He's able to use all of his human skills in positions 2 and 3, and most of his beast form skills are in position 1 and 2. In addition to the stress damage problem the abomination has, he cannot be used in a party with vestals, crusaders, or lepers. It requires extra planning when putting together party compoisions because of his unique ability, Transform, that causes stress damage to the entire party when transforming into a beast. The abomination is a high risk/high reward advanced class (Read: difficult). Bounty hunters, arbalests, and highwaymen offer their own damage dealing advantages, so the houndmaster shouldn't be the go to damage dealer because it's a jack of all trades class. It's easy to oversimplify the game and say certain classes are better than others for example, stacking vestals and crusaders works fairly well, but those classes shouldn't be considered the better than others.Ī well supported abomination is a house but can be extremely detrimental to other parties. Darkest Dungeon has 14 playable classes, each with their own unique abilities. This guide helps you understand each class and help you play Darkest Dungeon in more advanced ways and build better parties.
