THE BEST TEAM COMPOSITION - DARKEST DUNGEON 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2023
- This is in my opinion the best "one size fits all" team comp at the time of the recording. Pending any balance changes that may change my mind on this.
Hopefully this helps some folk who have been searching on what may the best to take on the entire game or focus their first candles on. It sure worked for me!
Man-At-Arms: 01:05
Flagellant: 04:43
Jester: 07:40
Plague Doctor: 11:22
Flag and Jester are the picks you could move around if you want to do something specific, or wish to appeal more to your preference. I find PD/MAA too mandatory at the moment, they are so good!

Very good. Not only educational and entertaining but exactly what I want to see at 28 hours in.
Actively exchanging my guys and their abilities with positions 3 and 4 is a study in fun. First time to Flagellant right now and looking forward to it.
I much enjoyed your video. 🍻
I'm so glad you talked about Encore. I'm of the opinion that it's the best button in the game, as it has the potential to be any skill in the game. Wanna burst something down? Encore. Wanna heal someone? Encore. Wanna give someone an extra tick on their moves' cooldowns? Believe it or not, Encore.
Agreed, it is overlooked so badly by so many
Given the speed of Virtuoso Jester, often going first, it makes some fun shenanigans possible.
Like, getting a Sharpshooter Highwayman to Take Aim and then get a guaranteed crit attack that same turn. Or, getting the usually slow Seraph Vestal to put a Consecration of Light under an attacker before their 1st turn. Or even getting a Warlock Occultist set up with Chaotic Offering, making a first turn The Burning Stars possible, if that's your thing.
@RMoniker For sure, in one of my runs I frequently gave the first round Encore to my Ravager Hellion, slapping the R4 enemy with Iron Swan then following up with a Howling End to chunk a front-liner.
It is king of action economy.
@@Hedge_Knight_Gaming encore with seraph vestel is amazing
Bulwark is my favorite MAA path solely because of the taunt buff it gives to stand your ground. Having 2 taunt abilities is amazing and means you never really need to use defender.
Even with vanguard I don't even use defender all that much, less times in an entire run than I have fingers on 1 hand. Not having the damage from vanguard is really felt.
But I'm also not playing the hardest hardmode atm so that may change.
Bulwark paired with Runaway/Jester turns him into a stunbot with stupid huge damage it's super fun
Beat Hard Mode using your team comp first try. Maniac Flag was really helpful in getting mark tokens down and keeping my DPS up as Man at Arms could deal tons of damage while healing him practically to full each round (when stacking healing skill increase trinkets and inn items)
This team is great for getting rid of that urge to play reactively and instead- proactively creating ways to control the enemy.
To deal with some of those difficult elite enemy encounters on Area 4 with Stygian, I would use encore to either destroy the backline like you said- or get riposte up.
I miss the pain train
Interesting to see two combo generating heroes. Will have to give it a go.
Most folk run Graverobber over Jester, I like being able to generate constant combo points and have 2 others benefit from it.
Very solid team build 👏
However, I think these combos are wasted in this team. PD already has blight piercing. FG and JE won't use combos. Only MAA can use combos to heal himself (or stun with shield bash).
Any other hero can find better use to this combo tokens (HWM, GR, HE, RW, OC and LE)
Doesn't sound very solid
My winning comp is alchemist PD, virtuoso jester, sharpshot HWM and Raveger. I got with them all the way to the final chapter. Best traits of this team is it's outstanding reach, misplacement recovery adaptability and token removal. It can struggle a bit with tanking damage but wtith some support Helion can tank with her raw health pool going on and off death's door.
My favorite fight with this team had to be act 3 finale where I got Helion to +140% healing received, 70% stress resist and 100% stun resist and 3 speed. She got all of the focus tokens, ignored most of the stress, took 50 damage per attack and recovered all of it with adrenaline rush in between the boss's attacks while dealing 30+ damage back at him with the rest of the team melting him with DoT and removing all of his tokens
Why all the thumbs down? This is a great team and video!
Which abilities get your first mastery tokens?
incredible
Going to try out this comp except for PD i'll replace with warlock occultist for fun
May your heals not be 0 and apply bleed.
Very informative guide! Just out of curiosity what do you usually spend your first 2 mastery points on? I've been going Retribution as a mandatory first pick in any MaA comp I use, but I've never tried Flag before
I typically always take 1 stress heal, bolster is my go too. And then I pick up some damage. PD backline nuke is my favorite to pick up first.
Maniac is a really niche pick. I understand you’re using it for punish combos, personally I think it’s his worst path because his damage is so low.
I actually think Wanderer is one of Flag’s better paths. Making Sepsis similar to exsanguinate in DD1, & Lash being a self heal/buff/stun removal. The Scourge path has deathless acts like redeem in DD1, & that Sepsis paired with PD, & some good trinkets, can do 80+ damage & heal the Flag.
Yeah it does have some very good combinations, I just like the combo points. The damage isn't all that low since you have a good chunky hit and a dot that comes with it.
