/dadg/ - Darkest Dungeon General

I'm surprised how impactful chinese review bombing has been on this kinda stuff.

OPULENT AND IMPERIAL

I love the necro's design so much.

...

Hm, you think so? I really like the crusader for the front 2 AOE, Stun, and stress heal.

GAZING PROUDLY FROM ITS STOIC PERCH ABOVE THE MOOR

I want to get rid of one of my heroes so I can recruit a new Occultist. Should I expel my Graverobber or one of my three MAA? I'm already at 16 barracks and it seems like a waste to upgrade it more.

One of the best looking enemies in the game.

Crusader was basically MADE to fuck up the necromancer, why would you not take him?

Are all of your MAA at different levels? If not, boot the weakest or the ones with the worst quirks

I love every single one of you faggots here

Okay, I completely redownloaded the game, am using no mods, and I'm still getting this shit every time I try to load, or start a new game.

>seems like a waste to upgrade it more.
you need 4 teams of 4 unique heroes to beat the game

Not sure about pirating it besides the usual sites, some have fonts full of shit

On fonts dot com though you can test it out and save it in image form, and there's tga files of all the fonts and fnt files, so if you can figure out how to convert them you can get the fonts from there. FontForge didn't seem to work for me though

Daily reminder to always rush bank

I load a game and this shows up, press ESC, game closes.

Start a new game, as soon as the intro cinematic ends, it pops up.

cheers big ears

Lightest Tower when?

>Clean Steam dump of Musketeer

Asking again, are there any notable bugs/issues with using this?

Probably not but don't be surprised if your textures get fucked

y-you too

at a weird spot with DLC where my team is almost all 5+, and I am not done with courtyard missions. still need a countess invite, have only done 1 run there. Going to do a DD run to clear up 4 spots on the roster so I dont have to farm invites on champion

No, only issue is the Wrathful Hat not being updated, would be nice if the Musketeer user could fix it.

I'm assuming this is something that could be fixed easily by going into the trinket json file?

That's why it's good to keep a team of noobs around.

He wants to eventually hit the guy.

I thought so too, but I couldn't do it.

Any reason why? I found the lines that I believe need to be changed, but I don't have the trinkets to see if it works.

Am I supposed to use prot trinkets on MaA or health trinkets?

Also how good is ancestors bottle

16 is already four teams.

Give him a Rampart Shield and Old Unit Standard.

I changed that line to be equal to the Wrathful Bandana, but I got an error in game and I made the stupid mistake of proceeding anyway so I lost my trinket.

There's a fixed version on the workshop but it's part of a skin pack with all the other mods done by the creator

Is the Shrieker quest worth it? What's a good game plan?

Last time I faced it blind and got fucked by that BS stress middle finger at the ened. Didn't even kill the nest (didn't know that was a thing)

I'd think it is harder to heal more inflated health.

Harder to kill too.

...

>destroy three shrines
>finish in two rooms
Is there any point to continuing a quest other than loot?

It's the fastest quest to earn money if you only destroy the nest. Other than that, you get your trinkets back and occasionally get his trinkets/decent quirks. Corvid's eye and Corvid's Grace are great quirks to keep in mind.

Yea I really want to quirks AND the moolah.
Any tips and tricks?

Though you can have the same health but reduce incoming damage thus easier to top off while still being more survivable. All depends how much you use guard though since there is no reason to get too much prot due to the cap.

>waiting for stuff
nexusmods.com/darkestdungeon/mods/81/?

Get camouflage cloak or other protective trinkets. I usually go with a mark party of bh, hm, occ and arby and have them all try to destroy the nest. Bounty hunter is the main DPS with collect and finish him while the others attack the nest whenever the Shrieker isn't threatening the party or covering for each other when he gets a lucky crit/bleed in. Bring all the bandages, herbs, blood if you plan on bringing CC heroes and maybe holy water for the nasty shit he spews at you. Survive the four rounds while destroying the nest whenever you can and collect the reward. Just remind yourself that the party's survival is FIRST priority and the nest is second.

