Darkest Dungeon 2 is a turn-based combat title where you pit your best team of heroes you can gather against a host of different enemies. Fighting with these heroes can be easy at times or hard depending on your chosen heroes. This is because they can either be stronger against the given enemy type or weaker. Every hero is tuned to different combat situations and so the key is to have a good mix of complimenting characters in your team comp. Let’s look at how we can achieve this powerful team.

Ravager Hellion
The Hellion is a powerful high-burst damage hero who can sustain both HP and Stress very well. The Ravager path for the Hellion will give him 20% more max HP and if you keep him as Rank 1 then he will also get 25% more DMG. Hellion also has a Death Blow Resistance which will help him survive even more.
Vanguard Man-At-Arms
Man-At-Arms is a strong defense hero who is capable of self-healing and team stress healing. Having him on Rank 2 in the team lets him be able to do the ‘Hold the Line’ ability which will work great in times where you need to defend your whole team. The Vanguard path for him gives him also gives him +20% max health like the Hellion in our team.
Surgeon Plague Doctor
Our Plague doctor will be the main healer and support hero for the team. The Surgeon path for the Plague Doctor gives him +25 max health but we want this for its +33% Healing given. She also excels at doing high amounts of DOT which will pair well with our team. Having her on Rank 3 will give her access to the ‘Cause of Death’ ability which can turn all DOT damage into physical instantly.
Virtuoso Jester
The highly flexible Virtuoso Jester is perfect for Rank 4 of this team. He is a mobile hero that can change positions around the team comp. This will be yet another support character as he can remove horror from himself and his allies. The Virtuoso path for him will grant him +20% max HP and also +100% stress resistance to the whole team.
