This skill doesn't reach rank 3 anymore, and therefore it's not top tier as it used to be. *Punish: his bread and butter 'auto' attack, not only does average damage but Bleeds the target with a hefty amount. Now, let's see what the different Hero Classes have to offer!! Therefore, if you are not 100% familiar with all the class abilities yet, I recommend to read this guide with the wiki next to it, so you can consult it when needed. Last thing to mention I go pretty deep explaining all the skills and their purpose, but I don't list specifically what the skill does and its numbers. Don't hesitate to let me know in comments if you find something wrong!! I apologize in advance for any in exactitude or mishap I may commit, and will try to fix anything that I find.
#DARKEST DUNGEON HEROES UPDATE#
I also have way more experience with the game pre-Color of Madness DLC, which came with an update that rebalanced most of the characters significantly. Of course, this is going to be highly subjective, and despite the high amount of hours I have in this game, surely there are some builds and compositions I have missed, so let me reiterate, don't take this Tier List too seriously! Therefore, I will order the classes from 'best' to 'worst', in terms of how many roles that class can occupy and how well it works with the rest of the classes and dungeons. That, and my own personal view, of course. That said, is indisputable some classes are more versatile than others, and that's how I am going to base this classification.
#DARKEST DUNGEON HEROES FULL#
FULL DISCLAIMER!! There is no such thing as a tier list in this game!! What it matters are not individual heroes, but team compositions!! Any hero can be good or terrible depending on which party and dungeon is it playing!! What I mean with this is, take this Tier List with a grain of salt, as is basically an excuse to analyze all the classes!! Now, since I know everyone ABSOLUTELY LOVES Tier Lists, even if it's just to criticize and rip them away, I decided to write my OWN PERSONAL ULTIMATE HERO TIER LIST!!īut before. I decided to write down my own guide after talking with several friends who started the Darkest Dungeon, and after giving them several pointers most of them told me I should write a guide. Countless hours invested in games like XCOM, Civilization and, of course, Darkest Dungeon! Hello everyone and thanks for reading! I am a hardcore gamer of Tactical Strategy games. Just in case anyone reads this in the meantime, and finds conflicting information. I am working now on fixing everything that it isn't. This may not be useful to new players but I am an old dog so let me reminisce of good ol' times OK? I also talk about those changes when discussing the skills or in general. Just take into account that this was written before the CoM patch, so something may have slipped that is not longer true.

Mostly, a few heroes got rebalanced a lot (looking at you, Flag), but the rest got only mostly minor changes, so there aren't many relevant changes afterall. So, most of the things in the guide are still true. Things changed enough to shake things a bit but no so much that the game is unrecognizable. A LOT of changes had been made to the game in the form of a balancing patch!! when the DLC dropped!!Īs of I started working on this guide again, after going back to Darkest Dungeon since CoM and completing a Bloodmoon difficulty campaign completing all objectives.
