Darkest Dungeon - Butcher's Circus - The Bait and Switch showcase
7#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife
Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
The Bait and Switch is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Crusader (healing trinkets) - healer
3rd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
4th: Grave robber (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Bounty hunter + Highwayman / Grave robber)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) 2 disruptors
6) 3 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) DoT is a menace
5) Disruption is a menace
6) Low healing potential
The Bait and Switch is a damage team, that combines also stress and DoT. You have 3 deathblowers, 2 disruptors and very good mark synergy, on the other hand only 1 healer. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „double finisher“, „full stress“, „mark team“ and „mix damage + stress“. I tried both variantions of Grave robber (pure damage / DoT stresser) and Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), for both these variantions are actually good. The „double finisher“ strategy contains also „support Crusader“.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption, next use Highwayman for dealing massive damage, then Grave robber for dealing damage / applying DoT and lastly Crusader for stunning someone OR healing.
Now this team… You can make some pressure for opponent with a good mark synergy or via deathblowers, but you are also fragile, specifically your Crusader will be targeted as first. You must defend him at all costs! If you lose him, you lose the match. I was defeated 2x, once against champion player with lame based team, and once against darkest player with lame „Flagellant-Crusader“ duo. Still, you can beat even harder opponents. Playing this was kinda… mid. Nothing bad, but nothing special.
Rating: 3/5
