“Shady Dealings”: Bounty Hunter, Highwayman, Grave Robber, Arbalest. This is the “Holy Party”, with 3 heroes being of Faith-based persuasions, and the Man-At-Arms being the “shield” to the Crusade “hammer”. She is the best healer in the game, can affect the torch light level, and can stun with magic or melee, while the Flagellant (another DLC character) gets better as he takes more damage and stress. I will say it until I see evidence against it: take a Vestal in your group, as often as possible. “Dawnbreakers”: Crusader, Flagellant, Man-At-Arms, Vestal. The Abomination can cause Bleed with his attacks, while taking some significant Physical damage the Leper, if he doesn’t swing and miss, also can dish out some serious damage the Jester can buff the party/attack and the Antiquarian… can collect gold? These are heroes that might fit in with a Circus theme, albeit a macabre one. This was just me, trying to find 4 heroes that would fit a particular theme, and it surprisingly worked (in the Weald, with Level 0 and 1 characters). “Dark Carnival” (tested): Abomination, Leper, Jester, Antiquarian. This frees up the Leper and Hellion from the 4th spot, where they aren’t nearly as effective.

If the Leper has a trinket that improves his ACC (Accuracy), then look out! The Shield-breaker fits in because she can fight from all 4 positions, with abilities that bounce her around each spot. This group has the potential to mow through nearly any low-to-mid level group. “Heavy Handed” (concept) : listed from the 1st position, this party consists of the Man-At-Arms, Leper, Hellion and Crusader, although the Shield-breaker would be an excellent alternative for the Crusader. If my names are the same as theirs, it was not intentional.Įdit: just before publishing, I found a page that lists all of the names that Darkest Dungeon has for parties while I duplicated a couple of parties, I didn’t use any of their names.

Speaking of names, Darkest Dungeon will occasionally name your party, depending on the people in it. The following are some parties that may work well for you (“tested”) some other parties are some fun combinations, with fun names, that might actually work in dungeon settings (“fantasy”). Your job is to gather a 4-man party that will minimize these damages as much as possible. In the midst of re-playing Darkest Dungeon, I’ve found a few hero combinations that I really like and some combos that might be interesting to play, plus I’ve come up with a listing of the lest favorite to the most favorite heroes to play.
