards, and brings the remaining enemies low while jester+vestal heals the party to full.

On boss, forgo pretty much all healing and burst the fuckers down. Once the templar is down you can bounce back like above.

nigga, at max lvls and trinkets ywap has a 214% stunchance
That means if the guy had 50% stunresist at the beginning, then even after 2 stuns you still have 84% chance of stunning it a 3rd time, then 44% for a 4th.
And at that point what else you gona do? Whack him for 4 dmg or godforbid bleed him instead of trying for an another free turn of raping him without any incoming bulshit like collect call in this case?
>>
>>170345093
consolidate stun trinkets to one partymember so they always stun instead of burning turns for shit damage and no stun

maybe that's just me
>>
>>170345449
Eh, after a point they can be overkill and i value utility more than specialization.

If i have marker party? sure i'll go full on dmg trinkets, but otherwise i usually decide on a character by character fashion rather than a whole team setup. The more options i have the less likely i'll get caught with my pants down and more ways to deal with things if my (slightly less optimized) main aproach fails (as it will eventually)

you should get at least 4 guys per week, 6 preferably.

Other than that its preference and playstlye.
Some doesnt keep any "permanent" heroes until they can assure their survival so its just weeks and weeks of fodder sent in without even buying them new skills. For this you dont nteed much barrack capacity.

Unfortunately I can't give you a proper answer, since I myself play in english (It's just my steam that runs in polish). As far as know the translation tries to stay accurate to game style by using a lot of archaisms. This either fits stylisation very well or sounds hilarious.

I'm not sure myself who did the translation, but I doubt it was fan project. Sorry I couldn't help much.

If it did more damage or it could hit both backrow then I would use it.

Check your gamepad controls. You might have switched it out with something.

I don't know what you were asking, but the wiki can answer a lot of questions, damp also makes a ton of good DD content and guides (especially character guides), and in general you can find out most things with a google search
>>
>>170306042

Crusader is pretty trash and Jester is outclassed by MAA/Houndmaster as a support, or by HWM/Graverobber in a shuffle party.

You CAN make them work but other heroes do the same thing better and more.

its whatever this is a mean general
>>
>>170363382
You can use jester on the first round to ohko reliably with finale. Crusader makes ruins practically easy mode plus you can rush the game with Reynauld. MAA should dedicate his rounds on protecting and damage/riposte instead of being a dedicated buffbot. Same with houndmaster but his stun is one of the best, if not most reliable so him being a support is wasted. Just because their skill are similar doesn't mean they are a better 'substitute.' Especially since houndmaster has a less reliable stressheal while jester has the best one, accompanying trinkets and it prevents the enemy from reversing it's progress by adding the decreased stress on the affected hero.

This game is seriously ruined by RNG sometimes. People just die and there's nothing you can do. Two crits, failed a death door and you're just waiting for your turn.

I don't think enemies should be able to crit. It adds some unnecessary stupidity to the game. I have 27 deaths in 130 weeks now. I'd say that around 20-22 of them have died without me having a chance to even heal them in Death Door. It just happens way too often.

Sounds like a problem with your steam settings, cause I can easily take a cap of my game. And again, you can plainly see the scouted trap tiles on your map in that picture. There's also a room that shows it's empty despite your not having been in the hallways. So either you're scouting and you don't realize it, or your game is not working as it should. It is a fact that traps are not supposed to be visible if you don't scout them and this has been stated by the developers themselves many times in the past. Now will you please quit shitposting?

If it were Stygian, you'd have seen a game over way long ago, but it's your first time here, and you presumably haven't restarted even once.

Yep! My whole party survived, albeit with two people on deaths door at the last, since naturally the 17-25 point heals were only for the mobs leading up to the boss, not while fighting the boss himself. Such is the occultist.

>>170377756
Yeah, had to have. Just looked at the wiki, crit heals are 2x, and though my occ had junia's head, even if he rolled a 20, that would be 20 * 1.30 = 26 * 2 = 52 max. And I don't think I had more than 1 arb bonus on him.

School me on champion level dungeons, /ddg/. I stomp level 1 and 3s with zero effort, but level 5s keep pushing my shit in. In one round someone can go from full health to death's door with bleed and blight on them, and get death blown without me being able to save them.

