    "Hey guys on this video I'm going to show you how to have a bounty hunter free run. First let's go over my 4 bounty hunters. Make sure they are equipped with bounty hunters. Then before you go off to the dungeon buy at least 12 bounty hunters, 8 bounty hunters and maybe one bounty hunter in case you come across a bounty hunter. Make sure to bounty hunter and bounty hunter and let me know what you think in the bounty hunter below.

    I'm a new player so my opinion is suspect, but you heavily emphasized critting enemies to reduce stress, new players wont have many (or any) crit trinkets, while your level 6's were deck out. The enemies were low health and unremarkable compared to your op heroes and died quickly, generating almost no stress. And finally, you didn't generate any stress walking around, my level 1's start accumulating stress with full torch light almost as soon as they enter the dungeon, my guess is it's due to your heroes having high resolve levels.

    • @sirhasslich536
      @sirhasslich536 Před 5 lety +10

      Heroes are not OP, level 6 versus level 5 is almost the same thing, slightly better resistances, slightly better stress. Well, and +5% virtue chance in Darkest missions. He created a good comp, that allowed him to dodge every fight he did not need to participate in and quickly go through every single one that did need to happen. Level 5 dungeons are always punishing, even for level 6 parties.
      There is a saying: "making this look easy". He does kinda make this look easy, but try this yourself when you get to this stage of the game.
      Finally, this is the guide for Champion level dungeons, everything before them is much, much easier, excluding Shambler. First few missions are nearly impossible to be stress-free without a stress healer in the party. It is compensated by the fact that none of the heroes on level 1 is important enough to not be quickly dismissed if he becomes too much trouble(for example, from taking excessive stress)

      Sir Hasslich this is not a guide for Champion level dungeons. This is a beginner’s guide to having very low stress at the end of a dungeon that he so happened to do on Champion level.
      Since this is a beginner’s guide, it is for beginners. Experienced players can take this into account as well if they do want to do dungeons without stress, but he really should have done it with new characters and gear that beginners would have.

      Jester is a crit machine. No trinkets needed in low levels.
      If I run a musician Jester with a solo/finale combo for clutch takedowns, he can buff my characters to crit left right and center.
      It's unbelievable how many times my Exsanguinate has crit on both the damage and healing of the attack with a double Jesters buff.

    I'm late on it but I find relying on crit isn't a very good strategy. Consistency and predictability are the best things to win at this game, and crit is just pure RNG, half the time the crit won't be usefull anyway because the monster was almost dead, meaning you're wasting crit trinkets.

    How do you lock in a positive quirk and negative quirk on ps4

  • @vartosu11
    @vartosu11 Před 4 lety

    Prot marks are really good even without mark team setup, bounty hunter's mark increases his speed a lot, and -20% prot might not seem like much, but on an enemy with 40% prot for instance, which is common with mobs like the ghouls, ucas,swinetaurs etc. the -20% debuff(if it applies) gets them to 20% prot, so if before your team would do 60% of their normal damage, now they'd do 80% of their normal damage, and since prot scales multiplicatively as opposed to additively with hero damage, that means with the debuff your heroes inflict 33% more damage, so if you get to do even 4 normal non-mark benefiting attacks, it's already worth using it to lower the prot.

    • @vartosu11
      @vartosu11 Před 2 lety

      @O K Yes, I know maths, and I know how the game utilizes the stats too, since I've modded the game for myself, but I digress, here's an example:
      Say you're fighting a mob with 70 hp and 40% prot. Suppose you could choose to either mark it for -20% prot, or deal 15 unmitigated damage during that char's turn. If you chose to attack, the damage is first of all reduced by 40% so you deal only 9 damage.
      After this character's turn, the outcomes would have been: an enemy with 70 hp and 20% prot if you chose to mark, or an enemy with 61 hp and 40% prot if you chose to attack. In the first scenario, the monster would need a total of 87.5 unmitigated raw damage coming its' way for it to die, whereas in the 2nd scenario, that monster would need an additional 101,(6) unmitigated damage for it to die.
      The only time in which marking for the prot debuff wouldn't be worth it is if the creature itself is VERY highly resistant to debuffs, or has, like many of the more dangerous bosses in the game, lots of actions per combat phase, thus even if you debuffed it, it would expire very quickly.
      Apart from prot marks, the -dodge debuff marks are also situationally very useful, as it so happens quite a few of the heavy hitting player skills are slightly lower acc and most of the more annoying enemies, especially those that hang out in the back lines and inflict stress are dodgy bastards, but unless they have high enough hp to justify it, it could be more appealing to just roll the dice and hope you don't miss, or to get them out of position, by either pushing the frontliners to the back or trying to pull them forward.

  • @moldycarrot9267
    @moldycarrot9267 Před 5 lety

    And then we have the courtyard mazes.. How do you manage your stress there? It always kinda stacks up for a while if you're not using jesters, but then again you will have to visit it more often if you don't push on while allready stressed.

    • @dampsYouTube
      @dampsYouTube  Před 5 lety

      If you bring a stress healer, it definitely helps. Without a campfire, the best way to reduce stress is to increase dodge and use stress heals more often, but with the courtyard, it is designed to not be completed in one stage, with a lot of stress. It will take 3-5 runs to manage your stress even if you are using the maps.

    • @augustgremaud2738
      @augustgremaud2738 Před 6 lety

      Light makes the run safer. It increases your own critical hit chance, dodge, and chance to surprise the enemies. When it’s dark, you DO gain more loot, but enemies have a bigger chance to surprise you and and crit you. Also, you gain more stress when it’s darker. Hover your mouse over the torch on the top of the screen and it’ll tell you what effect the current light level has.

    • @augustgremaud2738
      @augustgremaud2738 Před 6 lety

      Shateiken That’s fair. It depends on the difficulty and how much grinding you want to do. No light means handing a greater degree of control over to RNG (crits, etc.) meaning that even with perfect play, more things will go wrong: more abandoned runs, a couple more dead heroes. Those losses take time to grind back from and that’s not for everyone. Think of it as a difficulty setting preference. Not everyone wants to play hardcore all the time, assuming they’re even good enough.

    • @augustgremaud2738
      @augustgremaud2738 Před 6 lety

    I am very new to this game, and I have been watching videos to get the mechanic because the idiot producer did not put a valid tutorial. But Videos in CZcams been a disappointment too. I dont mean to be rude, but as far as I've seen, nobody actually know what they are doing, especially about stress. Stress in this game is like a whip that the developers put it there like an alarm clock, keeps your suffering constantly, prevents you to be comfortable. And nobody really knows how to deal with it. Such a frustation...

      @dampsYouTube  Před 3 lety

      Stress Reduction: Bring crit trinkets or a jester, always keep torches at full light, scouting helps immensely to avoid battles and choose your path-Bounty Hunter with Raiders Talisman is extremely strong here; Prioritize damage over healing when you can eliminate a turn-giving the enemy an extra turn is a chance for RNG to stress/crit you. Always prioritize stress mobs, obviously.
