Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Nightshift (DD) is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Vestal (stun trinket + accuracy trinket) - healer
3rd: Jester (dodge trinket + damage trinket) - deathblow dealer
4th: Occultist (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 stunners
6) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Marks are a menace
4) Disruption is a menace
Nightshift (DD) is a nice damage team with great strenght of stress and DoT. You have 3 healers, 2 stunners and 2 deathblowers. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I played a few strategies, like „mix damage + DoT“, „the finishers“, „support Crusader“ or „mix damage + stress“. The „mix damage + stress / DoT“ are probably the best strategies.
My advice: Start with one of your stunners (Crusader / Vestal) for stunning someone, next use Jester for buffing the team OR immediately attack, lastly Occultist for disruption or healing.
Another team with Vestal + Crusader in frontline. What a matches. The great power of this team lies in 2 stunners and 3 healers. Unfortunately I lost 2 matches against darkest players with a decent teams. Not a bad team, you’ve should try them too!
Rating: 4/5

#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife
Showcase one of basic teams in Butchers Circus. This video shows 5 win matches.
Iron dog is a ,,damage-stress team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Flagellant (Gauntlet of Absolution + damage trinket) - DoT dealer
3rd: Man at arms (Protector’s Kite + stun resist trinket) - guardian
4th: Houndmaster (dodge trinkets) - guardian
PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 guardians
6) 2 stunners
CONS:
1) DoT is a menace
2) Stress is a menace
3) Marks are a menace
4) Stuns are a menace
Iron dog is a damage team with great strength of stress and DoT. You have 3 (self)healers, 2 guardians and 2 stunners. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress and DoT teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „original setup“, „support Crusader“, „the guardians“ and „full stress“. The „original setup“ was took from youtube video of Sheperd Doggy [COMMON FLAGELLANT W! The Butchers Circus]. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser), it’s better to stick with stress variantion.
My advice: Start with Crusader for stunning someone, next use Flagellant for applying DoT. Then Man at arms for buffing the team OR guarding someone. Lastly Houndmaster for guarding someone or applying DoT.
What a good team! The duo „Crusader-Flagellant“ is always great, and if they are supported by one tanky and one dodgy guardians, you can beat everyone very easily. Sadly… I cannot give them the highest rate, because I played only against these players (not challenging) and I lost once against darkest player with a lame based team [Ancient chinese special]. You can make a pressure, healing is good and buffs from Man at arms are always useful. I like the team, but because of players and the score… mid rate.

#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife
Showcase one of basic teams in Butchers Circus. This video shows 5 win matches.
AI has better builds comp is a ,,damage-stress team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
4th: Arbalest (damage trinket + healing trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Bounty hunter / Arbalest + Highwayman)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great healing potential
5) 3 disruptors
6) 3 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Disruption is a menace
3) DoT is a menace
4) RNGsus is a menace
AI has better builds comp is a damage team, that combines also stress and little bit of DoT. You have 3 disruptors, 3 deathblowers (if we count Arbalest’s „Sniper shot“ on marked character), 2 healers and powerful mark synergy. Unfortunately this team is vulnerable against stress and DoT teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „support Crusader“, „double finisher“, „mark team“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), both variantions are actually good.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption, next use Highwayman for opening the riposte, then Crusader for stunning someone and lastly Arbalest for dealing massive damage.
Quite a nice team. The powerful mark synergy between Arbalest and Bounty hunter, stress output from Crusader and Highwayman. You can make easily great pressure to the opponent, BUT beware! Even one little mistake can cost you the whole match. I was defeated 3x - 2x by darkest players with based mark teams [World dominantion + different mark team] and once by… a novice player… with healless team. Yes. HEALLESS TEAM defeats the powerful team. I’m kinda traumatized, because everything worked perfectly, but in one moment RNGsus turns back to me and it was over, nothing I can do. The defeats from darkest players were actually good played matches, but that novice match… embarrassing.
With good setup you can beat everyone, there’s still a chance. But because of players in queue and the score, I can give them only the mid rate. Not bad, but I was hoping for best results.
Rating: 3/5