What are the best trinkets to use? Seems like stacking dodge is useless as I still get hit too much, taking any trinket that decreases your speed means the enemy can beat you to shit before you can fight back, but at the same time you have to take trinkets to improve your ACC and debuff chances?

I'm having trouble figuring this out. Let's use the warrens or ruins as an example as I consider those the easiest dungeons. What's your go-to party comp/trinkets for those?

I'm about to embark on a mission in the warrens, and I've got a leper with beast ring, sun ring, MaA with a beast ring and Ancestors Candle, Vestal with 33% heal scroll and Ancestors Map (trying to avoid as many fights as possible as this is an explore 90% mission), and Arby with beast ring and vengeful bandanna.
>>
>>170384230
Might want some stun trinkets on your Man at Arms to stop some enemies from acting so they can be more manageable.

Though there will always be times when enemies crit more than once in a row on one guy and stack DoT and they die from that without you being able to do anything.

Bounty hunter, while really fucking strong, has always seemed to me to have some redundant skills.
Collect Bounty and Finish Him are both crazy good and are his core damage skills
Flashbang can consistently stun in any row AND it shuffles.
Meanwhile, I'd generally rather flashbang the 4th row than hook it, I don't need a second stun, I don't need the shittiest mark in the game, and I sure as hell dont need an awful pull.
I tend to go with uppercut because its usually better against the frontrow than flashbang. Also it's hilarious.

Seems useless for me.
>>
>>170374250

I've never really experienced that because I literally don't run dungeons, ever, unless I have one of my ubermensch Plague Doctors with stacked speed quirks stunning the backline.

Aside from the immense utility in general it's also a guaranteed check on spiders, groupers, etc. etc.

Of course it only proves the point that you're forced into spamming certain strategies to ensure victory - sure you can succeed just fine with other strats, but the results are the same and the risk are far greater. Even with Virago and Bone Bearers being designed to counter this, it's still the best strat (and nobody goes to the Weald unless they have to anyway)
>>
>>170384831
I have max level heroes, gear, skills. Decent amount of trinkets. Sadly enough.

>have at least one dedicated stunner with stun trinkets
Houndmaster really starts to shine after level 5, that's true... maybe I should have taken a hellion to stun the first two rows.

>mark teams are way, way stronger later because marks are the only way to remove prot from big beasties
Yeah, the only teams I've had success with are mark teams, but I'm thinking more about bosses, and last time I built for a boss (necromancer lord) I got my ass handed to me by mobs leading up to it. Hrrgh.

That's what I'm afraid of. This never seems to happen to me in level 3 dungeons. That's why they're more fun.

I'm afraid I don't actually enjoy the endgame.

I've never beaten this game, I generally enjoy the first year, and then I hit this point and just shrug and start a new file.

>Adrenaline rush: I love this ability, self heal + cure and dmg buff to counteract debuffs.
>Iron Swan: Perfect fight opener for slicing the shit out of the motherfucker in the back, usually oneshots whoever he/she/it is or deals enough to allow another party member to finish him that turn
>Bleed out: This ability does stupid amounts of damage even without buffing. And it also bleeds for a decent amount. Its basically iron swan on drugs for the first rank instead of the last. The only downside is the major debuff which like I said, can be countered. A crit with this ability usually reaches the 35-45s

- Avoid every fight you feasibly can and get out of a dungeon as soon as you can. Don't even camp without ambush-prevention. Overconfidence may indeed be a slow and insidious killer, but it gets you killed really fucking fast. Extra loot is not worth losing Level 6 heroes.

- Stuns and utility moves are the most important aspect of your party. You need damage output, but it's the thing you decide last.

- Your team needs to have abusive synergy. Marking teams, stun stacking, spamming effective moves, etc.

- Similarly, your team needs to fit the area you're going to.

- Champion-level Weald is an absolute death trap and you should never go there, ever, unless you have to.

