Showcase one of basic teams in Butcher's Circus. This video shows 5 win matches.
Hellino is a ,,stress-DoT" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Flagellant (Gauntlet of Absolution + damage trinket) - DoT dealer
2nd: Houndmaster (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - DoT dealer
3rd: Antiquarian (Tears of the Lost + dodge trinket) - DoT dealer
4th: Hellion (accuracy trinket + damage trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 guardians
CONS:
1) DoT is a menace
2) Stress is a menace
3) Marks are a menace
4) Stuns are a menace
Hellino is a stress team with great strength of DoT and little bit of pure damage. All characters can (self)heal, next you have 2 guardians and many ways for applying DoT and stress. Unfortunately this team is vulnerable against every possible team, no matter on player’s rank.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „double finisher“, „full DoT“, „the finishers“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Hellion (damager / stresser), don’t waste time on stress variantion, it’s obviously useless here.
My advice: Start with Antiquarian for regeneration spam, next use Flagellant for applying DoT, then Houndmaster for guarding someone OR applying DoT too. Lastly Hellion for dealing some damage.
Before I started this set, I already knew, it would be hard to play them. Hellion in 4th position is really bad idea. You cannot use her as stresser, because she will never get to the frontline. I tried to save all characters in the matches, sadly RNGsus just showed me his back and I failed. I lost even one match against darkest player with stress team. The team have a great advantage of DoT and healing, but still it’s a bad team. I don’t recommend it.
Rating: 2/5

#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife
Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Rebel Yell is a ,,damage-stress team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Hellion (accuracy trinket + damage trinket) - deathblow dealer
2nd: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Grave robber (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - damage dealer
4th: Arbalest (damage trinket + healing trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Arbalest + Highwayman / Grave robber)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) 2 disruptors
6) 4 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) DoT is a menace
3) Low healing potential
Rebel Yell is a damage team that combines also stress and DoT. All characters are deathblowers (if we count Arbalest’s „Sniper shot“ on marked character), next you have 2 disruptors, 2 (self)healers and mark synergy. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress and DoT teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „mark team“, „mix damage + DoT“, „double finisher“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Hellion (damager / stresser), it’s better to stick with damage variantion. For Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), for him both variantions are actually good. And lastly Grave robber (pure damage / DoT stresser), better to stick with DoT variantion.
My advice: Firstly open the riposte with Highwayman, then use Grave robber for applying more DoT, next Hellion for dealing some damage / debuffing the frontline and lastly Arbalest for dealing some damage / healing.
I was looking for this team a long time, if you look closely, the team can make great pressure (4 deathblowers + Highwayman & Grave robber combo). Sadly… it’s not that great, unless you’re playing against easier opponents. In queue I met only novices and darkest players, nothing in middle. And the results were obvious, darkest players just obliterated me easily - specifically 3x - a darkest player with LAME based team [Immortal team], one with stress team and one with damage team. And I almost lost a match against novice player.
Don’t try the “mark team” strategy, Arbalest’s “Sniper’s mark” isn’t worth here, because you need her as damager/healer, not a marker.
Playing this was really hard, even against novices, BUT with RNGsus you can beat even harder opponents. Because of this… mid rate.