Finish the other rooms if your heroes are fine.

newfriend here. i'm in the early game (haven't beaten apprentice necro yet) and i'm having trouble managing encounters. what enemies should i try to kill first? also, are marks worth it in this stage? seems like too many actions just to deal a little more damage.

finally, when should i start thinking of upgrading gear/skills?

nice trinket haul

do invitations drop on a gather the blood mission?

Holy Railgun: 4 crusaders

Always kill stress dealer first, if you can't kill them in a single turn stun them. Try to stun/kill instead of healing the damage you took.
Marks are nice but it's better to have multiple heroes that benefit from them in a single party, one is not enough to justify using a mark imo

I honestly don't even want to reward. I'd rather just get the loot from the nest. Wouldn't Mark be useless since he gets three actions in a row?

Focus on lowering the amount of enemy actions each round. Speed is king, stun is Queen.

If your heroes have low stress, focus on damaging the big boys.

If your heroes have medium stress, focus the enemies in back since they usually build stress quickly on you.

Hero synergy is really important too, but should be focused around which part of the estate you're visiting.

You're first playthrough, if you're going in blind, is all a learning experience. Expect to lose a lot due to stress maddness.Stress gets a lot easier to manage once you figure out all the Curios triggers and which enemies prioritize stress buildup.

>Last hallway before the last room
>Camped, full health no stress
>GR /Occ/HM/Leper
>See a weird item I've never seen before
>"Put in a torch"
>Ok
>Shambler, never found one before
>Not too hard, occultist keeps him debuffed, GR doing knife throws, HM stunning the minions or putting bleeds on the shambler, leper kills the minions in one hit
>Get the shambler down to 1 HP, both minions have 2 HP but move first, put occultist at deaths door
>Occultist heals, 0
>GR misses her dagger throw, HM misses his doggo attack, leper hacking away at shambler corpse to be able to help
>Next round, GR misses her dagger throw
>Leper becomes hopeless
>Occultist is blighted and bleeding, survives both checks
>Heal.......0
>HM guards him, takes both hits
>Leper clears the shambler corpse
>GR kills one minion
>Occultist passes the blight deaths door check, dies to the bleed
>HM self heals, leper kills last minion
>Party are all at 30% health, leper is hopeless, GR and HM are both at 80+ stress
>Cheese it out of the dungeon

Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't be playing blind, but it is what it is. So long my first occultist, I shall hire a jihadi in your place.

Whats up with that? That exact thing happened to Endless Legend.

Bunch of chink fucks feeling obligated to have their language supported or some shit.

Marks are good against big enemies, or if you have an occultist with nothing better to do on your team (one of his curses marks targets). If it would otherwise take two or less hits to kill, dont bother with marks.

Fantastic against bosses and minibosses though.

>camp one room before Veteran Necromancer
>game tries to screw with me

Stop that.

I'm curious if they had to censor the game at all for the Chinese audience due to all the violence and gore. I remember hearing that other games have worked around censors in some stupidly hilarious ways.

>finally made it to Baron fight
>figure it would be easy with my team as I can down crocs real good
>start the fight, Vestal goes first due to all my SPD trinkets.
>immediatly notice that I can only use dazzling light because eggs healing spells
>oh fuck.jpg
>pop Barons egg first round, slowly watch as his 3 per turn fucks my stress bars over

This game really does punish you for overconfidence

>Almost at veteran Hag
>Get a Collector
>Transform Abomination
You came at the wrong run mother fucker.

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

yeah but I'm more interested in quirks than loot

>what enemies should i try to kill first?
Aim to disable them. You should focus on killing the weakest ones and they're normally the backliners that throw stress and DoTs at your party. Those guys are the most susceptible to being 1-2hko so plan out your round first. Every round you should try to disable as many enemies as possible while attacking them.

