Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Black gold is a ,,stress-DoT" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Abomination (damage trinkets) - DoT dealer
2nd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + damage trinket) - deathblow dealer
3rd: Antiquarian (Tears of the Lost + dodge trinket) - DoT dealer
4th: Occultist (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Occultist + Bounty hunter)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 3 disruptors
7) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) DoT is a menace
5) Disruption is a menace
Black gold is a stress team with great strength of DoT and pure damage. You have 3 disruptors, 3 (self)healers, 2 deathblowers and a mark synergy. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „virtue team“, „horror double finisher“, „mix damage + DoT“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Abomination (melee beast / DoT puker), it’s better to stick with „beast“ version.
My advice: Start with Abomination / Bounty hunter for disruption, then use Antiquarian for regeneration spam and lastly Occultist for dealing stress or healing.
About score: One match against novice player. He never react, after 3rd turn he surrendered. So, victory and no victory. One day I will show you this match.
About team: Actually it’s a good team. The stress strategies are much better than the others, but be careful, which character you use as first. Sometimes RNGsus can screw you, like me in 2 lost matches against darkest players with based teams (close calls) and one regular defeat against veteran player with stress team, but with bad connection. The problem with this comp is fragility and disruption. Because you don’t have any clearing abbilities, the stress will consume you. But still, not a bad team.
Rating: 3/5
