Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Plague bearers is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Leper (damage trinket + accuracy trinket) - damage dealer
2nd: Grave robber (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
3rd: Plague doctor (accuracy trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Occultist (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Occultist + Grave robber)
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
Plague bearers is a damage team with great strength of stress and DoT. All characters can make AoE damage, next you have 3 disruptors, 3 (self)healers, 2 deathblowers (if we count Occultist’s „Sacrificial stab“ on afflicted character) and a mark synergy. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „the finishers“, „full stress“, „mark team“ and „full DoT“. I tried both variantions of Grave robber (pure damage / DoT stresser), it’s better to stick with DoT variantion. And Plague doctor (stress / DoT), both variantions are good.
My advice: Good choice, if your Leper have a skill „Purge“, if yes, use it as first. Then use one of your disruptors (Plague doctor / Occultist), lastly Grave robber for dealing some damage.
Very long time ago I played a similiar team to this [Outsiders] and it was quite nice, even with defeats. Playing this now, it was a little bit harder. I lost 3x against darkest players, one was playing lame based team, one quite a nice DoT team and one with duo “Flagellant-Crusader”. The main problem of the team is its “fragility”, not much HP and only 1 good damager (Leper). They can be disrupted easily, so that’s another problem. But still you have some chances to beat even harder opponents. Playing this was kinda mid.
Rating: 3/5
