Darkest Dungeon - Butcher's Circus - The Hunting Hounds of Hell showcase
3#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife
Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
The Hunting Hounds of Hell is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Hellion (damage trinket + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
2nd: Man at arms (Protector’s Kite + stun resist trinket) - guardian
3rd: Houndmaster (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Vestal (stun trinket + accuracy trinket) - healer
PROS:
1) Great stress output
2) Great DoT output
3) Great healing potential
4) 2 stunners
5) 2 guardians
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Disruption is a menace
4) Stress is a menace
The Hunting Hounds of Hell is a damage team, that combines also stress and DoT. You have 3 (self)healers, 2 stunners and 2 guardians. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „the finishers“, „the guardians“, „mix damage + DoT“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Hellion (damager / stresser) and Man at arms (damager / stresser), better to stick with damage variantion.
My advice: Start with Man at arms for opening the riposte, next use Houndmaster for guarding someone, then Hellion for applying DoT and lastly Vestal for stunning someone.
It's a similiar to previous showcase, but with Hellion instead of Abomination and… it’s much worse. How much? You can’t disrupt the opponent’s team, the 3rd stunner is missing and making the pressure is very slow. And top of that, Hellion is not accurate as Abomination. So you have already many disadvantages, you almost have no chance to beat harder opponents. Yes, I played against novices only (because they simply showed in queue), and some of them made me hard time. What’s (ironically) funny, I played 2x against novice players and in both cases on my winning side there was a tactical desync. Now that funny part - instead of preserving rank progress, I dropped in lower tier. Why? I don’t know.
The team lacks of advantages, not accurate frontline and stress tactics aren’t good. Probably the best option is „the guardians“ strategy. In this situation, I cannot give them high rate, even the mid. This was just bad.
Rating: 2/5