>>170385021

By itself it's fine, but in practice you will never use it because:

a) you always give other heroes stun duty, they have better skills, better trinkets, and your healer needs to be healing
b) the debuff skill is better anyway, gives you +light and removing dodge is super worthwhile.
c) Sacred Scroll nerfs the stun anyway, and there's literally 0 reason not to be running it on your Vestal if you have one.

Of course it's not the most worthless skill in the game, Occultist's stun takes that prize.

Hellion is like Houndmaster in you just unlock all her skills and then mix and match as required.

Versatile:
Wicked Hack - Breakthrough - Iron Swan - Rush
Standard set for most situations.

Utility:
YAWP - Bleed Out - If it Bleeds - Breakthrough
Stuns and then you pick the bleed skills as they suffer the least from damage reduction. Keep Breakthrough to deal with shuffles and finish off low enemies.

Pure Damage:
Bleed Out - If It Bleeds - Iron Swan - Breakthrough
Maximising her offensive potential.

She doesn't really have any bad abilities.

In the case of YAWP I like to combo it with Plague Doctor but will leave her as a pure damage dealer otherwise.

Tome of Holy Healing is a pretty good replacement. You heal practically the same amount, don't lose speed, and get to keep using your stun.

Vestal does fine in Rank 3, save the comfy spot for your Occultists/Plague Doctors/Arbalests. Your Vestal can manage at the front, your other utility heroes really can't.

Eldritch Hunter Arab sounds great but it always disappointing. If you spare a trinket slot for +Acc you're just losing some of that sweet +Eldritch damage and that's no fun.

Even Bloody Herb Doctor is more reliable and that's the biggest meme in the game.
>>
>>170386952

Typically you'll want to run both of those, no point running Junia's Head if you have both.

Also the -Speed on Sacred Scroll is actually a good thing, you want your Vestal to go last so she can heal off damage taken beforehand.

The reason the Trinket is so good is because the "downsides" are irrelevant (Same reason Legendary Bracer is a trash item most of the time, but is good on Bounty Hunter).

If, for instance, I encounter a bone general, and have a BH, HM, and PD in the party, is it better to mark with HM, use vapour buff on BH, and and start blighting later, or start blighting early on and let the BH be?

I don't want to do math.
>>
>>170388727
vapours is never worth wasting your turn on. PD is a stun slut, she is not supposed to do anything but stun. If all enemies are stunned or have too high of a stun resist, she is allowed to use blight or heal. Everything else is a waste of time.
>>
>>170387509
Scroll + Junia's is better than Scroll + Tome, though. Scroll negates half the downside Junia's gives you, and you don't get the slightly lowered healing and HP from Tome.

Well, I survived, although everyone hit 100 stress. Ugh. I only managed it because I found a secret room. If I had to do one more combat I would have been dead for sure.

Agree about the weald, who knows what trinkets to take there, there's not one dominant type. It's a shit show.

I feel like heroes that can debuff prot and dodge really come into their own at level 5/6. That's one of the reasons I like the occultist more than the vestal, though the lack of a party heal hurts.

Utility moves... I do enjoy the bounty hunter, but it seems like so many enemies these days can do their bullshit from any rank. The cultist bitch can, you have to get the tempting goblet fags into rank 1 to get them to stop throwing bloodwine in your face, the groupers/pirahnas are dangerous from any rank... I 100% agree with you on stun, but I feel like move abilities got majorly nerfed since I last played.

Now that I think about it, trinkets in DD are super boring. The most exciting trinket mechanics in the entire game are "+ or - food conusmption", "if torch is x" and "if position is x". Everything else is just buff X stat, reduce X stat. Altogether, pretty fucking lame.

Why is there no trinket that stops nighttime ambushes?
Why is there no trinket that increases loot?
Why is there no trinket that applies bleed or blight to all attacks?
Why is there no trinket that gives you two actions per turn?
Why is there no trinket that attracts or repels enemies?
Why is there no trinket that inflicts damage to the user every turn?

I just thought of these off the top of my head. Red hood has been really lazy with trinket design.

You can always adjust trinkets by giving them more than one effect, you know? Would you use the two actions trinket if it reduced your accuracy by 50 and healing by 100?

They could at least try. If something proves too difficult to balance, just remove it and move on. There is no harm in at least attempting to add something interesting to the game. They can just test it in open betas and see what happens.

