Shuff your rng needs to be studied, how do you somehow get some of the easiest early game abnos while also getting the most annoying ones that typically force a reset

Enemy: With one blow i bleed blind and stun you with no coldown and also take one combo mark for my monster partner to fk you even more AND i get armor and crit, Heroes: has 37 Prerequisites to Heal 10 (maybe), 3 turns Coldown

Ah the clowns, considered to be the simplest ordeal to manage until you forget to deal with one that releases the abno that annihilates the facility

+1 candle for killing death 😆

Damn, if ever there was a team that could use the General's immobility trophy. At least Helion has been slowly getting some buffs.

In the case of ignoring a curio for when backtracking: Encountering an active curio twice gives twice the chance for your heroes with curiosity quirks (curious, kleptomania etc) from touching them and wasting it or even hurting themselves or stealing your loot (REYNAULD!!!) I never ever leave curio for later anymore ever since my leper ruined what was to be the easiest shambler fight of my life by going 'i wonder what this does' on the altar

My flag always die

EZ for Runaway Kappa

Hope they bring back also the DD1 system when they walk on foot to traverse the dungeon. 😊

I bought the game shit insanely cool 😎 👌

I just started playing again, first time playing commando. Any tips?

My hot take is that I don't like the meta progression in DD2. In DD1 by week 3 once the guild is unlocked all the skills are available to me. Whereas in DD2 it's going to take me multiple runs and hours to unlock the all the skills for a party of 4. I get why they had to do that for a roguelike and its more bite sized for players newer to the franchise but man I just want to unga bunga and get to the combat at my full potential. As others mentioned I wish BR would scale down the hp so that fights would end 2-3 turns faster. 1 BR expedition roughly 60-90mins. A DD1 campaign takes me ~60hrs to complete. A BR playthrough took me 118hrs to finish and thats with setting the game to debug mode to run at x4 speed. I think the difficulty curve as it stands will make it inaccessible to most players. For DD1 I think Vestal is overrated and actually slows your team down from the main objective of killing the enemies but new or less experienced players fall into the trap of thinking they're lacking healing when in fact they're lacking damage or control and thats what is making the game difficult. I won't try to explain why or give examples.

Hey shuffle have question,are kills cumulative in the first two farmstead missions I keep losing my party on the second one.😢

Wait, you can PAUSE THE GAME??? holy hell no wonder i've been having so much trouble

The clowns will do that to you, yeah. Vicious little bastards

So-Called PM Fans when they play their own games

I will say for trying out class combos, if you want to stack massive DOTs on bosses, Plague Doctor and Flagellant are essential for 5 Blight and 5 Bleed a turn when fully upgraded. Next turn that stacks to 10 Blight and 10 Bleed, so on. I'm doing the 1 of every hero challenge on Radiant, each named the canon name on the Wiki. I may or may not have nearly gotten a party wipe to Shambler coz I got extremely cocky and had just finished a rest. Somehow the Flagellant survived on Death's Door.

I watched my friend who knows nothing about the game on the first playthrough he did. Crimson dawn went as good as portrayed here haha

I've been saying this but man the boss sucks in this game. Not only most bosses are gimmick, so you are almost destined to die without searching guide or firsthand experience, but the boss is just so unfun to deal with even after knowing the gimmick. AOE after AOE, unavoidable stress attack, like no offense but I genuinely do not understand any person with sane mind would make this and be like "oh yeah this is fun".

This was a great video. I agree with pretty much everything except giving GR a self-heal when she’s a rogue. Tox trickery makes no sense. Maybe let it be used on others & herself like PD, but still, it doesn’t really fit GR’s kit or role as a damage-dealer. I also agree with the comments about the Champion Warrens enemies. I play on BM & the other day I’d just done 2 of the other area champion bosses, then I went into a Warrens quest & some encounters were harder than the bosses. They give diseases that hurt your accuracy, then they stun your backline healer, &🩸everyone 😂 I’d give Vestal another bonk trinket bc profane scroll can be quite difficult to get. I might also either lower the frequency of diseases, or make them less severe at low levels, or cheaper/ easier to heal in some way. Bc if you’re playing BM. money is tight in the beginning & I’ve had to just dismiss heroes who get diseases. Ironically diseases are less of a problem at higher levels bc u have better accuracy trinkets & more heroes with all their camp skills who can heal disease

Leper being the protagonist after the academic and ancestor would be a wet dream come true

Arbalest is one of those character that would benefit from the darkest dungeons 2 class adds/reworks

I have lost at least one companion every time I have fought the Fanatic

So these punks, I don’t know if I wanted their money, or something more sexual. But it’s a good thing I had my pieces, my guns. So anyway, I started blasting.

Nice review, short and precise. gonna check this one out

That moment when his negative relationship rolled purge and illum! Omfg lol

Beacon has a very weird difficulty curve, starting tough, then getting progressively easier with a huge difficulty spike at the end.

I prob should’ve specified that I always play BM & my comment about CC was mainly about it feeling like a slog not being impossible. The CC enemies are overtuned when they appear in other zones (esp the Cove where you may have Blight heroes), eg, when you’ve gotta farm Baron invites. I’ve beat the game on BM a few times but I’ve also restarted a file as a result of a Cove wipe when the invite bearer did illusive exit. 😂 I do love DD1 & esp Farmstead, I just wish I enjoyed CC as much as the rest of you. I think it does serve the purpose of “filling up” that slow part of the game from level 3-5. I guess my other hot take would be shield breakers. I find them way too weak to play on BM in the beginning so I don’t start recruiting them til around Week 30 where I can get an experienced one. At Champion they’re great ofc. I wish I’d found DD2 to have as addictive of a gameplay loop but I’m not sure why I just didn’t stick to it. I may go back & give it another day

I don't challenge champion level shambler. Always fight him at green level, yellow level sometimes. Red level never

I don't know how to play Darkest Dungeon 2 properly, I always have grave robber/highwayman in any formation, can't form a team without them

I love how theres a move thats just GET THAT MOTHAFUCKA

I really like DD2, but I think the current design of character paths is really poor. For example, Runaway and Duelist, each of these two character paths is really difficult to use. With the current high-intensity combat mechanism, players can hardly choose other constructions. As a result, there are so many changing skills, but almost no one can use them. No other changes are possible. (Maybe you can build regardless of strength, but you basically can't win in the end.) This is my experience after playing for 300 hours. I really hope the official can make changes...

Yessss warhammer mechanics my beloved

As I said in the community post, Shuff went from fighting the cultists, to appeasing the cultists, and becoming one.
