Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches in a row.
The Relentless Tide is a ,,stress-DoT" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Man at arms (Spiked shield + accuracy trinket) - guardian
2nd: Abomination (damage trinkets) - DoT dealer
3rd: Grave robber (stress trinket + dodge trinket) - DoT dealer
4th: Antiquarian (Tears of the Lost + dodge trinket) - DoT dealer
PROS:
1) Porcupine
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 2 guardians
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
The Relentless Tide is a nice stress team with great strength of DoT and pure damage. You have 2 riposters, 2 guardians, 2 (self)healers and many ways for applying stress. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress and mark teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „virtue team“, „the finishers“, „porcupine“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Man at Arms (damager / stresser), both variantions are good. Next Abomination (melee beast / DoT puker), the DoT version is the best for playing. And lastly Grave robber (pure damage / DoT stresser), both variantions are good.
My advice: Start with Abomination for opening the riposte, next use Man at arms for opening the riposte too OR buff the team. Then Grave robber for applying DoT and lastly Antiquarian for regeneration spam.
What an awesome team! Many possible strategies for playing, healing isn’t problem, making pressure is great and what’s more, the riposters. If you buff them, they’ll never miss. You can easily beat harder opponents, just be careful, which team you will oppose. I wished for at least 1 mark team (not training Bot at the start of the set), but it’s what it is. With perfect score, no issues in matches and team’s versability, I can say, this is another hidden gem by Red Hook! I highly recommend it! You’ve should try them too!

![Darkest Dungeon - Butchers Circus - Flazin-Yaar showcase
#darkestdungeon #butcherscircus #plaguedoctorforlife
This video shows a comp made by Flazin and Yaar and it shows 5 win matches.
Flazin-Yaar is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Flagellant (Gauntlet of Absolution + damage trinket) - DoT dealer
2nd: Man at arms (Spiked shield + accuracy trinket) - guardian
3rd: Grave robber (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Porcupine
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) 2 disruptors
6) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
3) Low healing potential
Flazin-Yaar is a nice damage team with great strength of stress and DoT. You have 2 disruptors, 2 deathblowers, 2 riposters, but only 1 healer. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „the finishers“, „porcupine“, „original setup“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser) and Grave robber (pure damage / DoT stresser), both variantions are actually good. And also Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), the bandit version is better choice.
My advice: Start with Highwayman for opening the riposte, next use Man at arms for buffing the team OR guarding someone. Then Flagellant for applying DoT and lastly Grave robber also for stressing someone.
About score: One match against novice player with typical novice team. After 2nd turn the opponent surrendered. The match wasn’t even 1 minute long.
About team: What a team! Even with one healer, you can make a pressure and what’s important, both main strategies (porcupine / stress) are working! Unfortunately for me I lost 2x against darkest players - both with lame teams [Dumb comp & Shep’s stress #1]. And what pissed me off, was the second defeat - I was already on winning side, but RNGsus again showed me his back and let me lost the match (because nobody couldn’t finished 2 death’s door characters).
At least I won some matches, the first one was great and quick. The stress is real problem here, but if you’re quick enough, you’ve should manage that. Honestly, even with this players and the score, I enjoyed playing this team!
For another tips and how play this team better, ask Flazin or Yaar (on Discord).