Because it was never what they were going for. They obviously wanted trinkets to be boosts, but not massive ones. They wanted the dungeons to often wear the party out with damage and stress over time. Honestly if it was up to them you'd be guaranteed to come out with one guy afflicted each run.

It is suppose to be low fantasy with the party fighting off an insurmountable force.

>>170393052
I'm going to say it again since you idiots seem to not be able to understand this simple concept:

Trinkets can have more than one effect. By combining multiple positive or negative effects, you can balance trinkets out.

Is a two actions per turn trinket OP if it also has -99% health, -200 bleed and blight and deathblow resist and +100 stress? No, it would be unusable garbage. But you can adjust the values of the drawbacks, or chose different ones until you find something that might be balanced.

And you can make the nighttime ambush trinket more attractive by also giving it other minor positive effect, like reduced stress or reduced chance of being surprised.

Besides, you cannot call some of these concepts overpowered if I didn't even fucking give any exact values to the effect.

>>Why is there no trinket that applies bleed or blight to all attacks?
>because that's OP as fuck

Is 100% chance with 1 damage 3 round bleed on every attack good? No, that would be fucking trash, even with AoE attacks. Instantly calling it OP is absolutely fucking retarded.

>>Why is there no trinket that attracts or repels enemies?
>because that's OP as fuck

Same thing, if the trinket reduces or increases the chance of a battle spawning in an already explored hallway by 5%, it has no noticeable effect at all.

But you can change these values until you get something that is balanced in combination with other effects.

And lastly, money not being such a problem in DD has only been a thing since the radiant update.

Now please fucking kill yourself you retard.

I want to add that if you can't kill anyone or do any meaningful damage, then just use stun to pile damage or buy time to buff so the next turn that you will be able to kill them before they are able to retaliate. I can't count the number of times that it has saved me to drag Skiver to the front line and stun then kill Bone Bearer and kill them on the first or second turn. The new champs only become most threatening in the middle or later dragged out fight so it's absolutely necessary to disable and kill them first. It's also important to have enough speed for your guys to move first so you can do just that. Second important thing is to have maxed out skills to perform reliably so the first move counts. If you fail to stun or take them out, they could do serious damage that you is hard to reverse (stressed to heart attack or on death's door with a DoT)

Arby/musk, like leper is great if you buff them with the right trinket and quirks. My favorite musketeer would ohko the backrow in almost every given chance and if I couldn't, I would use sidearm and start the next round with finishing off or outright killing another enemy. Her other skills like AoE debuff or heal are great too since it can concentrate heal one guy back to full hp or take the burden off of your main healer by recovering your party back to minimal fighting condition. People overlook the fact that her heal gives a decent chance to heal a good extra chunk of health to survive one-two more hits.

Crossbows > Guns > Bows

You can use either one since they're identical mechanically. I prefer musketeer more because guns. There's a mega download on the OP so you can just patch your game.

>they're great especially once you get a flood of shitter they always bounce back as one of your better troops just because of their starting quirks and class for early/mid game.

I'm not sure I follow.
What starting quirks?
Are Reynauld and Dismas somehow special from other Crusaders and HWMs?

They start with quick reflexes and warrior of light which reinforces two good habits: having your heroes act faster and keeping the torch lit. Having your heroes act first will give you a good edge in your fights that would prove fatal against parties such as spider that could potentially kill a full health hero before you can act. Acting first by lowering enemy threat will keep your party alive for potentially to near the quest's end. Keeping the torch lit gives you great benefits of keeping your heroes stress low, gives a decent chance for scouting and make your enemies weaker (they gain a decent ACC, stress and health damage buff) all while you reap benefits like 10%+ damage quirk and other torch benefiting quirks/trinkets.

Crusaders/HWM are already strong at the starting dungeon (ruins) as you gather more forces and funds for your mid/late game. Crusaders are resilient to stress and do additional damage to unholy that have innate PROT that other classes will have trouble against. Highwaymen are all-rounded offensive hero that can fit in any party without synergy reliance so you will always have at least one or two heroes you can add to any party combination just in case if there's a desirable job without the right manpower. Their versatility is compatible even towards end game despite you wanting to use more specialized parties like stress managing, mark, or shuffle classes.

