How to Beat EVERY Siege in Kingdoms | Darkest Dungeon 2

[@jimmy_h7911]

Arbalests look a lot like Vvulf's brigands from DD1, that means that he trains them or at least provides them equipment. That gave me an idea of bringing Vvulf in as a final Barrack upgrade. He would act as a Warlord but for militia with bomb attacks and buffs

[@seth9369]

That is such a cool idea!

[@sekira4516]

playable Vvulf as an official character would be so cool.

[@samuelbarros1563]

I wish we could play him since he is already in our side. Imagine making the enemy fear coming close to it

[@javierperezmerino9457]

Im so happy he looked for another path in his life

[@ExtremeMan10]

The barks for heroes from miltia are good addition, my favourite would be the one for Crusader: "Our Vanguard! Clear a path!" or Highwayman: "If "you" trust him".

[@Kirisapostle12]

I have been playing both DD1 and DD2 for a long time but never had a fight as intense as an inn defence with the peasant militia. You kill one of theirs they kill one of yours, you are fighting tooth and nail to keep your last arbalist alive by protecting her but your front line is also dying like man these fights are amazing

[@pb4977]

It's so true ^^

[@tybahza5643]

Here before Derp mentions hellion as the correct way to break seiges

[@ShuffleFM]

Beat him by 1 minute

[@pimpsterpidgeon4502]

I swear that Veteren Fighters are stronger than upgraded heroes sometimes, They just equipped the best moves and have no stress. (Death's door is not a factor because Death's door resist is a myth anyways)

[@jimmy_h7911]

Yeah lack of stuns, general damage and heal kinda makes DBR useless. I rather have death armor than rely on coinflip. Although this would probably be busted as hell with taunt and combat item heals

[@mkryvohub]

Militia having no stress mechanic really pulls into perspective how our heroes are a bunch of fucked up people that are barely functioning on their mission and are ready to kill each other or have a heart attack if something goes wrong.

[@gone2heaven178]

To be fair, they also don't fight as many horrors as our heroes do. To me personally, I really liked the militia because it has put into perspective how exceptional in their skills our heroes are

[@level100derp7]

I have an easier guide on beating the sieges: Just show them a picture of Hellion's bodacious biceps and watch them either run in fear of her might or simply keel over from their hearts being unable to comprehend her majesty. I've done this on every siege and it's made the game disgustingly easy, literally cleared max difficulty sliders last night, which is nice because it gives me more time to stare at Hellion

[@Flynn_Lawrence]

Never change derp

Wait when did we have a helion fanatic in every video

Kingdom actually made try new comp, skills and trinket due to the logistics, enjoying it more than the base game

[@johancito16345]

Kingdom is technically a base mode too

[@typecasticonoclast]

for real. I'm on the final escalation running a front-rank orphan runaway with armory key, chiurgeon apron, and throwing axe combat item due to fatigue and hero deaths (kept forgetting about the 60% dbr).

[@DamienCloud]

​@@johancito16345yeah sure it is now but we played the game for like 2 years without it

[@sirneko1278]

I wish we have a special traits for MAA. Let him buff militia, it fit his theme, let him repent for his past mistakes. That would be so cool

[@blackomega34]

I rush to master command+ on him anyway.

[@SusloNick]

there is also a Commander quirk that gives militia random buff tokens

[@waywardsonofthenight228]

18:30 Well. Yesterday I found out from your stream that fighters could pass for block+. Today I find out that arbalists can pass for dodge+.

[@johancito16345]

The only things against kingdoms i havwe is that the beastmen should have atleast one more unit, bc it becoms too repetitive having a double tribewalker and huntsmen 3 times in a row, that aside is the beesat thing that happened to the game in a long time

[@ShuffleFM]

That would be nice

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

If i understood it correctly, once the other two campaigns are added, they will all have a chance of appearing in sieges.

[@myravioli5096]

One thing I thought about was allowing Swine and/or Creature den mobs to sometimes appear in Beastfolk mashes. The Swine could be explained as an alliance between the different Human/beast Hybrids. The Beastmen pay a share of their spoils in exchange for extra muscle and access to the Sluice. And maybe the Beast clan would have a knack for taming creature dens because they’re part creature themself.

