Hellion - She's a good damage dealer, and is the only character that can hit the back line from position 1. She's always the best pick for a Healer imo. Even if you're using her in the second position, she's still very strong because Hand of Light does good damage and gives the enemy a damage debuff. Give her some healing skill increase trinkets, and your party becomes practically immortal. Vestal - What do I need to say? She's the best Healer who can also do some damage if necessary. Beasts Bile is obviously much less effective in the Warrens and Weald, but with the versatility of the Abom it doesn't matter much. The ability to heal so much Health AND remove a good amount of stress in 1 turn is insane, you really can't get much more value than that (I'd argue the only skill that has potential to give more value is judgement, and that's only if it crits since it'll do damage, heal the Vestal, and Stress heal at the same time). In Human form, he is also very strong, as Manacles has a decent stun chance and does good damage, Beasts Bile is a reasonably reliable AOE Blight skill that also reduces an enemy's Blight Resist, and Absolution is just the straight up best self-heal in the entire game. He does tremendous damage while in Beast form (albeit at the cost of party-wide stress, plus susteined stress on him). Nothing else to really say.Ībomination - Assuming you can take him (Not having Vestal, Crusader, or Leper in your party) he's one of the best classes in the game in the majority of situations. If needed she can be used strictly for stuns, buffs, and Blight/Bleed cures in the Weald and Warrens and she'll still be able to contribute pretty well. Even without a Blight skill increase, she's still always a good pick, though without it she can struggle to land her Blights in the Weald and Warrens, however Battlefield Medicine and Blinding Gas more than make up for it. Plague Doctor - With a Blight skill increase, she's one of the strongest classes in the game. Even against certain bosses where other heroes could be better, he is still a valid option due to how strong Retribution and Defender are. Man-At-Arms -MAA is hands down the best tank in the game, and is always a good pick, regardless of the situation. Warning - This post is going to be VERY long and probably has more info than you'll care about, skip past the first section if you want.Ĭharacters that are good no matter where you are (some will be mentioned again for specific areas):