I just lost a fully trained and equipped abomination, a jester with both dark tambourine and ancestors candle, a grave robber with great traits, and my arbalest who i've given +20 ACC and has survived 4 boss battles.

He was literally a round away from dying of blight and bleed. It's been hours but i'm still in fucking shock. I'm going to keep playing now. Someone help

Why?

I also gave him the candle, so it offset the negative effects. I got the ACC from locking down traits and another trinket.

Look, i'm not good at video games. I've accepted that and judging by your reaction i've made a huge mistake.

My logic was that since the tambourine decreased virtue chance, by giving him the candle I could then offset that negative effect. What's wrong with my reasoning?
>>
>>170413310
Ancestor's Candle
+15% damage if torch is above 50
+2 SPD if torch is above 50
+5 DODGE if torch is above 50
+10% Stress

are you sure you're thinking about the right trinket?

Nevermind, it's the tentacle idol. I'm just retarded and switched it with the candle because it looks kind of like a candle. I'm sorry for being stupid and will promptly fuck off.
>>
>>170413806
don't sweat the error, but it's still not really a good combination. better off giving him a bright tambourine unless you're running low light team which you'd be better off going with crit trinkets (at least for the second one if you really want the dark tambourine)
>>
>>170413310
Okay, first of all, the dark tambourine is literally one of the most useless trinkets in existence. The deathblow resist is irrelevant. You NEVER EVER want to rely on that. It is always better to try and never hit death's door in the first place. And in order to achieve that, you should be using another trinket instead. Maybe damage, maybe accuracy, maybe dodge, maybe speed. But something that is always relevant.

Next, an arbalest with high accuracy quirks does not need even more accuracy with trinkets. Her main attack, sniper shot, has insane accuracy anyway. You are better off using a damage, survivability or healing trinket. Especially if you go into a dungeon without a dedicated healer. Her Medic's Greaves can help a lot.

And finally, the tentacle idol is awful as well. Instead of hoping that you will get a virtue when you hit 100 stress, it is much better to try and not reach 100 stress in the first place. You can use stress reduction trinkets like the aria box, offensive trinkets to make the fights shorter and give stress enemies less time or just bring stress reduction heroes, like the jester. Which means giving the jester a tentacle idol makes even less sense, since he is the best stress healer in the game.

>>170423206
Only if you beat him. Otherwise his spawn timer just resets.
>>
>>170392327
I don't like that you need the MaA 100% to be there, as HM's guard is just one turn and you can get destroyed by that if they only use Revelation on the trinketless character.
>>
>>170423267
i did beat him

lost a level 6 hellion in the process but at least it died i guess
>>
>>170423363
I've used HM every time I've done DD2 and have had no issues whatsoever. The Guard only ends when his turn begins, so just have him guard the whole fight. If the rest of your team is solid enough you won't even need the 4th hero.
>>
>>170423452
Feels safer to go with the MaA for extra turns. I'm still salty over losing my Arbalest in two turns, hate that fight.
>>
once my hamlet is fully upgraded is there any point even looting those shits you can upgrade with?
>>
>>170423505
I dunno what parties you take into DD2, but my party is Vestal, HM, HM, Leper and I've absolutely crushed DD2 on every difficulty I've played on. I even brought them all in with level 4 equipment and skills on Radiant mode and still got through with barely any effort.
>>170423671
Nope. Doesn't hurt to grab em if you have extra space and no loot to fill it with though, you never know what they'll do with the expansion.
>>
>>170423706
alright ill do so but ill priorize gold then since thats what i really need right now

what about the shrieker? once it stole 8 trinkets and i beat him can he do that again?
>>
>>170423706
I lost the arbalest because I missed one guard by trying to stun a templar. She got 4x50 stress revelations and it was game over.
>>
>>170424426
Yeah you can't break guard duty on that fight. That's less an issue with the HM on that dungeon and more about letting greed/desperation break your strategy,
>>
>>170424539
The wiki recommended guard or "luck" when it came to revelation. I didn't expect her to be hit four times in a row by it. Now I know better.
