You have two Highwaymen up front, you give them the Combat Skills: Wicked Slice, Pistol Shot, Point Blank Shot and Grapeshot Blast. Trinket wise you hope for speed/health. For the third slot, I've been going with a going with a Grave Robber CS: Pick to the Face, Flashing Daggers, Shadow Fade and Thrown Dagger. And right at the back is a plague doctor with CS: Noxious Blast, Plague Grenade, Blinding Gas, Battlefield Medicine. Basic concept is high speed, use pointblank shots to kill anyone upfront or blanket them with grapeshot flashing daggers ect, stun them with blinding gas heal away negative stats. It's done me pretty well. Got some pretty good loot from this one (Or atleast I think so) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yI6Hkxb.jpg) | ||

Thoughts on classes so far: - Hellion: My choice tank. Great damage, and the ability to stun 2 guys at once is really awesome, and unlike the other melee classes, isn't 100% useless if you get surprised and end up in the back due to breakthrough. - Leper: The huge damage/low accuracy is funny but not very good in my experience. Extremely tough to kill, but can't really rely on him to get anything done, especially since he can't do ANYTHING in position 3/4!! At least the other two tank-type classes can conditionally contribute to the battle. - Crusader: My 2nd choice for a tank. I probably just ended up with Hellion because that's the one that ended up leveling up faster, but with a team that repositions itself, I think I would actually prefer crusader. Solid class with the ability to reposition itself up to the front (provided enemies are there) with holy lance. Being able to heal is always good, too. - Bounty Hunter: Uppercut is pretty nice, but I think he's just outshined by Highwayman and Grave Robber when you want to DPS (since they can do it at a range and he has to first mark, THEN attack). Being able to stun anyone is nice, though. I like him on position 2, and he's a backup tank when my usual tanks are stressed and recovering. - Highwayman: Best class. DPSes like crazy, whether you want AoE or targeted. Repositions himself if he's too far back, or if he's stuck on the front lines and you don't want him there. Fuck this guy is OP. I made 3 and unfortunately lost one when I was level 4, but man these guys just rip through things. On Medium/Long missions, having the self buff from camping makes any boss ezpz. - Grave Robber: I like her a lot because she can get shuffle herself around with lunge/shadow fade. I want trinkets that give + crit - accuracy because throw dagger is great, giving yourself +accuracy. - Vestal: I'm a chicken so I use her as a staple position 4 on every team I use. Healing everyone on the team is OP. She also can stun, which is a bonus. I put +speed trinkets on her. - Plague Doctor: I tried to like him, I really did. But, I think having one of the DPS classes is almost always better. Adding status effects <<<<< just killing the guy. His heals are meh, since I don't think getting rid of status effects really matters that much because if you just heal via Vestal, you pretty much accomplish the same thing. - Occultist. I tried him out once and hated him and threw him away. Maybe he's good, but I prefer having dedicated roles. Unpredictable heal is not cool. - Jester: Not sure. I have a level 2 one on my backup team when my main characters are out of commission, but he just feels flimsy. I think he can be very cool though since he can proc Bleed in an AoE, and has a forward 3!!!! move. Maybe with + dodge trinkets he can be a thing. Stress heal as a support could be okay, but I'd rather just get stress heal from critting from Highwayman/Grave Robber or something. My current main team is Vestal/Highwayman/Hellion/Highwayman. Highwayman on 3 has AoE instead of point blank shot for more AoE. I'm trying to train up my other classes, and would like to end up with something like Vestal/GraveRobber/Crusader/Highwayman. I also tried Vestal/Grave Robber/Leper/Crusader, which I think is hilarious. The front literally never dies, and you're never stressed because of crits and protection self-buffs. As for town management, I tried pumping up Sanitorium and Chapel up so my guys are always ready to go. Again, I'm a chicken so I try to leave 1k-2k for supplies going into a dungeon. I'm sure it's inefficient that way, but I hate losing guys. | ||

Right now my three teams are: Vestal, Highway Man, Crusader, Crusader Vestal, Grave Robber, Bounty Hunter, Leper Occultist, Occultist, Hellion, Hellion And I have level 6 Jester (subs in for Grave Robber or Highway Man) and Plague Doctor (sometimes goes in Occultist group) Of all the characters though I think the Crusader is my favorite (Holy Lance is too good) and Bounty Hunter my second favorite. | ||

My highest level team is usually Vestal, Highway man, Leper, Crusader (My highest hellion died, now leveling a new one). My Leper actually has good accuracy so the hes more feast than famine (plus he can buff his accuracy). Besides mine has like 90 hp so he is a rock solid tank who can hit 2 of the front enemies (good combo with Highwayman grapeshot and the Crusader 2 front attack, it just melts shit). Almost maxed my second team of Vestal, Plague Doc, Hellion, Crusader. Also working on my low level Jester and Occultist just so I can completely lvl every class (thats I have left to do in the game). | ||

I think the worst part of the game is that the boss fights are the same at each of the three levels its just more hps and more damage output. Some variety would have been good. | ||

Hag could throw 2 people in the stew, Necro could have a big AE explosion if he has 3 skeletons and wants to summon another one, I don't know about the swine. | ||

Just leveling up my two guys I somehow had die and then I'll be shelving the game until they release the other dungeons or add more content. Every building maxed, 130k gold, and over 200 of each heirloom item. I think the worst part of the game is that the boss fights are the same at each of the three levels its just more hps and more damage output. Some variety would have been good. I am sure they can add that. I think they are just using them as place holders too see how the game works at higher levels. | ||

I hope so because as of right now any boss seems pretty easy if you have any 3 of Crusader, Hellion, or Bounty Hunter (man I love that guy...full damage to any slot from any slot)... Game is a blast though...especially for $20. There are games I spent $40 to $60 on that I got way less play time out of than I already got out of this. (thanks to a back injury) | ||

Leper is awesome, especially with repositioners (mostly grave robber) so he can get on the front line quickly. And... his AoE ability + grapeshot -> things blow up. I don't really like the +acc self buff, since I'd rather be quickly taking out enemies asap. It's good for bosses, but that's pretty much it .I put an +acc trinket on him instead. I think Bounty Hunter is alright - kinda like a jack of all trades, master of none. I'm running Collect Bounty/Mark Target/Uppercut/Stun Grenade. Stun grenade both stunning/shuffling enemies makes many fights trivial, which is awesome. When you factor in that you can do it on ANYONE from nearly anywhere, it's pretty bonkers. Mark Target/Collect Bounty-> is pretty good, but honestly I feel the classes with better damage (Hellion/Grave Robber/Highwayman) outshine him by a lot and make him assigned to stun-duty. I must be doing something wrong with Crusaders, too. I've had about 4 die on me now, all pre-level 4. Annoying  | ||

I'm trying to make a self sustaining group... but it doesn't seem practical given the auto stress incurred over long fights.. | ||
