Darkest Dungeon Guide
Advanced Gameplay
There are Four rarities of items:
-
Common (White)
-
Uncommon (Green)
-
Rare (Blue)
-
Ancestral (Red)
There are many different items, from what i know 1 Class item per rarity. Ancestral items are the best, and they are very powerfull, mix and match them to get the best stats for your Hero.
Best in slots for most classes:
-
Legendary Bracer + Focus Ring Combo
-
Total Stat Change:
-
+20 DMG +8% CRT +6 ACC
-
-12% Move Resist -12 DODGE
-
-
-
2x Legendary Bracer:
-
Total Stat Change:
-
+40% DMG +10% CRT
-
-12 ACC
-
-
-
2x Martyr's Seal
-
(FIXED Deathblow resist max is now 87% it seems to have been changed. This build no longer works as an immortal build.)
-
Total Stat Change:
-
(At Deaths Door) +30% DMG
-
(At Deaths Door) +10% CRT
-
+30% Death Blow Resist
-
-32% MAX HP
-
-12 DODGE
-
(NOTE) with a Heros passive death blow resist at 67%+30%=97% Death Blow Resist. Not safe enough? I dont think so, roll the Quirk Unyielding (+10% Death blow resist) and you are immortal with op stats.
-
-
Of these 3 "Legend Hero combos" The best one to start with would be the 2x Seal. It give you an invincible front liner so you can worry about the rest of your partys health.
(I will update more beginner combos later.)
Dont forget to check out my Videos and screenshots for a great way to farm items Quirks and relieve Stress!
Heros Pros and cons
So you have probally played every class by now, so if you have not, go give them a go, they all are strong in their own way as i will explain. With some i feel being a little more OP then others. So lets begin with the Hellion :3
Legend Hellion:
-
Pros:
-
The most notable, and OP thing about Hellion is not their ability to bleed, attack the Front 3 Monsters from any position or their nice CRIT MOD but its their camping skills that you have to take advantage of.
-
Breakthru 5:
-
Melee ALL (1-4) Hits Front (1-3)
-
DMG MOD -55%

Wicked Hack 5:

Uses 2x Legend Bracer combo with ease with Adrenaline Rush, or if you dont like buffing (since they dont last like camp buffs do) You can bring a Vestal along to give you +10 ACC which pretty much cancels out the Bracers -12 ACC
-
Hellion Ancestral:
-
Hell's Hairpin
-
+15% DMG
-
+5% CRT
