You’ve walk far enough to see the finish line. You’re extremely exhausted, deprivated, but the sight of the finish line will hype you to the reach. Just a little pause, for the last time in the last checkpoint. The finale is close.
This is a fifth milestone, many steps were walked, so many nerves snapped and many drops fell. But I will end the challenge once and for all!
Join my crusade and be the part of my support!

![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.

![Darkest Dungeon - Butchers Circus - Sacrosanct vigilance showcase
#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #plaguedoctorforlife
This video shows a comp made by sis and it shows 5 win matches.
Sacrosanct vigilance is a ,,stress-DoT“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Abomination (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Man at arms (accuracy trinket + damage trinket) - guardian
4th: Houndmaster (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - DoT dealer
PROS:
1) Porcupine
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 3 stunners
7) 2 guardians
8) 2 disruptors
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) Disruption is a menace
5) RNGsus is a menace
Sacrosanct vigilance is a weird stress team, with great strength of DoT and pure damage. You have 3 (self)healers, 3 stunners, 2 disruptors, 2 guardians and 2 riposters. Unfortunately this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „virtue team“, „original setup“, „full stress“ and „porcupine“. I tried both variantions of Abomination (melee beast / DoT puker), probably the „melee beast“ is better option. And Man at arms (damager / stresser), only damage variantion is better choice.
My advice: Start with Crusader or Abomination for stunning someone, next use Man at arms for buffing the team / opening the riposte, lastly Houndmaster for applying DoT.
I’m dissapointed with this team. Long time ago I was hoping for playing this, on paper looks quite nice - lots of stunners, riposting, DoT. Sounds promising. The reality is way more different… First - you cannot activate full porcupine, because of Abomination in 1st position. Second - your Crusader will always miss his first attack, even with accuracy buffs / trinkets. Third - RNGsus will screw you in dealing deathblows. And lastly (at least for me) fourth - you will get only easy players and even that it’s hard to play. I struggled long time to make some progress, usual tactics didn’t worked, the original setup is just bad because of trinkets and what pisses me off, I couldn’t manage to won a match with all characters (only in starting 2 matches). 3 defeats - against veteran player with damage team [Ancient Chinese special] and 2 darkest players with DoT teams. And I was close to be victorious against veteran player, but he used TACTICAL DESYNC on my winning side.
About score: Actually I tried to achieve at least one more victory with all characters alive - playing the „full stress“ strategy against novice player. I won, but 2 characters died.
I don’t like this team.
For another tips and how play this team better, ask sis (on Discord).

![Darkest Dungeon - Butchers Circus - Damned and forgotten showcase
#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #PlagueDoctorForLife
Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Damned and forgotten is a ,,damage-stress team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Grave robber (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Plague doctor (accuracy trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 disruptors
6) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
Damned and forgotten is a damage team with great strenght of stress and DoT. All characters can make AoE damage, next you have 2 healers, 2 disruptors and 2 deathblowers. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „the finishers“, „full stress“, „support Crusader“ and „mix damage + DoT“. I tried both variantions of Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), the bandit version is much better choice. Also Grave robber (pure damage / DoT stresser), it’s better to stick with DoT variantion. And lastly Plague doctor (stress / DoT), both variantions are good.
My advice: Start with Highwayman for opening the riposte, next use Crusader for stunning someone, then Grave robber for applying DoT and lastly Plague doctor for stressing someone.
Now this team… They dont have much to offer, but you have some advantages, in 2 deathblowers and AoE damage. I was suprised, that I won few matches against harder opponents, but I lost 2x against apprentice players with LAME based teams [shepARB’s stress, The Darkest Mark], and 1x against darkest player with a stress team. You can make some pressure to the opponent, but you must be still agressive. If you switch to defensive strategy, you will lose. Playing this was mid, even with victories against harder opponents.