BUt if you want more explosive numbers, yes you can go hard with paths but it does lean more to all of your eggs in one basket. Especially if you need very specific trinkets to push it hard.
What skills do you think are the most important to upgrade?
And hightwayman?
Question: what about hitting 4th rank with this comp?
Ofc PD and Flagg can hit 4th with some blight damage but the question is, how long does it take for the damage on 4th rank to get killed?
I personally prefer more direct damage. Bleeding and Blight is fun but imho playing with DoTs is a bit harder than dealing tons of direct damage
1st reason - it takes TIME for DoTs to be aplied. The faster you kill, the less damage you'll take.
2nd reason - some of the enemies got Death Door's resistance and they can resist DoT's on Death's Door too.
I'd swap Flaggelant for Sharpshooter Dismas and be glad with a comp that can actually hit all 4. ranks of enemies with a good Direct Damage with maybe a little support of bleeding from J and blight from PD
I'm not saying your comp is bad or wrong - it just has its advantages and disadvantages, like everything ;)
My favorite team comp is the same, the role are a bit different for flagellant, but it's similar. I prefer playing with the taunt/heal for the flagellant to switch with the MAA's provocation. Very strong and effective, except for the boss at act 2 because of the lack of burst damage (easiest to do act 2 with Highwayman instead of Flagellant). Moreover, it's fun to play and for me, this is very solid (MAA, Jester and Plague Doctor are for me S tier)
Highwayman bullies that boss and his stupid wings lol
I really like this composition but it has one big weakness, the lack of raw damage on the backline which can be fatal for certain encounters like 2nd map boss. You can't call it the "best team composition" if it can't do the Grand Slam achievement (beat every boss with the same four heroes) right?
I'd replace the flagellant with the highwayman. The other option is to replace the man at arms with the hellion but the man at arms is just too strong to be replaced
I have beaten the second map boss with this comp, without deaths. But it was close. You can indeed run a HWM or change the path of the flag to wanderer or tech in a hellion instead of the maa. It all makes it a bit easier if that is what you're going for.
This comp is one size fits all for me, you can always find better comps for specific things, like it should be.
How does this team deal with the act 2 boss? Hitting the damage threshold to avoid the nuke in the backline is going to be tricky with this comp. Or do you just tank it?
you could encore acid rain for a very high chance to reach the back lung threshold
Imo this team lacks in Bleed, which Highwayman can provide. He can also provide damage and positioning and buffs himself. I can see this team work like a charm by being cautious and passive. But I like them damage points, BAM BAM BOOM lol I run this team with highwayman but I will even put Leper instead of man in arms for crazy damage.
any chance you could showcase the team? Either Im horrible at the game but I dont really see how that team seems that good.
Love the video though!
I streamed a lot with this team. Once I return to DD2 I will prob pick them right back up
would've thought that Sharpshot HWM would be better here instead of Jester
yes Jester has more reliable stress healing, can set up combo practically any turn, and encore. but why need an offensive support when you ARE the offense itself
everyone likes things differently I guess.
What order do you use your mastery upgrades in?
I typically get one of the stress heals and a damage hit, I enjoy starting with the backline nuke of the PD.
How does this party beat Act 2 boss? I don't see any damage on back row worth speaking of.
If you want to follow the tactic you can easily do an encore PD / Flag combo but I always just burn down the boss.
Just today on stream I burned him down without even considering doing any damage to the lungs.
If you want it to be more reliable you can change out Jester for range damage or Flag for hellion with iron swan and run her on 1.
@@WolfsGoRawr Thanks for the tip. I imagine this team can heap a bunch of damage on one target, especially with the right gearing and buffs.
Just switch out flag for hellion and do this order. PD > Jest > MAA > Hellion
Honestly, PD MAA and Jest are the top 3 heroes in this Patch and for the 4th member you can pick whoever you want depending on your goal.
Do a team that bypasses shields please. There's so many shielding in the game now
Easy: Highwayman's Highway Robbery and/or any* skill that applies DoTs.
* - AND counts as hitting the enemy; so... most of them :D
So... PD, Jester, Highwayman, Flagellant?
with maniac you can put Flagellant in 3rd rank, and then have Highwayman and MAA in the front. Point Blank synergizes perfectly Strategic Withdrawal. Highwayman can also steal positive tokens while Flagellant removes negative tokens and puts them on enemies, insanely op. You lose More More but I personally don't think its great, it feels like it just stalls the game, and MAA is tanky enough.
When I do run the HWM I just use him as a ranged unit on 2 or 3. But I only typically bring him when I have to do chapter 2 and I don't bring the helion though
Act 2 Boss Completely Counters this Team.........
ты большой молодец
it didnt work for me
It's flagEllant
Scourge Flaggelent is S-Tier you might wanna reconsider your position on him
Agreed, I'm running a lot of Scource Flag and this guy makes you almost immortal. The self healing and healing output he provides is unmatched by anything else imo.
Leper solos them all
don't think this is the best team, flag should be swapped for HWM for more direct damage. DoTs and recovery get covered by PD.
Not as good as of 2024. Just fyi.
