Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches in a row.
Hired muscle (DD) is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Man at arms (Spiked shield + accuracy trinket) - guardian
2nd: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Arbalest (damage trinket + healing trinket) - damage dealer
4th: Antiquarian (Tears of the Lost + dodge trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Porcupine
2) Mark synergy (Arbalest + Highwayman)
3) Great damage output
4) Great stress output
5) Great healing potential
6) 3 disruptors
7) 2 deathblowers
8) 2 guardians
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Disruption is a menace
Hired muscle (DD) is a nice damage team with great strength of stress and little bit of DoT. You have a mark synergy, 3 disruptors, 2 healers, 2 guardians, 2 deathblowers and most importantly 2 riposters. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „the guardians“, „the finishers“, „porcupine“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser) and Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), both variantions are good.
My advice: Start with Highwayman for opening the riposte, next use Man at arms for opening riposte too OR guard someone. Then Antiquarian for regeneration spam and lastly Arbalest for dealing some damage or clearing debuffs.
Finally, a good composition! Great strength of riposters and many possibilities for playing. What’s nice, if you’ll spam Antiquarian’s „Rejuvenating vapours“, you don’t need to rely on any healing. And the damage output is just… great! Unfortunately I cannot give them the highest rate, even with perfect score. If I could face at least one harder opponent, they would have gotten 5/5. Still, nice team! I recommend it!
Rating: 4/5
