The player's party is limited to four Heroes. The Bounty Hunter is also an available hero, but is only hirable via The Inn for one Region, at the cost of Candles of Hope.Īt the beginning of each run, the player chooses four of their unlocked heroes to begin the run with at The Crossroads. Darkest Dungeon II currently has 11 controllable heroes, but more are planned for future updates. Each class also has unique barks as a reaction to many situations. Each character has different skills and can fill different roles in combat. They are divided into several classes, specializations that define their appearance and abilities.

During camp, the Houndmaster can prevent ambushes with “Hound’s Watch” and Grave Robber can cure diseases (which are prevalent in the Warrens) with “Snuff Box”.Heroes, or Adventurers, in Darkest Dungeon II are characters used by the player when assembling their party for the journey to The Mountain. “Adrenaline Rush” can also be used to remove blight and buff Hellion’s offense. Hellion is very flexible in this comp and can help focus the backline with “Iron Swan”, stack more bleeding with “If It Bleeds” or handle the frontline with “Wicked Hack”.

If needed, he can also use “Guard Dog” to protect one of his companions. The Houndmaster is very valuable in the Warrens as he does extra damage to beasts and is very good at making enemies bleed. Vestal will focus on healing and Grave Robber on killing “Swine Wretch" with "Thrown Dagger". Vestal – Grave Robber – Houndmaster – Hellion

During camp, Occultists can prevent ambushes with “Unspeakable Commune”, and Jesters can lower stress with “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”. If transforming is not a good option for certain fights, Abomination can use “Beast Bile” since blight works well in the Cove. The Jester’s main job is to reduce the stress caused by the transformation. The Abomination will do most of the damage by transforming and using “Rake” and “Rage”. The Man-at-arms and the Occultist will work similarly to the best party composition for the Weald.
