    A couple of things I didn't see you mentioning:
    1. Your heroes will catch the crimson curse if they spend time in a facility with a hero who has the curse. I.e. if you have a hero who has the crimson curse, and another who doesn't have it e.g. in the sanitarium together, then the other is likely to catch the curse. I think this is important to note because you might get mighty screwed if half of your roster gets the curse like this, you might actually run out of blood or at least spend too much time doing the gathering missions and you increase your risk of meeting the fanatic
    2. The Fanatic will only appear if you send two or more heroes with the curse on a mission at the same time, and if you meet him on a mission and run, the next fight will always be the fanatic, i.e. you can't run from him and must kill him or cancel the mission if you meet him once
    3. You DON'T need to kill the Countess to beat Bloodmoon. If you kill the Heart of Darkness, then the Bloodmoon hero death and time limits will go away, even if you didn't complete the first Courtyard mission. This is why Bloodmoon is easier than Stygian, you get extra time and more allowed hero deaths essentially for free

      Quick addition: The chance is heightened doing the same activity, so while it's probably fine to send them to the same building, sending them to the same activity is just asking for the curse to spread.

    Two things that were missing here that I should point out:
    - A transformed Manservant is definitely your highest priority. A full-team guard is his worst move, but after that he also gains a bleed skill with respectable damage (Choice Cut) and his new stress skill (Refined Palate, I think?) can stun.
    - A hero with Crimson Curse canNOT contract _any diseases whatsoever._ None at all. Nada.

Never, at any point underestimate her, she's final boss of the DLC for a reason.

      You prevent apex by using movement skills. No need to rely on RNG. He can't submerge in rank 1 and can't apex without submerge. So just keep pulling him/stunning. In endless mode I don't even let him use apex, it's simply a run ender.

    Just wanted to touch upon how Croc works, which is that after staying 1 entire turn in rank 2 or 3 it will use Submerge, then Apex. Disorienting Blast and Flashbang still reset the timer, even if they move Croc from 2 to 3 or vice versa. Since they have a Stun attached, imo they are the best way to deal with Croc.

      IMO the game is so long and grindy it doesn't make much sense to recommend playing through it once without DLC and then again with it. Steam says I have 135 hours on DD and I don't believe I've actually ever finishedf a run. I always run out of steam before getting through it, and losing a champion unit immediately slaps on a metric ton of more grind to get a replacement up.

    Crimson court is a bleeder’s wet dream, ironic how the blood obsessiors are weakest to exsanguination. A main thing I had trouble getting over is crimson curse itself, getting annoyed whenever a valuable character was randomly afflicted with it just from drinking in the same bar as another. But then I went on a winery quest, and began to see it as more of a boon, status debuffs mean very little after all, and the buffs from feeding a craver far out weigh the negatives, especially with the plentiful supply you receive.

    M,a,a just reposts and guards either vestel or jester (which ever one is in the worse spot.)
    Jester uses Battle balard every odd numbered turn so I dont need to use accuracy trinkets and either one of the bleed attacks on a even numbered turn. Just to help out with damage. Can de stress if needed.
    The vestel does what ever she wants to or is needed. MOST OF THE TIME judgement is good enough for vestel self heal. (Don't bother if the to hit chance is below 90. You know how cruel dd luck can be.) But other than that just spam aoe heal and stun the chevelar.
    This has gotten me through all courtyard missions in 1 week every time.

    I would like to add just a little something about the flagellant : As you know he can get a ton of boons from high stress, since he have his own affliction that is more beneficial than detrimental most of the time, and also trinkets that give him even more power if he has high stress / is afflicted. So feeding him blood when it's not necessary to get extra stress that you have the control over is very useful I think. Just pop a bottle or two before a boss to get afflicted and voilà~

I ran the countess strat you mentioned.... and it was flawless. No one even got close to death and my Leper hit like a truck. I don't always want to min/max in a game like DD, but I was just over the crimson curse lmao. Awesome guide, I learned a lot from your videos recently as I got back into DD after not touching it since 2017. Thanks for everything you do, I look forward to learning about DD2 in the future!

    one setup that has worked very well against the fanatic for me is (vestal, jester, flagyelent, leper) jester can buff and can keep bleed going from any position. leper can mark himself and protect (if he gets on then pyre you can leave him there for a VERY long time) vestal just heals whoever the fanatic hit and flagyelent do big bleed and self heals (he seems to be the one who actually takes damage as long as the leper is on the pyre) kinda just gotta hope he grabs the leper early on but if he isn't he can easily destroy the pyre to reset it.

    To be honest, PD/Jester/Occ/Leper is just all around good.
    Occ can heal safely because PD is there.
    PD can speed and damage buff Leper
    PD and Occ have stuns
    You can do purge and daemon's pull shenanigans
    Intimidate stacks with weakening curse.
    Jester obviously hits that battle ballad button buffing everyone's but specifically occ ridiculous crit.
    When all else fails
    SOLO !
    FINALE

    HM, PD, Flag and Hel for me. It just works. Though sometimes I pick Bountyhunter instead of PD in order to deal the croc.
    My biggest gripe is, that I try to beat these epic dungeons in 2 times, like retreat only once. It seems I waste too much resources and don't get much out of it. Wasting those shovels and blood vials and getting dem tier 1 trinkets.

    i just ran the first team you mentioned in the veteran CC, pd/jes/occ/lep, and i noticed that it's extremely vulnerable to surprise since you're depending on stuns and also for leper to take 1 or 2 enemies out before stun resist builds up too high. i lost a pd to 2 back to back buried blast crits.
    trying to find a team that can 1 week the crimson court. maybe i'll try that team again with -surprise chance, but also thinking about a tankier team with a bunch of stress relief like vestal/jester with dirk stab/crusader with holy lance/flag

    I've had very little problems with CC on everything but Crocodilian which until this video has always felt so stupidly overtuned to me, I didn't realise moving it was the solution, but the first 2 times I met it, it cleaned me up, had to run away, lost 2 of my best teams in 2 different Hamlets, and I when I thought I was gonna 1 week Baron it nearly killed another. I was probably just preparing wrong, and I hadn't cracked the code, but the damage numbers feel like how Brigand X pounder is meant to feel

    • @ShuffleFM
      @ShuffleFM  2 года назад +2

      To be fair moving it isn't exactly intuitive as a strategy. The croc itself moves around a lot so it makes the player think there's no point to moving it instead. Since it has 2 actions a turn it's hard to keep track of what it's doing unless you really focus on it as well.

    Something that I always found funny about CC is that you need invitations to go fight the bosses like: Let me beat the shit out of you. No you aint got no password buddy.
    I've killed the god of pigs, a bone spammer, yo mamma (hag), yo aunt (siren), a beeg flesh, a disturbed blind madman, a gun with wheels, Barbosa's crew, and some indescribable things, I came without knocking the door and now I cant kill Notredame hunchback mosquito version because of magic piece of paper? Lol
    Not that I have invitation crisis (usually I do the bosses in one go) but find it funny that you need an invitation to go and get slammed by 3 chevaliers for the lols like if it was a privilege.
    And who the heck checks if I have the invitation? The boss? A random mosquito in the door? Mmhhhh yes, this invitation is gud, welcome to the shithole, lemme guide you where you left... here, you left just outside the fat guy with corpses hangin on the roof like spiderman, enjoy your stance :D
    Also, can I falsify the invitation? Not that I need it, but can I? Are they gonna find out? What happens if I get caught? Are they gonna expell me? And if I resist? The more I think about it it gets more hilarious jaajajajajajaj.