For example, if you're fighting against a swine party you should aim for the swine wretch because he has low HP, no prot, low bleed resist and only dodge. On your first turn, kill him first with one or two heroes. If you can't, you have to cut your losses and try stunning a enemy to prevent them from attacking you on their turn. Debuffing their speed, accuracy and damage works. If you are sure a weak hero is to take a hit, guard or buff him so he will make a comeback on the next round. Heal your heroes when they're at 50% or when you feel like they are very susceptible to hitting death's door.

DoT attacks like bleed and blight are going to carry half of your fights. That's because of the advantages they provide
>ignores PROT
>great against big enemies with prot that will take time to kill
>can finish off enemies on their turn (attack a weak enemy with a sliver of hp but they will die on their turn, this means you can focus on the others when you know their DoT will kill them on their turn)
>it doesn't leave corpses which means enemies with backliner attacks can't be used, draw enemies like Skiver, swine gladiator, courtier and arbalest closer so you can stop them from using their most powerful abilities

Your main goal in every fight is to keep your soldiers alive. Make sure the attrition is against your enemies because their goal is to whither your heroes down until they're tenderized for being their dinner.

Do you get bleed out or wicked hack on frontline hellion?

>Wouldn't Mark be useless since he gets three actions in a row?

Mark works on the nest. I just ignore him, mark the nest and smash it like a piñata.

>no yawp

Wicked Hack, If It Bleeds*, Iron Swan, last skill up to preference. I like Barbaric Yawp + PD's Blinding Gas for full enemy stun.

No.

I like running no wicked hack and bleed out + adrenaline, even without the buffs a bleed out can hit for 20 and crit for higher with bleeds on top.

>no trinkets leper
>vestal with occultist for whatever reason

wicked hack, if it bleeds, iron swan, yawp

70% of encounters you just yawp first if your other guys can handle the back line if not iron swan/bleed

adrenaline rush in high lvl cove

I thought you only needed to survive 4 rounds?

What does killing the nest do?

i accidentally on my other lepers
also four healers is fun

Always Wicked Slash, If it bleeds, Iron Swan and Adrenaline rush. Occasionally I'll switch rush for yawp since duo stunning the front lines then having her finish enemies with debuff'ed dmg is alright. Breakthrough is nice but I would rather kill one guy at a time first then weaken all three of them and eat three full powered attacks.

I feel like my hellion would waste a turn if she used a underwhelming finisher move first and then have to adrenaline rush her next turn. Her finishers/super moves should be saved if you have spare herbs to use or if you don't have a fight for the next four tiles.

All you need to do is survive four rounds, breaking his house and stealing his jewels is just salt on wound.

The leper is such a good class it should be illegal.

He's good against enemies with low or no prot. See those big pure numbers go as he smashes skeletons and chopping flesh to pieces, is a good feeling.

How the fuck does Fated work?

>He's good against enemies with low or no prot
*indimidates u*

It's a 10% chance that the miss you just missed will turn into a hit.

He is a man who gives no fucks.

I mistakenly dropped Junias head trinket what are the odds of me finding it again if I kill the shreiker?

Couldn't you pair him with someone with a mark that decreases prot? Or bleed or blight?

...

I just killed veteran Necromancer with GR+Vestal+HWM+Leper, it took me 2 turns to erase him.

Well I killed champion Necro with 3 heroes before when my fucking Hellion was nuked by 4 spiders before I could do anything about that so it's not a big deal really.

>I mistakenly dropped Junias head trinket what are the odds of me finding it again if I kill the shreiker?
Depends on how many trinkets you loss, if you have yet to recover less than 8 trinkets then chances are high.
>Couldn't you pair him with someone with a mark that decreases prot? Or bleed or blight?
With intimidate being buffed, you can pair him with classes that suffer against high prot without DoTs. I was really disappointed that he only marks himself instead of the enemy, that would make him a mark hero.

He already deals mark-skill levels of damage without one. It would be too much.

>swinetaurs btfo

Occultist isn't just a healer. He has tons of great support and decent attack capabilities. It is just that when people see a character with a big heal they automatically think they are solely a healer.
