This video shows a comp made by Grimwulf and it shows 5 win matches.
Grim reapers is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Flagellant (Gauntlet of Absolution + damage trinket) - damage dealer
2nd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
3rd: Antiquarian (Tears of the Lost + dodge trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Houndmaster (dodge trinket + damage trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Bounty hunter + Houndmaster)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 2 guardians
CONS:
1) Disruption is a menace
2) DoT is a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) Marks are a menace
5) Stuns are a menace
Grim reapers is a nice damage team with great strength of stress and DoT. You have a powerful mark synergy, 3 (self)healers and 2 guardians. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „double finisher“, „mark team“, „mix damage + DoT“ and „original setup“. I didn’t tried the „full stress“ setup, because you already can make big amount of stress with all strategies.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption, next use Flagellant for applying DoT, then Antiquarian for regeneration and lastly Houndmaster for dealing damage.
Before I started this showcases, I already tested this team with one of Discord members and it was good for playing. Now I got a chance to prove the team’s strenght with different strategies. And, it’s something. You can make a great pressure for opponent, because of DoTs and the mark synergy. Plus if you spam Antiquarian’s „Rejuvenation vapours“, you don’t need to be worry about healing. The team‘s downside, they can be disrupted very easily. Sadly I lost once against darkest player with an odd DoT team. What’s really shame, I didn’t manage to make a match, where all team members would survive. Anyway, this team is really good, I recommend it!
For another tips and how play this team better, ask Grimwulf (on Discord).

![Darkest Dungeon - Butchers Circus - Better safe than sorry showcase
#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife
Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Better safe than sorry is a ,,damage-stress team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Man at arms (Spiked shield + accuracy trinket) - guardian
3rd: Occultist (stress trinket + dodge trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Vestal (stun trinket + accuracy trinket) - healer
PROS:
1) Good damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great healing potential
4) 2 disruptors
5) 2 stunners
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Marks are a menace
3) Stuns are a menace
4) Disruption is a menace
5) DoT is a menace
Better safe than sorry is an odd damage team with great strenght of stress and very little bit of DoT. You have 3 healers, 2 disruptors and 2 stunners. That’s it, no other advantages. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „the finishers“, „mix damage + DoT“, „support Crusader“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser), both are equally good and bad at the same time.
My advice: Start with one of your stunners (Crusader / Vestal), next use Occultist for disruption. Now for Man at arms, if you have him as damager, open the riposte, if he’s a stresser, buff the team or guard someone.
I was kinda curious, how should be played this team, because… well, if you look closely, you can see many… so many disadvantages. First things first, YOU CANNOT MAKE A PRESSURE. With 2 stunners and 2 great stressers you don’t have much power to beat harder opponents. I lost 5x - once against darkest player with stress team (close call), quite a nice match. Next I lost against an apprentice player with lame based team [Heylow comp], 2x against veteran players with stress team (one of him was in rematch) and lastly against a novice player with stress team.
The team is so bad, you can only hope to get some low-ranked player, because none of the strategies works perfectly. Sure I got only these players, that’s a minus for the score, but it cannot be better played. Yes, you have a little chance to win the match against harder opponents, but if you don’t wanna waste your time and patience, pick some different team. I don’t recommend this trash.
