I pulled off the Grand Slam right when the game came out of Early Access. I used a team of Barristan, Dismas, Sarmenti, and Paracelsus. That team was somewhat better then, but I think it would still work really well now. Paracelsus is still really, really good. But you want to use Alchemist. Plague Grenade is just a run-winning skill because it almost always lands. You slaughter the General and I rarely had much trouble with the Librarian either. And the team covers all the Mountain bosses well. Barristan is an incredible tank, and his ability to taunt breaks a lot of encounters. Dismas (with the ranged attack path) plus Paracelsus means you can hit the back ranks HARD and that solves a lot of problems too. I've watched people play this game quite a bit. A lot of those runs were with crappy teams, and the common themes of crappy teams are low damage, and a limited ability to hit the back row. Good luck to you sir. I think the previous comp you were using is likely a better choice, but I can understand if you don't want to run it back, given what happened. I quit playing the game for months when the Barristan I used for the Grand Slam, with locked-in Jinx, died on the first DD check after something like three crits in a row fighting the Exemplar.

@trlongwell I've got a few strong comps in mind that should work well. Just wanted to do some random comps to shake things up before committing to another 5 runs with the same bumpkins. Next one I'm throwing at it is going to be team riposte.

@@BigJoeBear I'll look forward to your new attempt. I think the Jester/HWM/Flag/Hellion comp is pretty good, although maybe not great for Leviathan because Hellion really wants to be up front and doesn't have good dance moves. Flagellant doesn't like moving either. Leviathan scares me the most out of the lair bosses, frankly.

2:54:42 some might call me casual for this, but on DD1 i almost immediately put a mod that allows me to bring any level character, to any level dungeon. Realistically, in a situation like this... i just dont think it makes a whole lot of since for a Veteran Hero to act like they are "too good" to go to weaker dungeons or help out weaker members of the team... it really helped with the grind too...
@BigJoeBear2 ай бұрын
Yeah, the only time it really helps in any way is bosses. Taking champion heroes into veteran bosses will make them fairly easy. With that said, fuck everyone else, play it how you like it. As long as you're having fun.
@tylerdurden79652 ай бұрын
@@BigJoeBear ive found it really helps with the grind. you can bring weaker characters to harder dungeons or throw in a min/high level character in a low level party doing a weaker dungeon, to minimize some of the risk. Less risk = less character deaths = less having to restart from scratch. Again, more casual play, sure... but the games grindy enough without having to restart characters over and over again. The crimson curse DLC is the definition of grind...

Loved this game. Might I suggest using 2 one handed weapons? I used mjolnir and another hammer. The combat is a lot faster and you get almost constant stun kill animations. Its fun to watch and makes combat better. You can also parry and block arrows with one handed weapons so you dont need a shield. Seems like 2 hand & shield is what a lot of people use but that combat is painfully slow. When your offline try for yourself. 2 one handed weapon combat is so much faster. Just make sure they are the same weapon type. Then you get a special kill animation that you dont get with a with a sword and shield. 2 hammers were my favorite. Anyway hope you have fun with it. 😊

This has been the easiest that I have seen the party relationships go for you. Pretty nice. Free retaliations, free extra attacks, free heals, free stress heals, and buffing each other like mad. They love each other, they really love each other! Shame it isn't as controllable, unless they changed it and that's why they got up as high as it was. On a lighter note, I find it hilarious how many knives the Grave Robber had to have had for that final boss fight. It's like that scene from Stargate Atlantis, when Ronon Dex needed to throw knives at the controls to their cell, he just kept pulling knives from his clothes, boots, and hair.

All the way back on the Atari 2600 we had "E.T., straight to landfill." Cash grabs and attempted cash grabs have always been there. It's really the money people that cause it -- the same dude who made the worst game for 2600 also made Yars Revenge, arguably the best thing made on that platform. The difference was simply whether the money people were overly involved in the project vs not.