[@destroyermaker]

What I'm wondering is where and when to upgrade barracks. I always seem to run out of resources and end up with a bunch of Partisans at only some locations and it ends up being too little too late.

[@ShuffleFM]

Early game partisans are okay. Traveling heroes can handle early sieges too. After maybe 15 days you should start looking to drop vet barracks in any inn you don't plan to go to or is too out of the way, just to keep them safe. Priority for me is unlock / upgrade skills on the "best" heroes, then vets

[@Д.К-ж8ф]

aint no way RH pulling double ghoul bs with that second siege bruh also can we get a standalone arbalest already "1$ apperentice militia vs 100000000$ veteran militia challenge!"

[@ericktheurer]

Kingdoms definetly puts you in the effort of doing teambuilding. I ended up dividing my 12 heroes in 3 different groups. Also i feel like the inn at full skills upgrade at like the 3rd or 4th expedition its too broken. At least until you get to the 3rd level of danger

[@Alt_Account_420]

The correct way of defending a siege is to send hellion with a veteran flare, have her eat the flare and howling end 10 times in a row + adrenaline rush I am not derp's alt

[@blackomega34]

Holy shit I never thought to bring one hero and flares, thanks mate!

[@QuanPham-ty2xl]

I found garrison barrack kinda strong, and they can repel early assault siege pretty easily, so i make sure upgrade the inn in the choke point first

[@seth9369]

The militia are the real heroes

[@Iteration456-8_codename_goblin]

yesterday was the worst day in all of dd2 I had to defend 2 sieges, one had vets vestal and abom, the other had only helion but vestal and abom could make it first one went fine but in the travel day to the second one I got the event that gave all characters a random trait vestal rolled Breacher, abom rolled lost in time and space, and helion got torn rotator cuff tldr; abom could not do anything notable the whole fight because he was stuck in rank 3 (30% shuffle chance my nuts), and I couldn't move vestal to get out of the way of 20 crit damage, and hellion ate 12 blight every turn I alt f4 the game and play mario kart

[@shodahollow4021]

Hey bro, cool video!

[@litinokid]

i just start playingkingdom may i ask, is the fight automatically start with the defender(if i have upgrade) once the siege timer end? can i start it before the timer end?

[@ShuffleFM]

If you upgrade the barracks and have no heroes there or less than 4, and the timer hits 0, then they will defend. If you drive the main team there before the timer expires then you defend it with them

[@litinokid]

@@ShuffleFM Thanks you

[@RollingBlocks]

Is Stalker's Reach supposed to always remove an extra Block token when hitting the guarding Militia?

[@ShuffleFM]

Brutal reach yes. Stalkers I'm not sure unless it crit

[@tylerjohnson4830]

DELETE BEFORE THEY NERF THE FUCKING VETS LIKE HOW THEY DID OUR GIRL PARACELSUS. BLOOD MOON IS ALREADY HARD

[@ShuffleFM]

Too late man people have already been saying it in ddcord lol. We are living on borrowed time.

[@Tufticles]

I hate that people are calling for a nerf to the veterans. Considering how much of a resource sink they are, they SHOULD be able to hold an inn on their own. They're not even remotely busted, you still have to play smart to clear fights on escalation 3

[@tylerjohnson4830]

Back to testing Bounty Hunter teams in vain then, sooner or later. Oh veterans...

[@SusloNick]

Vets are honestly too strong its not interesting, it removes any tension and a need for good tactics to win, not saying they should be made non-viable, but they need some toning down

[@Tufticles]

They really, really don't. They cost at minimum like 50 inn materials to upgrade, and that's not counting the trinkets. You deserve to be rewarded for investing in your inns. Not to mention trying to invest in heroes you're not bringing with you is incredibly hard at the start and even if you do, many in the roster struggle horribly with the beastmen. They're fine.

[@ShuffleFM]

I feel like any nerf to their effectiveness is gonna make them not worth it. Late game, 50 inn mats, and they fight maybe 2 sieges max unless you're going really slow.
