Darkest Dungeon - Butcher's Circus - Monster within showcase

#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife

Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.

Monster within is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:

1st: Hellion (dodge trinket + accuracy trinket) - damage dealer
2nd: Abomination (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Houndmaster (dodge trinket + accuracy trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Occultist (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer

PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Occultist + Houndmaster)
2) Great stress outcome
3) Great DoT outcome
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 potential disruptors
6) 2 potential deathblowers
7) 2 potential stunners

CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stress is a menace
3) Stuns are a menace
4) RNGsus is a menace

Monster within is a nice stress team, that applies pure damage and also DoT. All characters can (self)heal, next you have 2 disruptors, 2 stunners and 2 deathblowers (if you count Occultist's "Sacrificial stab"). Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.

I tried to play a few strategies, such as "full stress", "full DoT", "mark team", "mix damage + stress" and also "full damage". The "mark team" isn't that great at all.

My advice: Start with Abomination for opening the riposte, next use Hellion for debuffing the frontline, then Occultist for making the disruption and lastly Houndmaster for applying stress and DoT.

Firstly, I struggle hard with this comp. Against darkest "WD/Kalashnikov/Shep's stress #35825" you don't have much chances, but after few matches, it went well. Even with this, I was enjoying the fights, but I think, for this team something's missing. It need some upgrade. Anyway, not good, not bad team.

Rating: 3/5
